For many years, engine overhearing has been the major cause for vehicle breakdowns and engine malfunctions for most teams in Endurance events at Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) Series competitions. Additionally, with a growing importance of aerodynamics to the overall success of the Global Formula Racing at these events,...
The major nutrient requirements of the blue-green alga Anabaena
spiroides Klebahn were investigated. It was hoped that the results would allow the development of a balanced culture medium in
which the alga would exhibit rapid growth and retain typical morphological characteristics.
The alga was isolated from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon,...
Weight-specific oxygen consumption of intact bluegill sunfish
was estimated in relation to body weight and temperature by the
sealed jar method. The relationship between body weight and weight-specific oxygen consumption was represented by the equation: Y = aX[superscript b]⁻¹ in which Y is the weight-specific oxygen consumption, expressed
as cc/kg/hr,...
The radiorespirometric method was used to study the catabolism
of glucose in intermolt crayfish. Rapid and extensive conversion
of C-3(4) of glucose to C¹⁴O₂ indicated that a significant
portion of the administered glucose was routed into the glycolysis-
Krebs cycle sequence. High yields of C-6 of glucose in the respiratory...
Bluegill sunfish, Lepomia macrochirus, and cutthroat trout,
Salmo clarki, were exposed to a rapidly declining oxygen tension
for a period of time sufficient to just cause loss of equilibrium in
the fish. During recovery from the stress, measurements of
oxygen uptake, blood lactic acid, blood glucose, liver glycogen,
muscle glycogen,...
