Contracting nucleolar vacuoles are a general and consistent
feature of somatic tobacco cells growing in microcultures. Nucleolar
vacuoles were studied in cells from callus tissues of two
single-cell clones, H-196 and H-239, of hybrid tobacco (Nicotiana
tabacum X N. glutinosa). Vacuoles periodically contracted either
completely or incompletely, apparently releasing a...
Solid solution alloying was employed in an attempt to produce some
relatively ductile form of beryllium. If the c/a ratio could be significantly
altered, it was felt new or different slip systems could be activated. The
following elements were selected on the basis of atomic size, melting point,
crystal structure...
A comparison of the various endocrine glands, in addition to
other anatomical measurements, was made on 19 normal and 21
dwarf 2-3-month-old females and 20 normal and 20 dwarf 7-13-month-old females of the White Leghorn breed. At both ages, dwarfs
weighed significantly less and had significantly shorter shanks than
normals....
This paper investigates a particular bridge construction technique
which could result in a significant torsional moment. The
structural member under consideration is a prestressed concrete
girder for which no torsional consideration is made.
Torsional shear stresses can be adequately approximated for
an I-shaped girder. Laboratory model tests were performed to...
An
investigation was
made
into certain
aspects
of
protein

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

Solutions to the variable permeability magnetostatic field
problem are achieved in both rectangular and cylindrical coordinates
for a wide variety of magnet geometries. The resulting
difference equations are solved iteratively and a method is
provided which substantially increases the rate of convergence
for these type of problems. Magnetization curves for...
