A compartmental model of the immune system is simulated.
Chapter I discusses the importance of such a
model, reviews past immune system models, and summaries
the immunological theory the model is based upon. In
Chapter II, the compartmental representation of the immune
system is developed from immunological and physiological
theory....

This study was conducted to examine the coefficient of drag resistance (µ) between a log and bare forest soil during partial
suspension yarding. Drag resistance in this study was defined as the resistance due to friction between the soil and the log plus the resistance due to the plowing action...
Micro-organisms associated with gari, produced in Cameroun,
Africa, by the traditional method and that produced in the laboratory,
were isolated, identified, and screened for their abilities to produce
gari flavor. Gari production, under the controlled conditions was
attempted utilizing these isolates and the dairy starter cultures.

This paper compares three classes of algorithms for finding
Hamiltonian circuits in graphs. Two of the classes are exhaustive
search procedures and this study finds them to have an exponential
dependence on the size of the graph. The third class of algorithms,
based on Warnsdorff's rule, is found to be...
