Attempts were made to study the effect of parathion and DDT
on the postnatal development of mice. Parathion, DDT or corn oil
(control) was administered to gravid mice during the first, second,
and third trimesters of pregnancy. Thus, nine groups of offspring
were obtained. Four different techniques, Audiogenic Seizure,
Conditioned...
It is common to characterize adrenergic receptors by placing
them in one of two categories, alpha or beta. The receptors responsible
for adrenergically induced increase in cardiac contractile force
and glycogenolysis are usually classified as beta receptors, but such
a classification is not definitely established. Therefore, an attempt
was made...
A study of the effect of mixing on the oxygen uptake rate of
estuarine bottom deposits is presented. The method of study involved
the mixing of samples of bottom deposits with the overlying water to
result in concentrations of suspended matter in the same order as
observed in the estuary....
This thesis brings together under one cover a survey of the
history of the real number pi along with a study of the present state
of its theory, application, and calculation.
Considerable evidence exists to suggest the notion that selected
personality traits may be related to specific aspects of academic
achievement. This study was directed toward the investigation of this
relationship in the case of non-science majors enrolled in a college
course in physical science.
Personality was assessed with the California...
An

into certain
aspects
of
protein

at
different
developmental stages
of the

This
included
measurements
of the
incorporation of
labeled
amino
acids into
protein
by intact cells
from
a
single
organ, the
larval

The 3-cyclohexenyl carbinyl carbene species was formed by the
thermal decomposition of the p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone sodium
salt and by oxidation of the hydrazone. Several oxidizing agents
were studied. The products were investigated under aprotic and
protic conditions and at various temperatures. The diazocompound
was formed as an intermediate and found to...
RNA isolated from BAI strain A (Myeloblastosis) Avian Tumor
Virus can be fractionated into two fractions on a sucrose density
gradient, one of higher molecular weight and one of low molecular
weight. The low molecular weight (LMW) virus RNA was found to
chromatograph the same as E. coli tRNA on...
