The aflatoxins, carcinogenic and toxic mold metabolites
of Aspergillus flavus, were isolated and determined
in cottonseed meal and other feedstuffs. This new
quantitative method uses an acetone soxhlet extraction to
remove the toxins from the defatted meal. The residual
triglycerides, phospholipids and pigments were removed
from the acetone by filtration...
The use of a three-pipe distribution system is known to impair
the operating costs of an air conditioning system. Additional costs
are encountered because heating water and cooling water are mixed
in a common return pipe after use by the various air conditioning
units. This investigation covers the design and...
A method is developed for calculating the reactivity
worth of the heavy water coolant of the Plutonium
Recycle Test Reactor (PRTR). The coolant reactivity
worth is determined by calculating the effective multiplication
constant of the reactor core with and without
the coolant in given process tubes. The calculational
method includes...
Eighty-one microbial species isolated from seafoods and other marine sources were examined to determine the extent of interactions among these species. Spot-plates, cross-plates, and concurrent growth experiments at 7, 15, 20, and 30 C indicated that Lactobacillus species were capable of inhibiting other microorganisms. Lactobacillus species isolated from oysters and...
