A study was conducted to determine the influence of DMSO
(dimethyl sulfoxide) on suberization and wound periderm formation
in cut potato tuber tissue, and to determine the effectiveness of
DMSO as a potato seedpiece treatment for prevention of seedpiece
decay in the field. The influences of tuber storage conditions,
varieties,...
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.
The physiologic specialization of nine isolates of stripe rust
(Puccinia striiformis West.) collected in the Pacific Northwest
was determined. The separation of races was based on the differential
susceptibility of the following wheat varieties: Cappelle
Desprez, Chinese 166, Dippes Triumph, Druchamp, Etoile de
Choisy, Flamingo, Gaines, Golden, Ibis, Leda, Michigan...
Equilibrium data for the sucrose-potassium chloride-water
system were taken for Dowex 50 W X 4 resin at 90° C. The sugar
concentration was varied from 0% to 60% by weight, and the salt content,
from 0% to 6% by weight. Because shrinkage of the resin due
to salt absorption was...
Acetylimidazole was used to acetylate the tyrosyl residues
of insulin. The kinetics of acetylation were studied by termination of
the reaction at several time intervals, isolation of acetylated insulin
and determination of 0-acetyltyrosyl groups by deacetylation with
hydroxylamine. The deacetylation was also studied kinetically by
means of the absorbancy change...
A comparative study was made on the effect of urea denaturation
of bovine serum albumin (BSA), polyglycyl BSA and poly-L-phenylalanyl
BSA. The denaturation process was followed by ultraviolet
spectrophotometry and optical rotation.
A blue shift in the absorption maximum at 278 mμ was observed
in urea denatured proteins, In 7M...
An
investigation was
made
into certain
aspects
of
protein
synthesis
at
different
developmental stages
of the
flesh fly
Sarcophaga
bullata.
This
included
measurements
of the
incorporation of
labeled
amino
acids into
protein
by intact cells
from
a
single
organ, the
larval
fat
body,
and
a
study
of
