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.

Green peach aphid and associated weed populations
were monitored continuously from April, 1978 to March,
1979 at three orchards and a drainage ditch. Aphid
populations at all sites peaked in spring and declined in
summer. Although natural enemies were most active during
the period of peak aphid abundance, they were...
Partly laminated sediments on the upper continental
slope (200-600 m) off central Peru contain a diverse assemblage
of fish debris, diatoms, and the remains of a variety
of other nektonic, planktic, and benthic organisms. Approximately
97 percent of the fish scales recovered from
the best preserved cores come from the...
The effect of cooked wheat bran on the excretion of
fecal nutrients, fecal weight, and transit time was investigated
in 10 men, aged 20 to 35 years. The study was
divided into three 18-day periods. The subjects were
divided into two groups; one received the basal diet supplemented
with 15...
Twenty-five idiopathic developmentally delayed children between
two and ten years old were studied. A group of thirty non-delayed
children of like age and sex was used as a control. Dietary
information was collected for each subject via a 24-hour dietary
recall, a two-day diet record, and a food frequency crosscheck....
Twenty-eight bean breeding lines and cultivars were classified
for resistance to bean yellow mosaic virus type strain 7634 (BYMV)
and severe strain Gilbert 6 (BYMV-S). 'Great Northern U.I. 31'
(G.N. 31) and breeding lines (S-lines) selected from a cross between
G.N. 31 and O.S.C. 21 were chosen as parents for...
A cinematographic analysis of hurdling technique was completed
using six high school women in the 100 meter hurdle event as
subjects. The study was descriptive in design, intending to make
objective comparisons of selected elements of the hurdling action.
Sixteen hypotheses were developed and tested, in an effort to describe...
