(1987)
The objectives of this study were (a) to explore the concept that consumers of organized recreation services have well formed attitudes (sector biases) regarding public sector agencies and commercial businesses; (b) to ...
Toward a faster mapping onto configuration space for obstacle avoidance in robotics
(1987)
As robotic manipulators become used more widely in industry, there may be a desire to include them in more complicated environments. In such workspaces, obstacle avoidance will be an element of the hierarchical control ...
The effects of mixed function oxidase inducers on the metabolism and mutagenicity of aflatoxin B₁
(1987)
The metabolism of aflatoxin B₁ to aflatoxins M₁ and Q₁ by rat liver microsomes from animals pretreated with polychlorinated or polybrominated biphenyl congeners depended on the structure of the halogenated biphenyl inducers. ...
