Studies on serum transferrin and nonspecific serum iron complexes
(1977)
The research described in this dissertation deals with various aspects of transferrin chemistry. A procedure for measuring the unsaturated iron binding capacity of serum by spectrophotometric titration is described. This ...
Genetic parameters associated with cholesterol in egg yolk and blood serum of the chicken
(1977)
A closed population of White Leghorns was used in this study to evaluate the importance of additive and nonadditive genetic variance in the inheritance of egg yolk and blood serum cholesterol in chickens. A diallel mating ...
The transport of heavy metals by the Mississippi River and their fate in the Gulf of Mexico
(1977)
Significant differences in total and leachable concentration of some metals were observed between Mississippi River suspended matter and Gulf of Mexico sediments. These variations are related to diversity in Gulf sediment ...
Vibration, performance, and personality
(1977)
If the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) boundary for preservation of work efficiency, i.e., the "Fatigue Decreased Proficiency Boundary" (FDBP) has been appropriately set, then no human performance ...
Culture of selected estuarine organisms and monitoring of water quality in flow-through tanks receiving power-plant effluent
(1977)
Twenty-three species (2 molluscs, 4 crustaceans and 17 fishes) were screened for their maricultural potential. These 23 species and 22 other species (1 mullusc, 2 crustaceans, 16 fishes and 3 turtles) were also used as ...
Potential and program for a continuing education program in planning for Mississippi
(1977)
A survey was made of the potential market for continuing planning education in Mississippi by surveying the three most obvious groups of planners. The survey population included professional planners, planning commission ...
Transcription mutants of Escherichia coli : specific isolation of temperature - sensitive RNA polymerase mutants
(1977)
The research described in this dissertation concerns the isolation of conditional-lethal RNA polymerase mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 that are heat-sensitive for growth. Approaches to specification of mutagenesis to ...
Distortion measurement between photographic images : a new rock-mechanics tool
(1977)
Although a qualitative understanding of the fracture of rocks has been acquired, quantitative models are still inadequate. The construction of a predictive model of the brittle deformation of crystalline rocks requires ...
Identification of factors associated with variability in tenderness among beef carcasses of the same U.S.D.A. grade
(1977)
Eighty bovine carcasses were selected from among 1005 carcasses of known grade and tenderness (sensory panel ratings and shear force values). Five grade-maturity groups (U.S. Choice, A maturity, n=20; U.S. Choice, B maturity, ...
Real-time computer techniques in the detection and analysis of severe storms from digital radar data
(1977)
An improved computer method was developed by which multi-tilt digital radar data can be interpolated in three dimensions and reduced to a two-dimensional display of partially vertically-summed reflectivity (Z) maps (PVSZ) ...
