The objectives of this study were to 1) develop a relatively quick staining procedure that would detect incipient decay by color differentiation under fluorescence, 2) quantitatively assess the amount of decay present with the use of an image analyzer, and 3) re/ate loss in strength at various decay levels to...
The purpose of this study was to isolate and characterize any
segregants of the heterogenotes formed from sexduction by an F'
donor. Following the mating of F' W4520, carrying an F' gal₁⁺
gal₂⁺ factor, with W3350, a gal₁⁻ gal₂⁻ recipient, a number of
recombinant clones were picked and examined for...
Conservation conflicts may develop on restoration sites with multiple species recovery objectives. For example, on Pacific Northwest prairies, the co-planting of the diploid cytotype of the common native wildflower Castilleja hispida with the endangered wildflower C. levisecta has resulted in putative Castilleja hybrids on restoration sites, prompting fears that genetic...
The increasing knowledge of the significance of vitamin B₆ in
human metabolic processes has emphasized the importance of developing
reliable means of assessing nutritional status with respect to
this vitamin. One possible approach to this end is the measurement
of pyridoxal phosphate in blood or plasma, particularly since this
phosphorylated...
Twentieth century commercial whaling drastically reduced the abundance of great whale populations in the Southern Ocean. Exploitation began on the south Atlantic island of South Georgia, where catch records account for over 175,000 whales killed. Modern whaling within the Southern Ocean depleted populations rapidly, and by 1966, hunting blue whales...

Capacity of transverse 1950's vintage reinforced concrete deck girder bridge bent caps with large straight bar anchorages were investigated and evaluated. Eleven subassemblage column specimens were examined with different anchorage lengths, bar groupings, amount of transverse steel, and externally applied axial force. Test results showed an increase in anchorage capacity...
