A programmed unit on diabetes mellitus was written
and tested on three groups of students. These included a
class of licensed practical nurses taking a refresher
course in pharmacology, a class of third year pharmacy
students, and a class of first year students enrolled in
a three year nursing program....
Pea streak virus (Marmor trifolii Holmes) is widespread and
occasionally destructive in Eastern Oregon and Washington, and in
many other pea growing areas. Since control by the use of insecticides
to kill the insect vector is only partially successful, resistant
varieties of peas are needed.
In a study to confirm...
A probability model has been developed for the survival of
irradiated bacteria with respect to the dose of radiation. This model
is applicable to those bacterial taxa to which the target theory applies.
Three estimation procedures are given for the purpose of
obtaining estimates of the probability model's parameters. These...
The major purpose of the study was to determine whether
science process achievement tests could be developed for administration
to groups of primary grade students. Six Basic Science Process
Tests (BSPT) were constructed as samples of the format proposed.
Each BSPT was designed to assess one of the basic science...
Gamma irradiation inactivation kinetics were studied using
fifteen organisms naturally contaminating seafoods. Survival curves
for seven Salmonella, three Shigella, two Streptococcus species and
a Staphylococcus, Escherichia and Proteus species were determined
using Hartsell's broth and fresh oysters. Also, the Shigella species
and one species of Streptococcus, Escherichia and Proteus were...
The initial purpose of this study was to develop a reliable method
for the determination of vitamin B₆ in blood. At the present time
microbiological assays have demonstrated greater sensitivity and
specificity than other methods for the of vitamin B₆ in
pure solution and many foodstuffs. However, adetermination pplication of...
Tissue obtained by punch biopsy from the antebrachial organ of
Lemur catta has been studied with the electron microscope. This study
describes the fine structure of the interstitial cells found between
apocrine sweat glands in the antebrachial organ. These large polygonal
cells are of three types: light cells, dark cells,...
This investigation was undertaken to provide a chemical
description of an actinophage for Streptomyces griseus, and to
determine the base composition of the phage DNA moiety. It was
believed of interest to learn whether the actinophage for the
filamentous S. griseus host would be different in its chemical
properties from...
The major purpose of this study was to compare the occurrence
of "delinquent" and "non-delinquent" responses and their contingent
social reinforcements during informal cottage peer interaction at a
training school for adolescent delinquent girls. The following hypotheses were tested: (1) The occurrence of delinquent responses exceeds
the occurrence of non-delinquent...
This thesis describes the viral susceptibility of two cell
cultures established from embryonic tissue of salmonid
fish, chinook salmon line CHSE-114 and steelhead trout line STE-137. The viruses used were Oregon sockeye salmon virus (OSV),
Sacramento River chinook disease virus (SRCD), Western equine
encephalitis virus (WEE) and Newcastle disease virus...
