The structure of water adsorbed in polymers
(1981)
Water adsorbed in polymers is important for mechanical, electrical, and other physical properties. At low concentrations the water does not freeze but becomes immobile at about 150(DEGREES)K. Polymers have many small ...
Identification and characterization of gram negative glucose nonfermenting bacilli from clinical veterinary specimens
(1981)
Gram negative, glucose nonfermenting bacilli (NFB) have recently been shown to be significant opportunistic pathogens of man. Very little is known about the occurrence of these bacteria in clinical veterinary specimens. ...
Baseline blood chemistry determinations of wild versus colony born common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) maintained in an indoor-outdoor environment
(1981)
The objective of this study was to present reliable and quality controlled reference values for the hematological and serum constituents of the adult normal cotton-eared marmoset, and to note the differences, if any between ...
Catecholamine levels in fit and nonfit males when exposed to an emotional stress
(1981)
The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine the difference in catecholamine (CA) excretion levels and perceived anxiety levels between physically fit and nonfit human subjects when exposed to an emotional ...
A histological and ultrastructural study of variegated leaf chimeras of Saintpaulia ionantha Wendl. and their regeneration in vitro
(1981)
Variegated leaves of three African violet cultivars were studied by light and electron microscopy. This analysis combined with inheritance data revealed the following possible LI, LII, LIII periclinal chimera histogenic ...
Acute equine laminitis : renal morphology and endocrine interplay
(1981)
The levels of testosterone and renin/angiotensin during the acute stages of induced equine laminitis were determined. Renal pathologic conditions were determined for short (4 day) and long (20 days to six weeks) durations ...
Studies in the toxicity and metabolism of bitterweed (Hymenoxys odorata DC.)
(1981)
The toxicity of hymenoxon and hymenolane, two of the sesquiterpene lactone components of bitterweed, was evaluated by a single-administration oral toxicity test in sheep (the target species), with three dosage levels of ...
The effects of complexity on COBOL program changes
(1981)
Due to the increasing complexity and the increasing costs of developing and maintaining computer programs, a great need exists for reliable methods of predicting the number of errors to be expected in computer programs. ...
Spatial and temporal variation in summer and winter populations of freshwater bacteria enumerated by scanning electron microscopy
(1981)
The aquatic bacteria of Sebesta Pond were classified and enumerated using scanning electron microscopy. Classification of the bacteria required the development of a key based on external morphology. These bacteria were ...
A welfare theoretic approach to tax incidence
(1981)
This dissertation examines several welfare effects of (1) an intracountry transfer payment and (2) a tax on corporate capital. While both topics are concerned with tax incidence, the analysis of each are even more closely ...
