A qualitative evaluation was made of the adherence between
borosilicate glass and the ceramics, steatite and alumina. Three
basic adherence studies were performed.
(1) A comparison between the x-ray diffraction patterns of
the ceramic and the fused glass-ceramic powder mixture was made
to determine if any new compounds were formed...
Thirty-six gilts were used in an experiment of 2³ factorial
design. The experiment consisted of two breeds (Yorkshire-
Berkshire and Yorkshire), two feeding regimens (pre-breeding and
post-breeding) and two levels of dichlorvos (2, 2-dichlorovinyl
dimethyl phosphate, 0 and 800 mg. per gilt per day). Pre-breeding
treatment consisted of feeding dichlorvos...
This study examined the relationship of interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and
bending strength (MOR) of several different wood-plastic composites (WPC's).
Plastics utilized were high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP).
Pine and oak were used as the wood species. Compatibilizers used included maleicanhydride
polyethylene (MAPE), polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (PMDI),
KymeneTM,...
Fishery researchers have attempted to preserve viable fish sperm for extended periods of time. Only limited success has been achieved with storage of spermatozoa from salmonids. The principal accomplishments of this investigation during the fiscal year 1966-1967 were the development of standard methods for the collection
and evaluation of fish...
