Some problems in sequencing and scheduling utilizing branch and bound algorithms
(1988)
This dissertation deals with branch and bound algorithms which are applied to the two-machine flow-shop problem with sparse precedence constraints and the optimal sequencing and scheduling of multiple feedstocks in a batch ...
Effects of statically performed toe touch stretches on torque production of the hamstring and quadriceps muscle groups
(1988)
Stretching used as part of a warm up routine for later performance has become not only popular but also recommended by physical educators. Warm up stretches are thought to enhance performance and reduce the incidence of ...

An experiment was conducted to ascertain whether industrial simulation software could be used to teach complex manufacturing concepts to students in manufacturing technology programs. The objectives of the study were to ...
Studies in enzymatic peptide synthesis
(1988)
Chapter I. The incorporation of D-amino acids into peptides via kinetic approach enzymatic peptide synthesis is examined. D-amino acid esters were found to be fairly efficient acyl-acceptors under conditions of high organic ...
Molecular cloning, characterization, and immunogenicity of a species-specific Babesia microti antigen
(1988)
The laboratory strain of the intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite, Babesia microti, produces an acute, lethal infection in mice. This species also causes a malaria-like disease in humans. B. microti genomic DNA was prepared ...
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 ...
