The collagen content and composition of collagens in
different age classes of shrimp were determined. Their
physical and chemical characteristics were investigated.
The interrelationship of shrimp size and muscle collagen
content to raw and cooked meat yield was established.
Total collagen content for three lots of round shrimp
with weights...
It is the purpose of this paper to explore the integration of fire management into the land planning process. Through an understanding of fire management and its effects on other forest activities, a framework may be developed for meeting both the objectives of legislation in forest management and improvement in...
Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of
certain plant regulatory chemicals on seed production of
alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Two plant regulators, SADH
(succinic acid 2,2-dimethylhydrazide) and TIBA (2,3,5-
triiodobenzoic acid), received particular attention.
Replicated field tests of the plant regulators were
carried out on the cultivar 'Talent' in...
To obtain data on the decomposition of the forest floor, a battery operated electrolytic respirometer was developed making it possible to measure CO₂ evolution from field moist forest floor samples in situ independent of root respiration. Banks of four respirometers powered by two 12-volt batteries were installed in three old...
The problem of this study was to determine whether graduate students
in education (the experimentals) participating in a counseling
practicum would demonstrate a change in self-actualization which would
be significantly different when compared with other graduate students
in education (the comparisons) who were not participating in the above
program. The...
The impacts of modern limited-access highways on the spatial distribution of non-agricultural development, and their influence in the shaping of occupancy patterns, are far-reaching and should be of eminent concern to all Americans. The location of the Interstate routes, with 80 percent of their 41,000 miles crossing rural localities, renders...
The Alpine fault is the Pacific-Australian plate boundary in the South Island of New Zealand. This study analyzes 195 earthquakes recorded during the 6 month duration of the Southern Alps Passive Seismic Experiment (SAPSE) in 1995/1996 and two M₁. 5.0 earthquakes and aftershocks in 1997, which occurred close to the...
This study investigated the spatial distribution of juvenile North Pacific albacore (Thunnus alalunga) in relation to local environmental variability
[i.e. sea surface temperature (SST)], and two large-scale indices of climate variability, [the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and theMultivariate
El Nino/Southern Oscillation Index (MEI)]. Changes in local and climate variables were...
