Litter productivity at first and second parity by gilts mated at different weights at first or second estrus

Creator:: Tachasirinugune, Sommai
Abstract:: Purebred Yorkshire gilts with weights ranging from 70 to 105 kilograms were moved from a total-confinement rearing unit to a total-confinement brood stock unit where approximately ten gilts per pen were mixed to provide new penmates. Each gilt was thus exposed to an unfamiliar environment and to foreign penmates along...

Isolation and partial characterization of temperature sensitive division mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Creator:: Wolff, Darold Melvin, 1940-
Abstract:: The primary objective of this study was to develop methods for the selection of temperature sensitive division (TSD) mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Such methods were developed and four temperature sensitive (TS) mutants were isolated and partially characterized. Wild type (WT) cells of the plus mating type were synchronized by a...

An analysis of the response to selection for high and low rate of gain in the mouse, Mus musculus

Creator:: Burrill, Melinda Jane
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to examine the responses to selection for high and low rate of gain in the mouse under a system whereby inbreeding was maximized. Rate of gain was measured by an index designed to include gains in both the pre- and postweaning periods with the gains in...

Effects of selenium and glutathione peroxidase on the biosynthesis of prostaglandin E₂ and F₂α by the ram vesicular gland

Creator:: Abdelgadir, Salaheldin Eltigani
Abstract:: This study was conducted to investigate the involvement of selenium and glutathione peroxidase in prostaglandin biosynthesis by the ram vesicular gland. Vesicular glands were collected from healthy intact rams covering a wide range of selenium nutrition and were analyzed for selenium concentrations, glutathione peroxidase activities and levels of prostaglandin E₂...

Interaction of selenium with cadmium and mercury in semen and reproductive tissues: in vivo and in vitro studies

Creator:: Alabi, Nathaniel Sigismund
Abstract:: Studies were conducted to investigate the metabolism of selenium (Se) , and the influences of Se on the metabolism of cadmium (Cd) and inorganic mercury (Hg) in rats, and in ram semen in vitro. Se-deficient (-Se) or Se-adequate (+Se) rats were injected intraperitoneally with either ¹⁰⁹CdCl₂ (5 μCi/rat) or ²⁰³HgN0₃...

An Exploration of Used Fuel Sharing in Multi-Reactor Power Plants

Creator:: Lilley, Benjamin C.
Abstract:: Nuclear fuel management is an optimization problem on many levels. Finding “viable” solutions for the core reload design problem is difficult without expert knowledge and software automation. Small modular reactors with a shared used fuel pool demonstrate a novel opportunity for fuel cycle optimization. A Python package was developed and...

Techno-Economic Optimization and Environmental Impact Analysis for a Mixed-Mode Upstream and Midstream Forest Biomass to Bio-Products Supply Chain

Creator:: Mirkouei, Amin
Abstract:: Growing awareness and concern within society over the use of and reliance on fossil fuels has stimulated research efforts in identifying, developing, and selecting alternative energy sources and energy technologies. Bioenergy represents a promising replacement for conventional energy, due to reduced environmental impacts and broad applicability. Sustainable energy challenges, however,...

Comprehensive Characterization of Motion of a Helical Coil Due to Flow Induced Vibration

Creator:: Harmon, Paul L.
Abstract:: Mechanical vibrations compromise the integrity of key components of thermal power plants. Without careful design, strong resonances during steady state operation can wear these components to the point of failure, leading to an unsafe situation that may force a plant to shut down. The purpose of this research is to...

Direct shear testing of UO₂ sphere-pac nuclear reactor fuel

Creator:: Jenks, Richard P.
Abstract:: The design, development, and utilization of a direct shear test apparatus is presented in this thesis. The effectiveness of the device for determining the friction angle stress state parameter is studied. Two materials, alumina and uranium dioxide, were tested. Alumina microspheres were employed in the initial experiments to simulate the...
