Existing methods for the estimation of relative participation of
glucose catabolic pathways make use of yield data of respiratory
¹⁴CO₂ or intermediary ¹⁴C products derived from glucose substrates
specifically labeled with ¹⁴C. Cumulative yields of respiratory
¹⁴CO₂ observed at the end of time course of complete substrate
utilization are analyzed...
An attempt has been made to elucidate the biosynthetic precursor
of ethylene in the mold P. digitatum. By application of basic
radiotracer methodology and the utilization of several specifically
labeled radiochemical substrates, it has been possible to demonstrate
that the internal carbon atoms of C-4 dicarboxylic acids such
as succinate,...
The study investigates relations among Norwegian-American
ethnicity, ownership of ethnic articles, and selected other factors.
Articles include clothing, textiles, and certain household objects.
Hypotheses were drawn predicting relations between ethnic
article ownership and ethnicity as expressed by ethnic practices and
attitudes, and between ethnic article ownership and generation in
America...
This thesis reports a portion of a general ecological study of
a stream under conditions of controlled flow and low levels of organic
enrichment. It is concerned with the effects of experimental variations
of light intensity and concentration of soluble organic enrichment
imposed on seasonal variations of temperature and total...
Interannual to decadal variations in Earth global temperature estimates have often been identified with El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. However, we show that variability on time scales of 2-15 years in mean annual global land surface temperature anomalies T-avg are more closely correlated with variability in sea surface temperatures...
The purpose of this study was to determine the
effect of immediate prior meditation (transcendental
meditation) and relaxation upon the pattern of physiological
response and performance of a fine motor and
gross motor task. A second purpose of this study was
to determine whether the long term regular practice of...
The purpose of this study was to assist the development of an
improved industrial arts curriculum and laboratory facilities that
reflect the industrial technology. The project attempted to
ascertain which of the process operations of the technology may
become curricular components in the curriculum. In addition, it
attempted to identify...
Samarium-neodymium data for authigenic ferromanganese
sediments from the oceans indicate that the Atlantic, Pacific, and
Indian Oceans each have a distinct range in Nd isotopic composition,
all of which are far less than ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd ratios of source rocks with
oceanic affinities. Direct measurements of the Nd isotopic composition
of seawater...
