GEMS (Graphical Ethernet Monitoring System) is an
enhancement to the SU-PC/IP NETWATCH program, for the
graphical display and recording of computer network packets.
SU-PC/IP (Stanford University Personal Computer/Internet
Protocol) NETWATCH displays one line of information per
packet, including the packet type, IP addresses, packet
size, and protocol type, etc. This...
This study was a systematic investigation of four Chinese textile
motifs-- the fret, swastika, Shou and Hsi. The purpose of this study
was to analyze the variations in these motifs and their uses on textiles.
The literature concerned the origin, meaning, variation and use of
these four motifs and the...
The proteolytic enzymes in the visceral organs of albacore tuna
fish (Thunnus alalunga) were studied, initially as an extract of the
whole viscera, then as extracts of the individual organs. Preliminary
studies indicated three pH optima of activity in the whole viscera
extracts pH 1.7, 3.1-3.5 and 9.5. Analysis of...
Two methods for the estimation of non-esterified fatty acids in
plasma were evaluated. An attempt was made to obtain a reliable
micro-technique to estimate these acids in blood fractions.
The titrimetric method of Trout et al. was satisfactory in the
analyses of pure fatty acids and fatty acids added to...
Understanding the mechanism of resistance, relative fitness and competitiveness of herbicide resistant biotypes is important to predict population dynamics and to establish resistance management strategies. This study was conducted to determine the level of resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors and the mechanism of resistance of ALS-inhibitor resistant downy brome...
The effect of different oxygen atmospheres on growth, energy
charge and enterotoxin production of Staphylococcus aureus was
investigated. Three atmospheres, air, 5% oxygen in nitrogen and
20% oxygen in nitrogen, were tested on three strains producing
enterotoxins A, B and C. Colony forming units (CFU), dry weight,
dissolved oxygen, pH,...
Based on the premise that interfirm comparison can be an effective
productivity improvement tool, productivity interfirm comparison (PIC)
methods are examined in this research. The first part is an extensive
literature review regarding the conventional interfirm comparison (IFC)
scheme accepted widely in many countries outside the United States.
Then, the...
Scientific inquiry in K-12 classrooms tends to be procedural, lacking opportunities for students to gain understanding of how scientific knowledge is constructed through reflection, debate, and argument. Limited opportunity to develop scientific argumentation skills prevents students from practicing the scientific thinking needed to understand the nature of scientific knowledge and...
