The existence of a distinct coastal zone is confirmed in Lake Tahoe (California-Nevada) by horizontal transects measuring chlorophyll and temperature simultaneously. Creation of the coastal region is influenced by bottom topography, the nature of the surface wind stress, and the difference between physical processes occurring within a Rossby radius of...
Three studies were conducted to determine the effects of
cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA) on the membrane components of livers
of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). In the first study, ¹⁴C-sterculic
acid was administered by intraperitoneal injection into rainbow trout
and the trout maintained for 72 hours. The labelled sterculic acid
was...
This report examines environmental factors influencing the die-off and transport of fecal coliform bacteria present in wastes applied to the land surface. These factors are examined specifically for dairy waste management systems and the net effect each system has on runoff water quality. A model is developed that considers the...
An extensive literature review into the causes and
controls of diarrhea was followed by three weanling rabbit
performance trials to examine the influence of dietary
modifications on diarrhea in the rabbit.
In the first set of experiments, the ion exchangers
clinoptilolite (0, 1.5 and 3.0%) and sodium bentonite (0 and...
