The activity of deoxyribose-phosphate aldolase was determined
in chick embryo brains, hearts and livers during the course of development.
Assays were made in the direction of synthesis of deoxyribose-5-phosphate. Low levels of activity in the brain and heart
remained constant throughout the course of development. Activity in
the liver expressed...

A crucial prerequisite to this research was proper identification of parasites, which can be difficult for species lacking...
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss concepts and strategies that provide a general framework which can be used to develop a microcomputer simulation model for educating senior public officials on the linkages between the macroeconomy and agriculture in a developing country. Tradition has it that agriculture is preeminently...
Wood plays a key role in modern electrical infrastructure; crossarms and power poles utilize the high strength to weight ratio, availability and low cost of wood to facilitate the access of power to millions of Americans. However, wood presents a variety of challenges as a material. In structural applications, one...
First introduced to the USA in 1958, Myxobolus cerebralis, the parasite responsible for whirling disease in salmonids, has since spread across the country causing severe declines in wild trout populations in the intermountain west. Recent development of risk assessment models used to assess the likelihood and consequences of exotic parasite...
The central purpose of this comparison was to determine the congruence
or difference between two teaching techniques, the programmed
multimedia approach and the traditional teaching method as used in presenting
drug information to eighth grade students in the Mankato,
Minnesota school district. The population sample consisted of 391
students enrolled...
