-
(1993)This research project possesses the possibility for a very real impact to the electric power industry. This paper will focus most directly on the evaluation of the Fiber Fabry- Perot Interferometer (FFPI) in applications ...
-
(1994)Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAE) is an innovative process which utilizes plastic deformation to produce materials with unique properties. The process can be applied multiple times to obtain very high levels of ...
-
(1986)This investigation explored the potential of a slab of porous silicon mounted onto a quartz crystal to detect various gas species or measure gas pressures for a given gas species. The pore sizes of the porous silicon are ...
-
(1983)The applicability of three functional models concerning the occurence of small Classic Mimbres phase architectural sites is evaluated in light of data obtained from three sites in Grant County, New Mexico. One model proposes ...
-
(1985)Farmers and ranchers are annually confronted by a variety of investment and financing decisions that will affect the financial structure and performance of their firm for many years to come. The purpose of this project is ...
-
(1980)Crude soluble preparations obtained from anaerobic, light-grown cells of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides have been shown to possess a significant level of acyl-CoA thioesterase activity. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis ...
-
(1991)The primary purpose of this work was to study the charge state distributions and ionization cross sections for fast, highly charged, heavy ions in collision with noble gas atoms. Fission fragments from the spontaneous ...
-
(1978)This report contains an examination of the Senate document, "The Accounting Establishment", which calls for extensive governmental regulation of the accounting profession. It examines ten major points presented in the ...
-
(1998)The following paper is an analysis of the ways in which Coventry Patmore's image of female perfection, the Angel in the House, and the ideals which it embodies have affected literary works by nineteenth- and twentieth-century ...
-
(1998)In the past few years the state of Texas, under the direction of Governor George W. Bush, has seriously considered the idea of cutting property taxes. Since schools are financed mainly through property taxes in Texas, ...
-
(1978)A mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacking 92 percent of its phosphomannose isomerase (E.C.5.3.1.8.) activity was isolated after mutation with E.M.S.. The mutant was found to have the same auxotrophic requirements as the ...
-
(1983)Two sets of deletion mutants of lambda pmet100 were isolated by EDTA/heat shock inactivation. A procedure has been developed to quickly screen large numbers of these mutants. The structures of the resultant mutants were ...
-
(1990)A 16kb fragment of DNA containing the omp1 gene was isolated from Brucella abortus strain 19 and inserted into plasmid pBR322. The resultant plasmid, p1F8, was transformed into E. coli SE5000. Cells containing the plasmid ...
-
(1984)Five media were compared for their efficiency in isolation of Ceratocystis fagacearum, the oak wilt fungus. The efficiency of bole and branch samples was also compared. Potato dextrose agar amended with streptomycin was ...
-
(1990)Bacteria swim through their environment, but not that much is known about the "motor" which propels them. In Escherichia coli, a bacteria found in human intestines, six to eight flagella(4) move the cell around so that it ...
-
(1978)Acid invertase was isolated from Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench. Activity was determined in a crude enzyme preparation by determining the increase in glucose and fructose and the decrease in sucrose. TMS derivatives of the ...
-
(1982)The standard vitamin K dependent carboxylase assay was maximized for use with purified carboxylase preparation. This preparation represented a 100-fold increase in specific activity relative to microsomes. The carboxylation ...
-
(2012-04-20)Historic preservation is a topic that is well known throughout the United States today and many people believe that they completely understand it in full. However, historic preservation is much more detailed and confusing ...
-
(1986)Often in petroleum reservoir analysis it is necessary to measure the electrical resistivity of the water present in a formation. Formation water salinity and fluid saturations can both be calculated from the water resistivity ...
-
(1989)Understanding the minds of Anglo-Saxon people who lived over nine hundred years ago is a difficult if not impossible task. Even to attempt such an understanding is pretentious, for it requires the reader to cross numerous ...
