The lag phase, the specific growth rate, the minimum a [subscript w]
required for growth and the temperature characteristic of
Fsendomonas fluorescens, Brochothrix thermosphacta, Salmonella
typhlmurium, Streptococcus faecalis and, Staphylococcus aureus
have been studied in liquid model media under controlled temperature
and a [subscript w] conditions. The results show that...
Prior to this investigation few studies had looked at
the impact of equipment design on the creative thinking of
young children while they solved problems. Nor had previous
studies provided support for a clear link between creative
thinking and problem solving. An original piece of problem
solving equipment incorporating creative...
Holocene hemipelagic deposition of terrigenous silts and clays
dominates sedimentation on most of the Oregon and Washington continental
slope. The sources of these sediments, the mechanisms causing sediment
dispersal, and the relative contributions of the various continental
sources to the marine deposits have been investigated using quantitative
mineral and geochemical...
This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
This index provides access to infonnation about women in 102 books and journals. The information contained in each entry is only as good as the original and the quality varies considerably. Much of this infonnation has not before been easily accesible in this form. My hope is that this index...
Pregnant and weanling rats were fed liquid diets with
or without 30 percent of total kcal from ethanol and varying
levels of copper in order to determine if ethanol ingestion would
exaggerate a marginal copper status to an obvious copper
deficiency. Pregnant albino rats were fed either 0.75 or 3.75...
This is a listing of both PhD and Master's· theses relating to the areas of forestry issued during the period from July 1976 to June 1981. The
list is arranged first by state, then by college or university within each state. Authors of theses are arranged alphabetically under each of...
Low back pain (LBP) is a major-health and economic
problem with uncertain etiology, and no known effective
means of prevention and control. Data for this
investigation were obtained from the second National
Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II)
conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics.
The NHANES II...
The study was undertaken to investigate characteristics of
consumers of used clothing and the outlets in which used clothing is
sold. The investigation of consumer characteristics involved demographic factors such as sex, age, educational level, employment
status, family composition, income level, user of clothing purchased,
use of clothing, reasons for...
The cytolytic properties of the mosquitocidal 25 Kd protein deltaendotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) was studied using the human erythrocyte as a target cell. Both a fixedtime and a kinetic hemolytic bioassay were developed in order to screen a variety of treatments for their influence on the toxinerythrocyte...
Maintenance of one's self and one's people in a free
society requires educational, cultural, and economic
literacy. This is fully as imperative in a democracy as the
maintenance of ignorance of slaves is required in an
oppressive society. The requisite skills needed both to
sustain one's self and become a...
Aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) is a mold-produced toxin which has been shown
to be a potent hepatocarcinogen in many animal species. Of the
species studied thus far, rainbow trout have proven to be the most
sensitive. Experiments were conducted to investigate various aspects
of AFB₁ metabolism in this species, including in...
