Food habits and biology of five species of Pleocoma larvae were
studied at a dozen forested sites in western Oregon between May 1960
and December 1961.
First instar Pleocoma hatch in late summer and moult to second
instars in early fall. Second and subsequent instars moult annually
between mid-summer and...
Some enzymes of the citric acid cycle and glycolytic pathway
in cell-free extracts of Vibrio marinus MP-1 were compared for
thermal lability. After one hour of moderate temperature exposure,
enzymes of both pathways rapidly lost catalytic activity. For all
but one enzyme, 50 percent remaining activity occurred near an
averaged...
Acid and alkaline phosphatase was localized histochemically in the intestinal epithelium and excretory duct respectively in fresh
frozen sections of Fasciola hepatica. Polyphenol oxidase was
localized in the vitellaria, vitelline ducts and egg-shells. The distribution
and nature of esterases was examined histochemically. Acetyl-cholinesterase
was observed in the tegument, neural ganglia,...

An investigation of the effects of exogenous gonadotropic
treatments on fertility of various genetic groups of ewe lambs were
run over a six-year period. Since hormonal treatments varied and
the experimental animals were different from one breeding season to
the next, each year comprised a separate study. Hormone treatment
included...

The present thesis is about the electric power distribution system
for the city of Mecca, in Saudi Arabia. The distribution system
of Mecca started suddenly, grew haphazardly and developed quickly
with a load factor as high as 38%. Lack of planning, records and
training plus insufficient experience of management evolved...
