  • Reactions of protein with phenols and quinones evaluation of amino acid modification and protein digestibility

    Creator:
    Wehr, Herbert Michael
    Abstract:
    Plant tissues contain a wide variety of phenolic compounds, frequently in high concentration. Both non-covalent association of intact and oxidized phenols and covalent linkage of oxidized phenols to protein occur. Such interactions can have important biochemical and nutritional significance. A model system approach was used to identify and quantitate amino...

  • Studies of the radiance of metal grinding sparks

    Creator:
    Kelley, John E.
    Abstract:
    A method for measuring the spark-shower radiance of metals when abraded on an abrasive grinding wheel was developed for evaluating their sparking tendency. One hundred metals were tested and rated relative to commercially pure iron. The radiance was measured in units of energy per solid angle per area of the...

  • Genotype x environment interactions in sheep

    Creator:
    Corum, Kathleen Steele
    Abstract:
    The 865 ewe production records taken from three lamb crops, were analyzed to study breed effects, heterosis, environmental effects and interactions between them, and breed and heterosis x environment interaction effects on ewe production traits. In each of two environments, approximately 144 ewes were mated in a three breed reciprocal...

  • The effect of typical production variables on the strength of high purity commercial tantalum sheet

    Creator:
    Findley, Lee Gordon
    Abstract:
    The erratic behavior of the room temperature yield strength of high purity commercial tantalum sheet was studied. Critical factors in the production process were postulated and then investigated to determine their effects on strength properties. Chemical composition was found to be the most important factor contributing to the strength; thermomechanical...

  • Genetic and environmental differences in age at first estrus and in wool and lamb production of crossbred ewe lambs

    Creator:
    Cedillo, Rose Mary
    Abstract:
    Genetic and environmental factors affecting age of first estrus, wool production, reproduction and lamb production were examined in eight groups of crossbred ewe lambs from two birth years. The 399 ewe lambs whose first year production was analyzed were from eight crossbred groups resulting from mating North Country Cheviot, Dorset,...

  • Low temperature deformation characteristics of yttrium single crystals

    Creator:
    Sokaski, Michael
    Abstract:
    First order prism slip in yttrium single crystals containing a total interstitial impurity content of about 200 wt ppm is almost entirely stage II deformation with a work hardening rate θ/μ of 2·10⁻ ³ . The athermal temperature is about 300°K. Below this temperature an interstitial mechanism is rate controlling...

  • Biological and economic effects of flushing and creep feeding in sheep

    Creator:
    Taiwo, Bolaji
    Abstract:
    One hundred two mature blackface crossbred ewes were randomly divided into three equal groups to examine the effects of feeding management during mating on blood chemistry, weight change and subsequent reproductive performance. Group I was kept in drylot from 17 days before through 17 days after the start of mating....

  • Temporal maternal behavior patterns in two inbred lines of mice and reciprocally cross-fostered individuals

    Creator:
    Shreffler, Carol Kauffman
    Abstract:
    The location of a lactating mouse in a cage of two compartments, a nest area and a larger wire cage, was continuously recorded for ten days after parturition. Three experimental groups within each of two inbred lines, A/J and C57BL/6J, were tested: first generation, unfostered; second generation, unfostered; and second...

  • The inheritance of appetite in ruminants

    Creator:
    Ngam, Joe Eric Tosah
    Abstract:
    The study involved three separate research efforts in which 10 Holstein calves and 85 purebred Hampshire and Suffolk ewe and ram lambs were employed. The objectives of the experiments were to characterize appetite, describe its inheritance and evaluate its associations with animal performance. In the calf experiment, appetite was determined...
