A series of four trials was conducted to evaluate activated
sewage sludge (AcSS) as a protein source. In the first trial the protein
efficiency ratio (PER) of sun-dried and auto-claved, sun-dried
AcSS was measured with rats. Growth of AcSS-fed rats was extremely
poor as compared to those rats fed casein,...
This study, conducted with the cooperation of the Oregon Comprehensive
Health Planning Agency, Salem, had a threefold purpose:
(1) to identify the role of the physician's assistant (PA) in Oregon,
(2) to provide substantive data for recommendations regarding changes

Modern science was produced by a Christian society,
and although science has had an effect on Christianity, it
could not itself remain unaffected. In the second half of
the nineteenth century, the subject of evolution was as
much a religious as a scientific issue. The battle line
was drawn and...
A need has existed for an in-depth structural analysis of penstock
bifurcations because they form an integral part of hydroelectric
power plants. Their geometrical complexity has prevented classical
structural analysis from providing an accurate and overall picture of
the stresses in the structure.
Digital computers and the development of finite...
Two spectrally different species of holotryptophanase
were obtained from fluorescence and circular dichroism
measurements. One is predominant in solutions containing
certain enzyme activating monovalent cations while the
other predominates in solutions of various inhibiting monovalent
cations. Relative magnitudes of the cation sensitive
fluorescent intensity maxima or circular dichroism
maxima are...
Alnus rubra (Bong. ) seedlings were grown in sand culture and
irrigated with nutrient solution containing CdCl₂
ranging from 5 μg to 100 mg per liter. Treatment of A. rubra seedlings for 4 weeks
with 50 and 100 mg CdCl₂
per liter of nitrogen-free nutrient solution
decreased in situ nitrogenase...
