This paper is a theoretical approach to solve
problems of horizontally curved beams Castiglione's
theorem is applied to solve for the fixed end bending
moments, maximum span moments and fixed end torsional
moments. To calculate the vertical deflection at the midspan
of the curved beam the moment-area method is used....
Two experiments were conducted to determine the
effects of riboflavin and pantothenic acid deficiency
on the production of clubbed down embryos in Single
Combed White Leghorn (SCWL) and Rhode Island Red (RIR)
hens.
In experiment 1, sixteen SCWL and eight RIR hens
were assigned to one of four diets calculated...
A transaminase (aminotransferase, EC 2. 6. 1) was extracted and
purified approximately 148-fold from shoot tips of pea (Pisum sativum
L. cv. Alaska) seedlings and some properties of the enzyme were
determined. The purification included acetone precipitation followed
by column chromatography on hydroxylapatite.
With a-ketoglutarate as co-substrate, the acetone precipitated...
