  • 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...

  • Measurement of nitrogenase activity of intact legume symbionts in situ using the acetylene reduction assay

    Creator:
    Fishbeck, Kathleen Ann
    Abstract:
    The process of biological nitrogen fixation involves the enzymic reduction of atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) to ammonia (NH₃). The enzyme which catalyzes this reduction, nitrogenase, does not exhibit a high degree of substrate specificity. It also catalyzes the reduction of acetylene (C₂2H₂) to ethylene (C₂H₄). The reduction of C₂H₂ to C₂H₄...

  • The relationship of electrical impedance to vegetative maturity and dormancy in red-osier dogwood

    Creator:
    Parmelee, Kathleen Ann
    Abstract:
    Techniques to measure vegetative maturity and dormancy of deciduous nursery stock were investigated in red-osier dogwood. Previous methods which were based on: survival or tip dieback, change in level of ethylene production, xylem water potential, and alteration of square wave traces traces, provided no better indication of dormancy than did...

  • Physical hydrography and nutrient nitrogen budget of Auke Bay, Alaska

    Creator:
    Kirk, Deborah Kathleen
    Abstract:
    Physical sources of nutrient nitrogen for the Auke Bay, Alaska estuarine ecosystem were investigated. These sources included vertical dispersion, advection, and fresh water sources. Hydrographic circulation patterns for the bay, and a nutrient budget for the surface mixed layer were developed. Measurements of temperature, salinity, currents, wind velocity, rainfall and...

  • Transactional analysis applied to a community development issue

    Creator:
    Manolescu, Kathleen M.
    Abstract:
    Barth's theory of transactional analysis is applied to the community of Tiller, Oregon and its reaction to a development proposal. Community behavior patterns vis-a-vis the development proposal are examined from a processual point of view to determine how these patterns are generated. The community's history and contemporary situation are described....

  • The effect of folk dancing upon reaction time and movement time of senior citizens

    Creator:
    Boarman, A. Marie (Alice Marie)
    Abstract:
    With the neuromuscular performance deficit typically associated with aging, the maximum rate of response of the individual is diminished with advancing age. Physical activity has recently been examined as a possible factor delaying the aging process as it relates to neuromuscular performance. This investigation examined folk dancing as a potential...

  • Physical properties related to the service-ability of certain lining fabrics

    Creator:
    Sim, Sung Sik
    Abstract:
    With the increased variety and use of lining fabrics, consumers have become concerned over choices for lining fabrics which have good serviceability properties. The major purpose of this study was to secure some information on the physical properties of lining fabrics to help consumers in the selection of lining fabrics...

  • Inmate satisfaction with correctional institution clothing

    Creator:
    Stillings, Karen Lee
    Abstract:
    Relatively little, if any, research has been done in the area of attitudes of inmates toward the clothing, and clothing policies of correctional institutions. The purpose of this study was to provide exploratory research in the area of inmate attitude toward correctional institution clothing. The variables investigated were: age, race,...

  • Early events in hydrocortisone induced glutamine synthetase activity in differentiating chick neural retina

    Creator:
    Hull, Shirley Anne
    Abstract:
    Glutamine synthetase in the embryonic chick neural retina shows a 50 fold increase in activity between the 16th and 17th day of embryonic development. This increase in enzyme activity results from de novo enzyme synthesis thus making it a useful marker of differential gene expression. A precocious rise in activity...
