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 ...
The effects of a whole language classroom on the development and use of text strategies by retained first grade students
(1988)
This research investigated the effects of a whole language classroom on the text strategies of five retained first grade students in relation to other students in the same environment. This research had three major focii: ...
Molecular structures by theoretical means : applications to metal ion monohydrates, quadruply bonded dichromium(II) complexes, and carbonyl labilization in ligand substitution reactions
(1988)
Ab initio Hartree-Fock-Roothaan self-consistent-field (HFR-SCF) and generalized valence bond (GVB) geometry optimizations are used to study problems that are inaccessible to experiment. The theoretically determined molecular ...
A parametric digital signal processing algorithm for arcing high impedance fault detection
(1988)
There is a problem which currently exists in the electric utility industry with the detection of high impedance faults. A high impedance fault is one which does not draw sufficient fault current to be detected and cleared ...
The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane : gas-phase and catalytic
(1988)
The gas-phase and the catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane were studied. Lithium-promoted magnesium oxide was investigated as the catalyst. In the gas-phase oxidation study a perfectly mixed tubular reactor was ...
The effects of autocratic and democratic methods of teaching on competitive and cooperative learning modes in higher education
(1988)
This study was designed to further understanding about the intersecting of autocratic and democratic methods of teaching with competitive and cooperative modes of learning in higher education. The investigation was interested ...
Pigmentation potency of turf Bermuda grass with analysis of carotenoids in egg yolks
(1988)
Four experiments were performed to evaluate the potential of using turf Bermuda grass as a pigmenting agent for laying hens. In experiment 1, the carotene and xanthophyll changes during growth of turf Bermuda grass (Cynodon ...
Market organization and product quality under asymmetric information : a comparison of monopoly and competitive market
(1988)
A comparison of product qualities across different market structures has been a major issue in the economic analysis of quality determination. The literature focused in particular on the difference in product quality between ...
