A fluorescence anisotropy spectrophotometer known by
the acronym GUS has been in use at Oregon State University
in the department of biochemistry and biophysics for
several years under the supervision of Dr. Irvin Isenberg.
Dr. Isenberg wished to improve the accuracy, versatility,
speed of data acquisition, and ease of operation...
Since the use of N, N-diethylaniline hydrochloride in the chlorination
of uric acid with phosphoryl chloride seems to promote the
reaction, a study of the effect of other salts of nitrogenous bases in
the chlorination of uric acid was undertaken. When N, N-diethylaniline
hydrochloride was used in lieu of the...
This study involved three separate experiments employing a total
of 29 horses and 4 rabbits. The purpose of these studies was to investigate
the use of various quantities and forms of ryegrass straw in horse
rations, and to determine the use of whole corn plant pellets as an alternative
roughage...
Examination of polished sections of manganese micronodules
from metalliferous sediments from the Bauer Deep reveals sequences
of ferromanganese deposition which are consistent for micronodules
from a single sediment sample and imply a common depositional
history for members of such assemblages. The relatively simple
'stratigraphy' of manganese micronodules, as compared to...
The relation of nutria (Myocastor coypus) feeding to total abundance, species composition, and seasonal use of the marsh flora on
the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge was studied during
1969 and 1970. Nutria numbers were estimated by livetrapping. Food
habits data were compiled from observations of feeding nutria. Phenology,...
