The results of a preliminary experiment suggested that a complexed
form of cobalt was more efficacious in promoting growth of a
marine phytoplankton than ionic cobalt. The phytoplankton used in this
experiment was Coccolithus huxleyi, a vitamin B₁₂ producer, and the
cobalt complex was cobalt (II)- ethylenediaminetetracetic acid [Co(II)-
EDTA]....
Recent measurements (21 September - 15 October 1992) of methane and water vapor by the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) are compared with model results for the same season from a troposphere-middle atmosphere version of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR )Community Climate...
Air and trace gases are exchanged between the stratosphere and the troposphere on a variety of scales; but general circulation models (GCMs) are unable to represent the smaller scales. It would be useful to see how a GCM represents stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE), both to identify possible model deficiencies which would...
A high resolution stratospheric version of the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM2) with an annual cycle was used to simulate the global transport and dispersion of the Pinatuboa aerosol cloud. A passive tracer was injected into the model stratosphere over the Philippines Islands on model day June15, and the transport...
A study was conducted to investigate if morphometric facial measurements could be utilized to differentiate five categorical performance types of Quarter Horses. The five categories being Western, Halter, English, Reining, and Cutting. The measurements were collected from 323 registered Quarter Horses representing animals who ranged in age from one year...
The brine shrimp, Artemia, was used as an experimental
organism to study the effects of ⁶⁰Co gamma irradiation on the reproductive
performance of an animal population. The total reproductive
ability of the brine shrimp was fractionated into various components
and the effects of irradiation on each of these components
was...
Community colleges are changing to meet the needs and demands of the 21st century and these changes are also a driving force behind the shifts that are happening to the essential functions of the presidents who lead the community colleges. In order to navigate the complex systems and lead colleges...
Forty-five subjects were given 30 trials of isometric elbow flexion
and 30 trials of elbow extension. Each trial consisted of maximum
exertion followed by a short rest in 10 second cycles. Subjects were
ranked on the basis of the addition of the median flexion and extension
scores and were divided...
