Five breeds of sheep (Columbia, Targhee, Rambouillet, Lincoln,
and Suffolk) were found to possess two hemoglobin types (Hb. A
and Hb. B) when their hemoglobins were examined by disc gel electrophoresis.
The hemoglobin alleles proved to be co-dominant.
Three of the breeds (Columbia, Targhee, and Rambouillet)
were maintained at altitudes...
This study was conducted to investigate the production and processing technology of common ryegrass screenings and to determine
the nutritive value of these screenings for sheep. The animal response
to them was assessed when the sheep were fed on the screenings
alone and in combination with other feedstuffs.
Four in...
The primary objective of this study was to develop a prototype
instrument of procedures and criteria to be used by community college
s for self-analysis and evaluation purposes. The study grew out of
the recognized need to assess and improve the effectiveness and pertinence
of community college philosophies, roles and...
Detoxification of atrazine in soils results from both chemical
hydrolysis and microbial degradation.
Infrared analysis was used
to study the hydrolysis of atrazine upon interaction with soil
colloids
and to ascertain the existence of enol, keto, and protonated-keto
forms of hydroxyatrazine.
Evolution of ¹⁴CO₂ from ¹⁴C-atrazine
and ¹⁴C-hydroxyatrazine was indicative...
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a required
mathematics content course upon prospective elementary school
teachers at Brigham Young University. The investigation consisted of
three major areas: (1) attitudes toward mathematics, (2) basic mathematical
understanding, and (3) the relationship between certain selected
variables.
Procedure...
Estimates of heritability and associations of tiller number,
seed number, seed weight, and seed yield were determined in two
groups of tall fescue. Group E was early maturing and had eight
parental clones, while group I was intermediate in maturity and had
nine parental clones. The parents and five progeny...
Experiments are reported which demonstrate that a cobalt deficiency
in R. meliloti results in a decreased cytochrome content of
bacterial cells. It is concluded that the effect of cobalt deficiency
on cytochrome content of Rhizobium cells and on the leghemoglobin
content of nodules possibly may be explained by an effect...
Data from 592 litters of pigs farrowed and raised at the
Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station at Corvallis from the spring
of 1961 through the spring of 1968 were analyzed for effects of year
and season of birth, breed, sex, inbreeding and age of dam on
measures of fecundity, growth rate...
