The purpose of this study was to explore the housing expenditures
and factors in, housing selection and satisfaction of single
adults. The population tested was guests and members of two single
Catholic adult clubs in Portland, Oregon. Questionnaires designed
for collecting the data for the study were mailed to the...
Thirty-six female guinea pigs were placed on a scorbutogenic
diet for 14 days and then divided into groups of four. Three groups
received adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) with each group given
10, 20, or 40 units. Three groups each received 50 mg of ascorbic
acid and three groups received 50 mg...
Consider the c- sample testing problem with null hypothesis H[subscript]o : F₁(x) = ... = F[subscript]c(x), where F[subscript]j(x), j = 1 ..., c, represent
absolutely continuous distribution functions for failure distributions.
Furthermore, consider arbitrarily (right) censored samples, which
may arise from putting the (censored) experimental units on test at
different...
The increasing knowledge of the significance of vitamin B₆ in
human metabolic processes has emphasized the importance of developing
reliable means of assessing nutritional status with respect to
this vitamin. One possible approach to this end is the measurement
of pyridoxal phosphate in blood or plasma, particularly since this
phosphorylated...
Thirty-six gilts were used in an experiment of 2³ factorial
design. The experiment consisted of two breeds (Yorkshire-
Berkshire and Yorkshire), two feeding regimens (pre-breeding and
post-breeding) and two levels of dichlorvos (2, 2-dichlorovinyl
dimethyl phosphate, 0 and 800 mg. per gilt per day). Pre-breeding
treatment consisted of feeding dichlorvos...
The accumulation of dieldrin and its effects on species composition of benthic algal communities were studied in laboratory
streams. Effects of dieldrin on photosynthetic and respiratory
rates of the blue-green alga Phormidium retzii were determined using
a Gilson Differential Respirometer.
Dieldrin concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 7.0 ppb were
maintained...
An experiment was conducted during the period November 1967
to November 1968 at Oregon State University (OSU) and the Umatilla
Branch Experiment Station (BES) at Hermiston, two trials at each
location, to answer several questions: (1) could comparable rations
for swine be formulated by a computer on a least-cost basis;...
In this study subcutaneous, inter- and intramuscular fats from 42
Hereford steers were analyzed for their fatty acid composition using
gas-liquid chromatography. The same tissues were analyzed from one
pair each of identical twins of Angus and Shorthorn breeding. Muscle
and liver lipids from these latter four animals were fractionated...
