We investigated the relationship between calcium and protein intake and bone loss over a one-year period in 99 early postmenopausal women (1-36 months) aged 51.3 ± 0.31 years. Bone mineral density (g/cm²) of the left hip (total hip, femoral neck, greater trochanter) and lumbar spine (L1-L4) as well as body...
Studies towards the total synthesis of (+)-Phomactin A (1), D (6), and G (9), fungal metabolites with unique molecular architecture and pronounced biological activity, are described. These studies resulted in the synthesis of advanced intermediates 354 and 356, which contain all of the carbon atoms of 1, 6 and 9....
Exogenous and indigenous inclusions are defined and described
with respect to their origins and effects in cast steel. Means of
minimizing exogenous inclusions thru prevention of their formation
as well as entrapment in the mold filling system are discussed. Indigenous
inclusions arise from elements normally present in steel,
principally oxygen,...
The momentum transfer characteristics of liquid-liquid dispersions
were studied under conditions of turbulent flow in a cirular
conduit. Experiments were conducted to obtain drop size, friction
factors and velocity profiles for three organic phases dispersed in
water.
The test sections consisted of straight copper tubes 1-inch OD
and 0.830-inch ID....
We investigated the effects of climate on the growth of red alder across a broad latitudinal gradient and over a wide range of growing conditions in the Pacific Northwest of North America (PNW). Data for this study came from a study established in 1988 that includes 31 research installations located...
The purpose of this research was to develop methods for using geographic information system (GIS) analysis and unsupervised classification of Global Vegetation Index (GVI) images to improve carbon budget estimates of the former Soviet Union (FSU). A GIS was used to locate the geographic distribution and estimate the area of...
