Raw product value of vegetables for processing in the
Northwest used to be established by a competitive market
involving proprietary processors and growers. Due to the
relocation of proprietary processors to the Midwest, this
competitive market has eroded forcing cooperative processors
to seek other means to set raw product values....
This study was conducted to investigate the distribution
of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and selenium in
semen of the boar, bull, ram and stallion, and in the reproductive
tissues of the boar, bull and ram. The effect
of repeated noncryoprotective freeze-thawing on GSH-Px
activity was also studied. Both hydrogen peroxide (H₂0₂)...
Improvements have been made to the spatial coherence method for automatically determining cloud-free ocean radiances in satellite imagery by incorporating the spectral signatures of reflecting surfaces. The spatial coherence method relies on the fact that small-scale cloud-free regions typically exhibit uniform emission and uniform reflection. While small-scale overcast regions typically...
A procedural manual for sampling and analyzing sanitary landfill
leachate was designed to guide sanitarians and other public health
officials in monitoring mineral and organic material drainage from
landfill sources. The manual was constructed to allow flexibility of
conducting analytical tests in a field or laboratory environment.
Step-by-step procedures for...
In his works, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Ulysses
(1922), James Joyce demonstrates what he perceives to be the paralyzing effects of
those institutionalized religions that sit at the center of cultures. Drawing on Michel
Foucault's analysis of institutional dressage as well as his...
My thesis examines a total of fourteen characters from The Portrait of a Lady and The Turn of the Screw. Primarily, I have discovered an overwhelming pattern in these two works by Henry James; when characters make direct entrances--that is when they are not described or discussed in absentia by...
The classic treatment of diffusion by Einstein and by Chandrasekhar assumed
conservative boundary conditions; mobile species were neither created nor destroyed
on the sample surface. It is normal to assume that vacancies and host interstitials are
created and annihilated on incoherent interfaces or free surfaces; i.e., these are
assumed to...
