For several years researchers have investigated how teachers’ beliefs
impact a classroom. Equally important to consider when striving to improve
education are the beliefs held by the students. College Algebra is an important
class for many collegiate students, and gaining an insight into their beliefs about
mathematics and desires for...
The effect of HTST pressure blanching processing parameters, as
compared to conventional steam blanching, on enzyme activity,
moisture, drip loss, shear force, sensory attributes and consumer
acceptability of frozen sweet corn were determined. Complete
inactivation of catalase and peroxidase required HTST treatments of
60 psi and 75 psi, respectively. No...
Dental disease is a very prevalent and costly disease in which the symptoms, not the disease, are currently being treated. The disease is caused by pathogenic oral bacteria, many of which are a part of the Mutans Streptococci. The objective of this thesis was to find a natural substance that...
Spectrometric detection systems for gas chromatography
(GC) based on gas phase ultraviolet absorbance
and fluorescence measurements have been developed and
evaluated in this research. Polynuclear aromatic compounds
(PNAs) are selectively detected by these systems.
Limits of detection for PNAs range from 4 ng to 90 ng
for absorbance determinations, and...
This study was undertaken to compile a comprehensive
review of the literature and to gain a better understanding
of the host-parasite relationship in corynebacterial kidney
disease of salmonid fishes. An indirect fluorescent antibody
technique was developed which allowed differentiation
of intra- and extracellular bacteria. This technique was
used in combination...
Building upon Deci and Ryan's (1985, 1991) self-determination theory as well as
previous empirical work on motivation, the present study was designed to develop a
multifaceted 31-item Exercise Motivation Scale (EMS). A series of pilot studies were
first conducted in order to generate the 31 scale items. The EMS was...
Date of coverage: 1965-1972. Sample numbers, weights of ashed tested samples, dates samples went into detector. End of book has Atomic absorption record for Zn.
