Surrogate motherhood is a very complex issue with
many groups having vested interests. In order to measure
attitudes specific to surrogacy a 20-item Likert Scale
with high reliability was developed through item analysis
(N=131, Part-whole correlation range 0.749-0.478).
Correlation of surrogacy attitudes was subsequently
related to six other instruments: AIDS,...
It has long been observed that stress can increase our
susceptibility to infectious diseases and cancers. Recent
experimental evidence suggests that this increased susceptibility is
due to suppression of immunity. A variety of neuroendocrine products
are released during periods of stress, and a large number of these
are now known...
The object of this research study is to investigate and provide
some fundamental information about bed slumping in a partially defluidized
bed combustor. Due to the difficulty in making measurements and
observations at high temperature, a dynamically similar cold phase
fluidized bed was used to model the high temperature case....
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the
source of the external trade statistics in measuring the price
responsiveness of foreign demands and relative price competitiveness
of the major exporting countries in trade of agricultural commodities
in international markets. In particular, the papers included in this...
Two problems relating to the processing of solid streams are
treated in two sections.
The first section is the study of heat transfer between an
immersed cylinder and a moving bed of solids: An instrumented heated
cylinder was placed in the flow stream of a moving bed of solids with...
This study is primarily concerned with the measurement of the local radiative component of total heat transfer around a horizontal tube immersed in a large particle fluidized bed at elevated temperatures.Total heat transfer was also measured in order to assess the relative radiation contribution.The radiation measurement probe employs a silicon...
Aerobic heterotrophic bacteria associated with oyster larvae feed
algae Isochrysis galbana, Monochrysis lutheri and Pseudoisochrysis
paradoxa were isolated and enumerated. The bacterial numbers ranged
from 7.8x10³ to 3.9x10⁶ CFU per ml. The bacteria associated with
Pseudoisochrysis sp. were identified and the majority of isolates
belonged to genera Leucothrix (51%). Also...
A complete analytical model of radiative and convective heat
transfer to a horizontal tube in small and large particle gas fluidized
beds has been developed. In the model the bed of particles
consists of an emulsion phase and a bubble phase. The emulsion phase
is approximated by a series of...
