Ellipsometry was used to study the effects of surface energetics
and temperature on the equilibrium adsorptive behavior exhibited by
β-lactoglobulin. β-Lactoglobulin isotherms at 25, 37, and 55°C were
constructed for this purpose. The surfaces of acrylic, polycarbonate,
polyester, glass, and #304 stainless steel were contacted with protein
solutions of varying...
The relative enrichment of skin sebaceous gland lipids with deuterium-labeled α-tocopherol was compared with plasma enrichment to evaluate the delivery of vitamin E to skin. For the first week of this study, each subject consumed a daily dose of deuterated vitamin E (150 mg of an equimolar mixture of RRR-α-[5-(C²H₃)]-(d₃)...

during the period of the Harlem Renaissance. The
purpose of this study is to show that three of her four
novels form a protracted discussion of a particular
type of freedom which was of especial interest to
Hurston. The study seeks to...
The effects of zinc and phosphorus treatments on five different
plant species were investigated in a greenhouse experiment. A
second greenhouse experiment extended these investigations in sweet
corn over a broad range of phosphorus treatments with and without
adequate zinc nutrition to study phosphorus induced zinc deficiency.
The plant responses...
Bacteria were isolated from water at Alder Slough, Oregon. Of
15 isolates grown successfully in the medium employed, 100% showed
measurable uptake of Zn-65. A growth curve was established for one
isolate, a gram-negative rod designated AS-1. Increasing Zn-65 uptake
was found generally to correspond with increasing growth of
AS-1....
Zinc, copper and manganese concentrations were measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy in Siliqua patula collected during May, 1970 through May, 1971. Individual clams were analysed to determine the degree of variation among individuals, Statistical analysis proved the variation to be highly significant. Monthly composite samples of 18 clams were collected...
Today in the United States, herbal supplements are growing increasingly popular, however, little is known about the safety and efficacy of these products. This study contributes to the growing body of information about the prevalence of herbal supplement use among young adults (18 to 24 years) and the beliefs young...
