Optimum growth of Marine Psychrophile 41 (MP-41) an obligately
psychrophilic marine vibrio, occurred at 18 C and pH 8.0
to pH 8.3.
Twenty eight-fold purification of gelatinase from this organism
was effected by ammonium sulfate fractionation and column chromatography
on Sephadex G-200 gel.
The effects of temperature, pH, pressure, and...
This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...
The relationship of temperature and salinity to protein synthesis
was determined for cells of Vibrio marinus, MP-1. Protein synthesis
was measured by the incorporation of radioactive proline into
hot trichloroacetic acid precipitable material. At all salinities protein
synthesis occurred at 15°C and 20°C but not at 25°C. The critical
temperature...
A greenhouse experiment was conducted in 1991 and in
1992 to determine the effect of soil water pressure on
potato (cv Russet Burbank) plant growth and infection by
Verticillium dahliae. Soil water pressures of -0.01,
-0.03, -0.08, or -0.15 MPa were combined factorially with
two inoculum concentrations, 0 or 10...
The Klamath River Basin (KRB) is one of the most contested basins of the Western U.S. with respect to water. Multiple stakeholders, including Tribes, farmers, state and federal agencies, and environmental advocates, are in frequent conflict over water rights and water use. Removal of the four hydroelectric dams is one...
Cheddar Cheese samples (good cheese, weak cheese, cheese made with pasteurized milk, cheese made with heat-shocked milk, cheese from production plant A, cheese from production plant B, cheese made with adjunct culture, and cheese made without adjunct culture), were evaluated during the ripening stage. Proteolysis was studied by a fractionation...
This phenomenological inquiry explored the experiences of library leaders and discipline faculty members engaging in a collaborative instructional change initiative focused on a process-based learning pedagogy and led by an academic library. The investigation’s purpose was providing insight and understanding concerning the: (a) library’s role in instructional leadership; (b) experience...
Building software systems that adapt to the changing environment is challenging. Developers cannot anticipate all the changes in advance, and even if they could, the effort required to handle such situations is too onerous for practical purposes. Self Adaptive Software (SAS) adapts itself as per changing environment. The area of...
The graduate student population has been traditionally overlooked within higher education. However, within recent decades, much research has been devoted to addressing the multiple facets of the graduate student experience, including that of the graduate teaching assistant (GTA) position. This thesis seeks to explore in depth the experiences of GTAs...
