Software engineers often need help with discovering and learning how to use APIs. For example, software engineers who are starting to learn Java, and they want to implement a certain feature in a program, they might want to reuse existing APIs in order to save time versus rewriting it themselves...
This project was designed to test the biological effects of three
levels of dietary protein (12.7, 16.3 and 19.3% CP on a dry matter
basis) on high producing Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. Forty five
second lactation or older cows that showed the potential to produce
over 31.75 kg (70 lbs) per...
Although science is widely accepted as a fundamental source of information underlying decisions about forest management and conservation, considerably less attention has been paid to the inevitable role that normative values and beliefs play in such decisions. This thesis highlights the normative dimensions of "ecological forestry," a strategy of forest...
The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), was compared to dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC) and combinations of three environmental PAH mixtures (coal tar, diesel particulate and cigarette smoke condensate) using a two stage, FVB/N mouse skin tumor model. DBC (4 nmol) was most potent, reaching 100% tumor incidence with a shorter latency...
The seasonal concentration, turnover and mode of accumulation
of ³²P by the juvenile starry flounder in Alder Slough, a small eco-system in the Columbia River Estuary, was examined during 1969 and
1970.
Levels of ³²P and concentrations of total P were measured to
permit computation of specific activities (nCi³²P/g total...
Background: The numbers of Southeast Asian women in higher education, whether within administration, teaching faculty, or counseling and student services are scarce. The specific needs of minority women go largely unnoticed and remain unaddressed and may contribute to the low numbers of minority women in higher education leadership.
Purpose: The...
An evaluation was made on the nutritive value of tropical forages
and by-product feeds for rabbit production. Digestibility of nutrient
fractions, feed preferences, growth, combination of forages, supplementation
of micro and macro nutrients and/or effects of drying temperature
on the quality of four groups of forages, namely woody legumes
(WL),...
This thesis describes the development of a new enantioselective synthetic method employing chiral cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-based organometallic catalysts. The significance of this new method to organic synthesis is illustrated with preparation of enantioenriched products that are transformed to important pharmaceutical agents. Chapter 1 provides a brief historical overview of asymmetric catalysis, especially...
Recent mandates in the United States require federal agencies to incorporate climate change science into land management planning efforts. These mandates target possible adaptation and mitigation strategies. However, the degree to which climate change is actively being considered in agency planning and management decisions is largely unknown. We explored the...
The Diels-Alder reaction represents a promising tool for use in
asymmetric synthesis. The reaction involves a rigid transition state
that facilitates the formation of one diastereomeric transition state
and is reversible. This satisfies two necessary criteria for
asymmetric synthesis.
The Diels-Alder reactions of 1,l-dialkylspiro[2.4]-4,6- heptadienes
with maleic anhydride and p-benzoquinone...
