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...
An intensive chemical investigation, that includes the
determinations of salinity, oxygen, nutrients, pH, alkalinity, and
total carbon dioxide of the Columbia River plume off the Oregon
coast in July 1967 shows the following unique features:
1. Along the axis of the river plume both the salinity minimum and
temperature maximum...
Studies were initially conducted to determine the action of
intravenous serotonin on perfused segments of human umbilical
cords in vitro. Intravenous serotonin, via bolus injection or
continuous infusion, was found to elevate venous perfusion pressure,
while intra-arterial serotonin failed to alter venous pressure.
Norepinephrine, administered to the venous perfusate, was...
Concern over the apparent disparity between the farm use value
and current market value of property in agricultural areas continues
to remain a source of concern in many areas. This concern has
intensified in recent years, particularly in those agricultural areas
situated near urban centers and recreational areas.
The main...
Four agronomically and genetically diverse spring
barleys were used in a crossing program to study the
inheritance of lysine in barley and to determine its
possible association with certain agronomic and morphological
characters. The cultivar Hiproly was used as the
source of high protein and lysine. Characters measured
included plant...
An experiment was conducted to determine if selection from
standardized litters would be effective in separating lines of mice
selected for increased and decreased litter weight at 14 days of age,
and if response to selection on this maternally influenced trait could
be accurately predicted.
Data were collected on litter...
Pineal acetylserotonin methyltransferase (ASMT) activities
in rainbow trout were reported on by Hafeez and Quay (1971). The validity of certain
assay parameters used by these researchers
were investigated. With the exception of incubation temperature,
all parameters studied proved to be quite valid. Temperature
studies indicated a low stability for trout...
Purpose of the Study
The study was an examination of the effect of utilizing the
DECA Merit Awards Program (MAP) materials on high school
distributive education student interest levels toward careers in
marketing. It compared three groups of high school distributive
education students who used MAP with three groups who...
The utero-ovarian vasculature of domestic animals has been a
popular research subject, especially concerning the roles of the uteroovarian
artery and vein in the unilateral luteolytic phenomenon
demonstrated in these animals. No reports in the literature, however,
have been found regarding the smooth muscle physiology of these vessels.
The present...
