A frozen concentrate (>10⁹ cfu/ml) of a human strain of Lactobacillus
lactis (strain MLC) was fed to swine. Bottle feeding resulted
in reduced fecal coliform counts and incidence of scouring in nursing
pigs. In one group of pigs treated 54 days, the Lactobacillus to coliform
ratio was 1280:1; in the...
Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this investigation was to measure some of the effects of an elementary science program, the Science Curriculum Improvement Study (SCIS) on science achievement of certain sixth grade students. Important to the problem was how the SCIS students compared with students exposed to a...
A steady gas convection model of heat transfer to a horizontal
cylinder immersed in a gas fluidized bed is presented. Contributions due to flow within
attached bubbles as well as the interstitial voids are
included. The interstitial flow is approximated as flow within a series
of double cusped channels and...
A detail study of a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) in a Pressurized
Water Reactor was conducted in order to estimate the consequences
of the accident using the computer simulation code EMERALD.
An effort was undertaken to modify the EMERALD code and to make
it operable on the OSU CYBER...
Realistic (ideally photorealistic) real-time rendering has remained an elusive goal in computer graphics. While photorealistic rendering has certainly been achieved at the expense of tremendous computational resources and corresponding rendering times; real-time rendering typically must accept a great number of compromises to achieve adequate performance, such as aliasing artifacts, the...
Two new concepts have been explored in solving the neutron
diffusion equation in one and two dimensions. At the present time,
the diffusion equation is solved using source iterations. These
iterations are performed in a mathematical form which has a great
deal of physical significance. Specifically, the neutron production
term...
The purpose of the present study was to describe the process of
premarital relationship dissolution. This description entailed
typologizing relationships on the basis of their trajectories to
involvement and eventual dissolution. One hundred individuals who had
been involved in a serious relationship that had broken up within the
past 12...
To utilize energy resources as efficiently as possible has
become a necessity today. The purpose of this study is to see
how this can be done by extending burnup in a light water reactor.
Specifically, an in-out refueling scheme might extract the maximum
energy from nuclear fuel during its redidence...
