Normal adult rats absorbed and metabolized C¹⁴-labeled acetate
rapidly. The greatest percentage of the administered radioactivity
was recovered in the expired CO₂, however small amounts of radioactivity
were also found in the urine and feces. There were two rates
of C¹⁴O₂ elimination in normal adult rats. The small amount of...
This study traces the historical foundations of the concept of
constant ionic proportionality and the equation (Salinity [S%₀] = 1.805
Chlorinity [Cl%₀] + 0.030) which has been in general use in oceanography
since 1902 until 1969 and which is based upon this constancy,
The notion that the constituents present in...
The association of other materials with DNA has been studied
extensively in higher organisms and more recently in bacteria.
However, investigation of these complexes in bacteria have for the
most part been restricted to the study of a specific function this association
may serve, or a specific kind of association....
A relatively new development in the electric machines field has been the written-pole technology, of which the latest product is the large single-phase electric motor, the single phase Written-Pole Motor (WPM). The WPM is a synchronous, permanent-magnet single-phase motor having a weak rotor cage for start-up which in addition exhibits...
This paper studies the current counternarcotics methods and the electronics technology used by the United States and Colombian governments to combat narcoterrorism in the Andean region. The efficiency and efficacy of these methods with the use of electronics technology are analyzed to determine if they are
successful. The current counternarcotics...
The Brushless Doubly Fed Machine (BDFM) is receiving attention as a candidate for use in adjustable speed drives (ASDs) and variable speed generators (VSGs). With a large percentage of a drive or generator system's cost due to power electronics content, considerable research has been conducted to find drives in which...
Five vineyard floor management treatments were evaluated in a young vineyard in western Oregon to better understand the effects on vine growth and nutrition, soil moisture dynamics, and weed control during 2009 and 2010. Treatments included two mulched treatments where mowed alleyway residue was transferred in-row at rates of 1x...
Use of conventional induction machines (IM) in adjustable
speed drives (ASD) has increased in recent years. Electronic
power processing has facilitated this increased use. The IM
is an inexpensive and robust machine, but when used as part of
an ASD, the cost of the system increases due to the inclusion...
While the general link between adolescent maltreatment and adolescent substance abuse is well established, questions remain regarding factors that may explain variability in the strength of this link. This study examines whether the link between maltreatment and substance abuse varies across three categories of maltreatment: physical, sexual and emotional. It...
