Construction of a Babesia bovis expression library : isolation and characterization of clones encoding Babesia proteins
(1987)
Babesia bovis is a tick-transmitted, intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite causing a hemolytic disease in cattle throughout the world. To identify and characterize gene products produced during the parasite life cycle, a ...
Solar thermal energy for supplemental heat to process tea in Sri Lanka
(1987)
In tea processing, the subprocesses of withering and drying require thermal energy for dehydration of tea leaves. At present, the Sri Lankan tea industry depends mostly on imported fossil fuels for its thermal energy needs. ...
Parameters to describe the growth of male cattle
(1987)
Parameters were estimated for nonlinear growth curves for bulls of five straightbred and 20 crossbred breedtypes produced in two generations of a diallel. The primary intent of this study was to use the estimates obtained ...
An investigation of the cross-cultural applicability of locus of control as a moderating variable of the relationship between participation and performance/satisfaction
(1987)
This study investigates the role of locus of control as a moderator of the relationships between budgetary participation and performance, and budgetary participation and job satisfaction. Research is conducted in Mexico ...
Applications of geometric concepts toward robust signal detection
(1987)
In many engineering applications, the need for signal detection often arises. In many such applications, it is advantageous to employ a detection scheme which is relatively insensitive to possible variations in the nominal ...
The influences of vicarious learning and individual differences on ethical decision making in the organization : an experiment
(1987)
Ethical/unethical behavior in the organization is proposed to be a function of both the environment (organizational variables) and the person (individual difference variables). Organizations can influence ethical decision ...
A unified approach to vehicle design, control, and flight path optimization
(1987)
A set of vehicle design and control optimization methods is presented that minimizes the difference between the desired and actual dynamical flight paths. The approach taken seeks the optimum, physically admissible mass ...
Factors influencing development of reproductive function in Brahman bulls
(1987)
The influences of age and dietary energy intake on the hypothalamic-hypophyseal-testicular axis of developing Brahman bulls are not well understood. Two experiments were conducted to examine these relationships. In the ...
Design of linear transconductance elements in CMOS technology
(1987)
Transconductance elements are useful active building blocks in fully-monolothic analog signal-processing systems. Efforts of the present research have been to develop, fabricate, and experimentally evaluate some novel ...
Determinants of elderly living conditions and suggested design considerations for mixed-use facilities for the elderly
(1987)
The purpose of this study was to determine the usability of mixed-use facilities for the elderly as an architectural solution to alleviate the problem of isolation of the elderly. Data were gathered from elderly residents ...
