  • Oxytocin synthesis and release by the bovine corpus luteum

    Creator:
    Abdelgadir, Salaheldin Eltigani
    Abstract:
    Four experiments were conducted to determine oxytocin concen tration of bovine luteal tissue at different stages of the estrous cycle and to study the effects of prostaglandins F₂α (PGF₂α), E₂ (PGE₂), luteinizing hormone (LH), cycloheximide, colchicine and cytochalasin B on oxytocin synthesis and release in vitro. In experiment 1, luteal...

  • Scheduling non-uniform parallel loops on MIMD computers

    Creator:
    Liu, Jie
    Abstract:
    Parallel loops are one of the main sources of parallelism in scientific applications, and many parallel loops do not have a uniform iteration execution time. To achieve good performance for such applications on a parallel computer, iterations of a parallel loop have to be assigned to processors in such a...

  • Instructional methods for dietetic perceptors

    Creator:
    Overpeck, Nancy Lee
    Abstract:
    This study attempted to answer the following question: What instructional methods should dietetic preceptors use to help dietetic interns meet the performance requirements specified by the American Dietetic Association (ADA, 1991) for entry-level dietitians? A national sample of 170 dietetic preceptors was surveyed. Ninety provided usable information to examine both...
