In the present study, the textural changes induced in Chinese
waterchestnuts by physical and chemical means were of prime concern.
After being subjected to chemical and heat treatments, the
corms were analyzed to relate the chemical changes with the physical
changes in the corms.
Chinese waterchestnuts were peeled, filled in...
This thesis discusses the design of an approximate matched
filter capable of detecting a 30 MHz, 0.45 microsecond pulsed carrier
in white noise. The theoretical background, which the matched filter
is based upon, is presented. The matched filter described herein is
composed of an open-end lumped-parameter delay line and a...
This paper is a classification of 181 problems, each of which involves the evaluation or application of determinants. The problems are those which have appeared in the "Problems and Solutions" sections of the American Mathematical Monthly, Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung Jahresbricht, Mathematics Magazine, and School Science and Mathematics. The problems are classified,...
It has been reported that cyanide inactivates the succinate dehydrogenase activity of HMP toward cytochrome c, oxygen, methylene blue and DCIP. In the present study, it was found that cyanide
also solubilizes the SDH from HMP, this is reflected by the extent
of solubilization of acid nonextractable flavin in the...
The maximum principle developed by the Russian mathematician,
L.S. Pontryagin is considered to be one of the most significant
contributions to the recent advances in mathematical optimization
techniques.
Unfortunately, most of the published literature on the application
of the maximum principle is in the field of control system design,
and...
The effect of source of dietary carboyhydrate upon the concentration
and distribution of phospholipids in the fractions of human
blood was studied. Three healthy women received diets which contained
16% of the calories as protein, 40% as fat, and 44% as carbohydrate.
During the four dietary periods of six days...
The effects of an 11-week jogging program on the plasma lipid
fractions and clotting time of 19 late adolescent males (18 to 19
years) were investigated. Total lipids, triglycerides, total and free
cholesterol, phospholipids, non-esterified fatty acids, and clotting
time of plasma were determined. Statistical analysis was applied
to the...
