Four to six one-gram specimens separated by a distance of
several inches were obtained from each of 23 large chondritic
meteorites (approximately 1 kg each) representing the olivine bronzite
(H5), olivine hypersthene (L6) and enstatite (E5) classifications.
Each specimen was analyzed for Na and Mn via instrumental neutron
activation analysis...
The abundance of copper was determined in four to six one-gram
specimens separated by a distance of several inches from each
of 23 large chondritic fragments (greater than 1 kg) via instrumental
neutron activation analysis and counting of the annihilation N-rays of
⁶⁴Cu. It is believed that an accuracy of...
The bioavailability of vitamin B₆ in four selected foods
(bananas, filberts, soybeans and beef) was determined in five men,
aged 22 to 25 years, who were saturated with pyridoxine. The study
consisted of a five-day adjustment period followed by a 28-day experimental
period. All subjects consumed a constant diet containing...
Prerigor pressurization of bovine semimembranosus muscle at 103.5
MNm⁻² (15,000 psi) for two min at 35°C significantly decreased
(P<0.01) muscle pH, and significantly (P<0.01) increased the rate of
glycogen degradation during the first 4 hr postmortem.
Glycogen levels of pressurized muscle were significantly
(P<0.01) lower than those of the control...
Few studies have examined the acute effects of
resistive-type exercise on lipid-lipoprotein profiles. This
study examined the acute effects of a single session of
circuit weight training (CWT) on plasma lipid-lipoprotein
profiles: triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high
density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density
lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and the ratio...
Probability density functions (normal, lognormal, and three-parameter Weibull) were used to characterize strength data for three different types of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints (web at the bottom chord, tension splice, and heel). Modulus of elasticity (MOE) of the lumber used to fabricate the joints was also characterized. A probability-plot technique,...
Multiparadigm languages are languages that are designed to support more than one style of programming. Leda is a strongly-typed multiparadigm programming language that supports imperative, functional, object-oriented, and logic programming. The constraint programming paradigm is a declarative style of programming where the programmer is able to state relationships among some...
