  • A study of antimutagenicity in yogurt

    Creator:
    Sudarshan, Nadathur R.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to identify antimutagens in yogurt active against the experimental colon carcinogen, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). Our initial experiments showed that acetone extracts of yogurt, or milk fermented by various lactic acid bacteria were antimutagenic against MNNG and 3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl (DMAB) in the Ames test (Salmonella typhimurium TA...

  • Disputant storytelling in divorce mediation

    Creator:
    Hansen, Alan R.
    Abstract:
    This paper investigates the nature of disputants' stories within the context of divorce mediation. Tapes and transcripts of actual mediation sessions from three different sources are scrutinized, utilizing a modified form of conversation analysis known as ethnography of speaking. Several themes emerge from this analysis of disputants' stories: the functions...

  • Nonintrusive intelligent monitoring for nuclear power plant emergency classification

    Creator:
    Greene, Kenneth R. (Kenneth Ray), 1958-
    Abstract:
    A prototype real-time process monitoring emergency classification expert system, RT/EM-CLASS, has been developed for use at the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant. This knowledge-based system features the integration of electronically sensed plant data with the menu selection data representation of its predecessor, EM-CLASS. This prototype demonstrates the techniques required to acquire...

  • Response of equipment in resilient-friction base isolated structures subjected to ground motion

    Creator:
    Lei, Kai-ming
    Abstract:
    The response of lightweight equipment in structures supported on resilient-friction-base isolators (R-FBI) subjected to harmonic ground motion and various earthquake ground motions is examined. The equipment-structure base system is modeled as a three degree-of-freedom discrete system (SDOF subsystems). An efficient semi-analytical numerical solution procedure for the determination of equipment response...

    Creator:
    Sukume, Chrispen
    Abstract:
    The U.S. farm sector has undergone dramatic structural change during the past fifty years, a chief result being that the number of large farms has increased relative to the number of small farms. Numerous agricultural policies have been instituted, with the partial objective of preserving the family farm. At the...

  • A knowledge-based approach for monitoring and situation assessment at nuclear power plants

    Creator:
    Heaberlin, Joan Oylear
    Abstract:
    An approach for developing a computer-based aid to assist in monitoring and assessing nuclear power plant status during situations requiring emergency response has been developed. It is based on the representation of regulatory requirements and plant-specific systems and instrumentation in the form of hierarchical rules. Making use of inferencing techniques...
