An investigation of aqueous slurries as fusion reactor blankets
(1985)
Numerical and experimental studies were carried out to assess the feasibility of using an aqueous slurry, with lithium in its solid component, to meet the tritium breeding, cooling, and shielding requirements of a controlled ...
A comparative study of the empirical impact of the joint estimation approach and the alternative selection approach for application to econometric models with a pure autocorrelation structure : the case of the General Fechner-Thurstone direct utility function
(1985)
This dissertation is an empirical, comparative study of the impact of two different approaches, the joint estimation approach and the alternative selection approach, in dealing with econometric models of a typical ...
Fatty acid metabolism in the freshwater shrimp, Macrobrachium rosenbergii
(1985)
Freshwater shrimp, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, were fed experimental diets containing no fat, purified fatty acids (linoleate, linolenate, palmitate) and lipids of plant and animal origin. Gas chromatographic analysis of ...
Characterization and identification of two distinct strains of Watermelon Mosaic Virus-2 affecting cucurbits in Texas
(1985)
Two unrelated viruses, Watermelon Mosaic Virus-1 (WMV-1) and Watermelon Mosaic Virus-2 (WMV-2), cause the major virus diseases of cucurbits in Texas. WMV-1, with a host range restricted to cucurbits, was reported in Texas ...
The physiology of parasitism by Phymatotrichum omnivorum (Shear) Duggar
(1985)
The physiology of parasitism of the cotton root rot fungus, Phymatotrichum omnivorum (Shear) Duggar, was investigated. Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium was developed as a defined medium for axenic growth of P. omnivorum ...
The catalytic behaviors of lanthanum and neodymium oxides for dehydrogenation/dehydration of ethanol
(1985)
The ethanol dehydrogenation and dehydration reactions have been employed to investigate the nature and behavior of catalytically active sites on lanthanum and neodymium sesquioxides. In support of this objective, x-ray ...
The analysis of mixed associations of aqueous nucleoside solutions
(1985)
Two similar chemical interactions were studied: (1) that between two naturally occurring nucleosides found in deoxyribonucleic acids, 2'-deoxyadenosine and thymidine; and (2) between the nucleoside 2'-deoxyadenosine and ...
Interactions of hormones and gonadal development of Tilapia aurea fry
(1985)
Gonadal differentiation of Tilapia aurea fry reared under various photoperiods was studied. Histological sections were made of fry gonads from the first free-swimming day through day 20 from samples taken every other day. ...
Heterosis for grain yield and its components in winter wheat F₁ hybrids
(1985)
An evaluation of heterosis in F1 hybrids of soft red winter wheat (SRWW) and hard red winter wheat (HRWW) was conducted to estimate heterosis in grain yield, yield components, total dry weight, height, test weight, protein ...
Studies on competition for N between arrowleaf clover and gulf ryegrass by using ¹⁵N depleted ammonium nitrate
(1985)
Arrowleaf clover (Trifolium vesiculosum Savi) and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) are commonly grown together but the fertilizer N needs of these plants when grown in mixture are not well understood. Two greenhouse and ...
