Enzymes in organic synthesis : aldolase-catalyzed reactions for the synthesis of unusual sugars
(1990)
Several aspects of the use of enzymes in organic synthesis have been explored. Fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase (FDP aldolase) is available commercially and has been cloned and overexpressed in E. coli. Both aldolases ...
Optimal ranch management strategies with stochastic sequential decision models
(1989)
The profitability of ranch operations are largely dependent on stochastic prices and range conditions. These variables are stochastic, but not entirely beyond the influence of ranchers. Current management decisions will ...
Tracing the causes of writing errors : a revision of error analysis procedures and assumptions
(1989)
Error analysis (EA) in composition studies attempts to determine the causes of writers' uses of nonstandard language. Typified by the work of Kroll and Schafer, Bartholomae, and Shaughnessy, traditional EA draws extensively ...
A subjective-biomechanical evaluation of comfort in automobile seats
(1988)
This dissertation presents the results of an investigation of the relationship between posture and comfort in a suite of four automobile seats. Sixteen university students (eight males, eight females) participated in a ...
Oxytocin-induced prostaglandin release from uterine tissues : in vivo and in vitro studies
(1989)
Three studies were designed to determine: 1) if the postpartum uterus responds to oxytocin (OT) by releasing prostaglandins (PG) in a dose dependent manner; 2) compare the ability of caruncular (C) and intercaruncular (IC) ...
Estimates of genetic parameters in corn using parent/offspring regression and the intra-class correlation of half-sibs
(1989)
Genetic parameters are associated with corn kernel characteristics were estimated using parent/offspring regressions, variance components analyses and the intra-class correlations of half-sibs. The experimental and mating ...
Aging and anomia among blacks
(1989)
The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between aging and anomia among blacks as influenced by selected independent variables. These variables are: gender, socioeconomic status, place of residence, ...
Investment and expectations in the U.S. farm sector
(1990)
The objective of this study was to analyze the interrelationship between expectations patterns and investment behavior of producers in the U.S. farm sector. A major problem confronting U.S. farm sector is overinvestment ...
Macroeconomic implications of the government budget identity : the case of a predetermined fiscal deficit and a pure nominal interest rate peg
(1990)
We consider the restrictions that the government budget identity places in an economy with rational expectations and, in particular, the case in which the fiscal authorities predetermine the conventional government deficit ...
The effect of translational energy on trapping and detection in fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry
(1989)
Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) is the observation of an image current induced by a well defined ion packet, consequently the high resolution and high sensitivity arise from the ability to produce coherent ...
