Beginning with the discovery of x-rays by Wilhelm
Konrad Roentgen in 1895, man has had the capacity to
greatly increase radiation levels of his environment,
especially with the advent of nuclear weapons in recent
years. Radioisotopes are finding progressively wider
use in medicine, research, power production, etc., with
increased hazards...
The geopotential anomalies and the average meridional geostrophic
flow off Newport, Oregon, were computed from the data taken
during twenty-one hydrographic cruises.
The annual average of geopotential anomaly was 1.31 dynamic
meters with a seasonal variation of the order of 14 dynamic centimeters.
Highest values of geopotential anomaly occurred in...
Aflatoxins B₁, Q₁ and aflatoxicol, R [subscript o] F, but not B₂ were activated in the presence of NADPH by the 105,000 x g pellet from rainbow
trout (Salmo gairdneri), Mt. Shasta strain, liver to products lethal to
Bacillus subtilis GSY 1057 (metB4, hisAl, uvr-1). Electron microscopy
confirmed the microsomal...
The cyclopropene fatty acids, sterculic and malvalic, occur
naturally in a major food lipid, cottonseed oil, and have been implicated
in several physiological disorders. Rainbow trout in this
study were fed semipurified diets containing 200 or 300 ppm methyl
sterculate, and the effects on hepatic lipid and glycogen levels,
lipid...
The Jetson Artificial Intelligence Tool chain (JAI-TC) is a set of packages, APIs and libraries for Artificial Intelligence applications to be deployed on the NVidia SOC, Jetson TX2. JAI-TC automates the installation of these items allowing for a wider set of users to leverage these technologies. Prior to this, the...
Horticultural therapy is the use of plants and plant-related activities as an adjunct therapy assisting medical, psychological and other rehabilitative therapies in the improvement of physical and mental health. Although long associated with having a beneficial effect upon people characterized as mentally ill, mentally deficient, socially maladapted and physically disabled,...
An evaluation of the service time of an activated carbon adsorption
column and the organic carbon removal efficiency treating activated
sludge process effluent was completed at aerator detention
times of three, five, and ten hours. Parameters used for evaluation
of treatment were biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen
demand, total organic...
