This study Is a rhetorical analysis of ten documents of Joseph
Smith, Jr's. early revelations spanning the period of 1829 to 1831
to determine the extent to which he used demagogic rhetoric in pursuit
of his goals. A definition of demagoguery is provided and is
applied in an analysis of...
Many higher plants have mycorrhizae associated with their roots. These structures are often essential for survival and growth (Harley & Smith 1983). Mycorrhizae are known for the abilities to enhance nutrient absorption. While nitrogen-fixing organisms are found as components of the mycorrhizosphere, mycorrhizal fungi are not presently known to fix...
Cell populations of the marine bacterium ANT-300, from
either batch culture or continuous culture with dilution
rates ranging from D = 0.170 h⁻¹ (fast) to D = 0.015 h⁻¹ (slow) were monitored for 98 days under starvation.
Viability (CFU), acridine orange direct counts (AODC), and
optical density were measured. DNA,...
Effect of diets varying in amount of cholesterol and
polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio (P/S) on plasma lipid
levels and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity was
determined in fourteen young adult male subjects during a 13-week
experimental period in a crossover design.
Control diet was fed for two weeks prior...
The psychrophilic marine Vibrio sp., ANT-300, was able to utilize a variety of carbon sources that can be considered typical for the marine environment. The organism grew abundantly on glucose and serine. Chitin was hydrolyzed even when it was offered as the only carbon source, while no growth occurred on...
Previous research had identified four serogroups of Rhizobium trifolii
indigenous to Abiqua soil (fine, mixed, mesic, Cumulic Ultic Haploxerolls).
Nodulation of subterranean clover (Trifolium, subterraneum L.) by two of the
serogroups, 6 and 36, was influenced by the application of CaC0₃ to the soil.
The studies described in this thesis...
The crop rotation decision is important to farmers because of its
impact on profitability, financing and risk exposure. This thesis
addresses the problem of farm level crop rotation selection under perfect
and imperfect knowledge of prices, yields and costs. The problem
is addressed by first estimating production functions for irrigated...
