The rate of the C¹⁴0₂ release from glucose, specifically labeled
with C¹⁴ at 1, 2, 3+4, and positions, was used to study the relative
participation of pathways of glucose catabolism in red beet slices.
Evidence was obtained which indicated that in mature red beets glucose
was catabolized mainly via glycolysis-tricarboxylic...
Flat, laminar, premixed hydrocarbon-air flames were stabilized
on a porous-plate burner. In addition to temperature profiles,
concentration profiles were measured for methane, ethane, ethylene,
propane, acetylene, propylene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and
oxides of nitrogen. Dead space thickness, luminous flame zone
thickness and hydrocarbon disappearance point responses were also
monitored....
The lack of availability of a single, complete paper on the
analysis of a digital data acquisition system for in situ oceanographic
measurements brought about the present work. In order to compile
an accurate technical paper on such a complex system, it was necessary
to design, construct, and calibrate a...
The development of new electronic devices and design procedures
applicable to ternary switching circuits suggests that it might be desirable
to use ternary arithmetic in direct digital control systems.
The advantages of decimal, binary, and ternary arithmetic in digital
computers are discussed and a set of rules for signed -digit...
Humus is one of the important factors controlling the soil
formation process. The nutrients released from it during the decomposition
process also affect the growth and reproduction of the
forest. The type of humus formed is influenced by the nature of the
forest litter and the environment in which it...
Wheat varieties of differential tolerance to Al were used in a
series of nutrient solution experiments to study the inhibitory effects
of Al on growth and nutrient uptake. The pH and the Al and P concentrations
were rigorously maintained to prevent the confounding
effects of Al and P precipitation and...
Five breeds of sheep (Columbia, Targhee, Rambouillet, Lincoln,
and Suffolk) were found to possess two hemoglobin types (Hb. A
and Hb. B) when their hemoglobins were examined by disc gel electrophoresis.
The hemoglobin alleles proved to be co-dominant.
Three of the breeds (Columbia, Targhee, and Rambouillet)
were maintained at altitudes...
