Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), anti-carcinogens
present in the human diet, were tested for their in vivo
and in vitro effect on aflatoxin B₁. (AFB₁) metabolism, and DNA adduct
formation in the rainbow trout. Dietary BHA at either 0.3 or 0.03%
had no effect on the hepatic tumor incidence...
The asymptotic convergence acceleration method used in steady
state process simulation is examined in detail, and a criterion is
developed to decide when it should be applied. The criterion is related
to the rate of convergence of each variable and does not require any
prejudgment of its tolerance level by...
Expansive soils in Eugene, Oregon present a problem to
residents, consultants, contractors, and the city government. During
the years 1977 to 1979, the nature and extent of the problem was
identified, including an outline of the local occurrence of expansive

Currently little is known about the mechanisms and locations of
lymphocyte development in teleosts. In this study several aspects of the
underlying factors which govern B lymphocyte development in trout
were investigated which included: the isolation and characterization of
immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) genes, the recombination activating
genes 1 and...
