The purpose of this research was to determine if significant
differences existed in college performance and in selected areas of
attitude and opinion between male upperclassmen residing in fraternities
and non-fraternity male upperclassmen living in residence
halls.
Two samples consisting of (a) 86 upperclassmen from the residence
halls and (b)...
Temporal variations in individual spectrum lines
emitted by a microwave discharge in pure helium are
investigated: The discharge is produced in a quartz tube
located inside of a section of waveguide which carries
pulsed 3 centimeter microwaves. The helium used is purified by a three-fold process consisting of treatment with...
Routine studies of bacterial fatty acid and lipid composition,
made possible by recently developed techniques, have brought about
an increasing interest in the physiological significance of these
compounds. The purpose of this study was to characterize the fatty
acids of the vegetative cells of Clostridium botulinum 33A, as the
first...
The difficulties encountered in working with micro-quantities
of lipids have been overcome by the advent of new and improved
procedures in chromatography which have made possible better
fractionation and identification. Bacterial lipids because of their
different lipid pattern from other life forms have stimulated much
interest. Studies have been made...
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...
Disc gel electrophoresis of the vegatative cell -free extracts ofstrains of Clostridium botulinum types A, B, C, E, and F and therelated nontoxic group showed limited value as a means for identifyingthese closely related microorganisms, since separation,though not consistent in all cases, could only be based on the numberof protein...
Studies were conducted under controlled conditions in order
to observe the resulting survival patterns in solid crabmeat of
Salmonella typhosa, Salmonella paratyphi B, and SaImonella wichita
following individual exposure to various doses of gamma radiation.
As shown in their survival curves, these species of Salmonella
exhibited in varying degrees a...
Studies have been made to determine the limits of tolerance to
gamma radiation for 15 cultures of the following bacterial species
both in culture media and in irradiation-sterilized seafoods (crab-meat,
halibut and shrimp) inoculated with Salmonella (seven species),
Shigella (three species), and one species each of Neisseria, Myco-bacterium, Esctrerichia, Proteus...
