The purpose of the present study was to determine the association
of initial weight, average daily gain, days on feed, percent total
digestible nutrients (TDN) and percent digestible protein in the ration
with USDA carcass grade, marbling score, conformation score, back
fat thickness and area of longissimus dorsi of beef...
This study describes the development and analysis of a manual
for management and supervisory personnel involved with employee
training programs in sanitary food production in the frozen fruit and
vegetable industry. The physical aspects of the plant, microbiology
of frozen foods, and employee training are discussed in relationship
to the...
The familiar equilibrium between 1, 7- octadiene and cyclooctene
at temperatures exceeding 3000, indicates that an ene-retroene
process could be used as a six atom ring expansion method. To test
this possibility we prepared both cis and trans isomers of 1, 2- diallyl-
1, 2 -bis (trimethylsiloxy) cyclohexane and pyrolyzed...
Unit cell or pin cell calculations form the basis for
most nuclear core modeling. Because of this, it is of primary
importance to perform these unit cell calculations
accurately.
The subject of this thesis is the analysis of one of
the major approximations made in unit cell modeling, the
infinite...
The retro-ene reaction of 2-vinylcyclohexanols occurs readily
in the vapor phase at 400-450° producing unsaturated carbonyl
compounds in good yields. The starting- materials were prepared in
general by the carbenoid addition reaction of ethyl diazoacetate,
appropriately substituted cyclohexene, and copper catalyst to
produce bicyclic esters which were reduced to the...
Interval arithmetic is applied to the problem of obtaining
rigorous solutions to integral equations on a computer. The
integral equations considered are the linear Fredholm equation of
the second kind and the nonlinear Urysohn equation. Techniques are
presented which enable the computer to find an approximate
solution, prove the existence...
The sensitivity of Bacteroides nodosus, causative agent of sheep foot rot, to 24 selected antimicrobial agents was tested. Many contaminants ordinarily associated with foot rot lesions were sensitive to lincomycin while B nodosus demonstrated resistance to this antibiotic. A concentration of 1.08 μg of lincomycin/ml of basal medium optimally inhibited...
Nonlinear large deflection finite element analyses of a fabric
reinforced embankment on muskeg were performed to predict fabric
tension and the effect of fabric stiffness on embankment deflections.
The predicted fabric tensions were compared with the results of a
sliding block analysis, and show this simple analysis requires further
correlation...
Seven commercially prepared brands of lactic streptococcal
phage inhibitory media were obtained from their manufacturers.
Comparisons between the different media were made with respect
to buffering capacity, ability to support lactic streptococcal growth,
ability to suppress bacteriophage replication, and ability to support
Leuconostoc growth. Nonfat milk was used during experiments...
The objectives of this study were to determine the diets of
cattle at risk to DABPE on stress and inciting pastures and to determine
if segregated feeding groups of cattle displayed differential
susceptibility to DABPE.
Stress pastures were classified and mapped by plant communities
and segregated feeding group areas. Cattle...
This study develops a general discrete flow model which is
discrete both in time and space. A stirred tank network model
(continuous time compartment model) is summarized and then compared
with the discrete flow model. Both models make use of a
fractional input matrix with elements representing the fraction of...
Objectives of the Study
The study attempted to accomplish the following:
1. Document the fundamental or conservative nature of
early American higher education, especially the nine
colonial colleges, and verify its seemingly irrepressible
progression toward liberalism.
2. Determine the nature of variables associated with the
process of liberalization.
3. Isolate...
