This thesis describes a control tool for managers of a
Broiler Breeder Farm, a farm which raises chickens for the purpose
of fertile egg production. It presents the development of
a simulation of a Broiler Breeder Farm which uses a deterministic
step by step process to generate expected values of...

Various antifoulant treatment programs and the
considerations necessary for the effective use of such
programs were examined.
Two different groups of tests, with and without
iron contamination, have been carried out on the
effectiveness of several of the state-of-the-art
copolymers (PA, HEDP, AA/HPA, AA/MA, SS/MA and AA/SA) in
the inhibition...
The purpose of this study was, first, to investigate whether there
is a vitamin B-6 requirement for carnitine synthesis and, second, to investigate
the effect of fasting on vitamin B-6 metabolism. An experimental
group of 72 rats (6 per group) were fed either a vitamin B-6 deficient
diet (-B6) (ad...
We investigated the effect of pyridoxine
supplementation on the utilization of protein in a low-protein,
plant-based diet in four subjects (2 men and
2 women), aged 21 to 38 years. Following two days of a
negligible protein diet, this 34 day study was divided into
three dietary periods: the subjects...
A set of genes which show developmental and tissue
specificity are expressed late in embryo maturation during
grain formation in wheat (Triticum aestivum). Two members
of this maturation gene set (MGS) are Em and triticin, a 7S
globulin. Results presented here show that during
embryogenesis, the expression of Em mRNA...
The purpose of the study was to identify a list of skills, knowledges and related factors that are common to fourteen occupational cluster areas representative of the work community of Oregon. PROCEDURES A list of skills, knowledges and related factors needed for successful employment was derived from existing task analyses...
