A simulation model capable of execution on a programmable
calculator was developed to study voluntary intake,
liveweight change, and fertility of grade Zebu cows in the
Llanos of Colombia. Organic nitrogen in the diet and meta
bolic weight were used to predict intake; age, liveweight,
and energy concentration were the...
Dietary fiber has been suggested as interfering with
mineral utilization. The influence of broccoli florets and
wastes, cauliflower heads and wastes, wheat bran and Metamucil
on mineral uptake by the rat was determined using
balance studies. All results were compared to control
animals fed diets containing 10% hydrolyzed cellulose.
Utilization...
Extensive new trackline coverage of the Chile Trench between 23°S and 34°S, including more than 60 bathymetric and seismic reflection profiles across the trench axis, allows a much more detailed study of the tectonics and sedimentation of this feature than previously possible. Sediment distribution along the axis shows a remarkable...
A procedure for evaluating the precision of atomic absorption
measurements is presented and applied to 21 elements under varying
instrumental conditions. The experimental relative standard deviations
(RSD's) in absorbance obtained from repetitive measurements made
with a high resolution voltmeter and on-line computer, are compared
to those predicted by a recently...
This compilation follows the Fifty-Seven-Year Index to the Sierra Club Bulletin annuals, 1893-1949, compiled by Dorothy H. Bradley and George Shochat and published by the Club in 1952. This index covers the monthly issues from 1950 through 1976 as well as the annuals, which were dated as monthly issues but...
