The biochemical composition of ten species of estuarine phytoplankton
was determined. Studies were made of their growth in
various culture media and of their relative value as food for oyster
larvae. Nine of the species were isolated from Yaquina Bay, Oregon.
An attempt was made to select species which commonly...
Engineering education research has led to a greater understanding of the gap in preparedness of students for the engineering industry. Multiple studies comparing the workplace and academic contexts and the participants in those contexts (i.e., students, faculty, and engineering practitioners) have emphasized similarities and differences between the two contexts by...
In this five-week feeding study male New Zealand rabbits were
fed diets containing cyclopropene fatty acids (CPFA), diets containing
cholesterol, and diets with both CPFA and cholesterol added to test
the effect of CPFA on cholesterol metabolism and atherosclerosis
induction. When CPFA-fed animals were compared with control
animals, they tended...
Developing steelhead trout eggs and sac fry were examined for
wet, dry and lipid weights and for fatty acid composition over the
period from fertilization until the disappearance of the yolk sac, 69
days after fertilization. The yolk sac and embryo or fry were
separated shortly before hatching, and the...
