The purposes of this investigation were twofold:
1. To determine important criteria for making a selection of
course content in general biology.
2. To ascertain what should be the content emphasis in
biology for the purposes of general education at the freshman
college level.
The literature pertinent to the problem...
The analysis of the most recent revision of the Clothing Construction
Placement Test battery was undertaken for the purpose of
evaluating the worth of the three parts of the test in placing students
in the accelerated and regular sections of Clothing Construction,
CT 210, and in determining exemptions from the...
The main goals of this study were: (1) to develop a combination
of soiling, laundering, and soil detection procedures which would be
accurate, reproducible, and relatively rapid; (2) to develop a quantitative
method to detect artificial soil on fabrics by X-ray fluorescent
spectroscopy; (3) to compare unfinished and Wurlan finished...
Factors influencing diacetyl production by the aroma bacteria
Leuconostoc citrovorum and Streptococcus diacetilactis were investigated.
When grown in association with lactic streptococci, L. citrovorum
strain 91404 decreased in cell numbers from 10⁸ to 10⁶ over
two weeks of daily subculturing in sterile non-fat milk incubated at
21°C. The ability to...
Trypticase-Soy Broth (TSB) was inoculated with Streptococcus
diacetilactis, incubated at 21C for 24 hours and centrifuged to remove
the cells. When the spent TSB was inoculated with Staphylococcus
aureus, it allowed 99.8% less growth than fresh TSB. If the spent
TSB were supplemented with 0.08 μg/ml of niacinamide, this inhibition...
This thesis is a study of the job satisfaction Home Economics
majors experience from their work in junior executive positions in
retailing, an investigation of their former expectations and approach
to retailing, and an evaluation of certain specific course areas usually
included in clothing, textiles, and related course areas in...
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...
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect
of a number of physical and chemical attributes upon muskmelon
texture as described by sensory evaluation. Measurements of turgor
pressure, percent moisture, total sugars, alcohol-insoluble-solids,
three pectic fractions, total pectic materials, starch and cellulose
were performed on 50 melons....
Many species of the Fagaceae have been variously interpreted
on the basis, primarily of external morphological characteristics.
The objectives of this study are to elucidate generic and specific
characteristics of the wood of Fagaceae and to attempt to obtain evidence
regarding taxonomic relationships among some of the species
occurring in...
