(1979)
This paper describes the results of the initial phase of a program being conducted to develop systems and procedures to maximize ballast and lifting gas usage on board an atmospheric research balloon. Computer programs, ...
Characterization Of Selected Physical Properties Of cGMP - Phosphodiesterase Isolated From Human Lung Tissue
(1979)
In this study, cyclic 3':5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase from human lung tissue was investigated. After a brief review of the literature, some physical properties of the enzyme were characterized. A Heat Lability study ...

Heavy Metals in Liquid Waste Disposal: Water-Sediment Interactions
(1979)
Water and sediment samples taken from an area near the discharge of the Galveston Sewage Treatment Plant were analyzed for copper, nickel, lead and zinc. Two twenty-four hour sampling periods were conducted at four hour ...
Studies of Gene Expression from the Met B Promotor of Escherichia coli: Attempts to Isolate Gene Fusion Products
(1979)
Attempts were made to study the regulation of the met BJLMF gene cluster in Escherichia coli by such techniques as gene fusion and deletion analysis. Due to technical difficulties the gene fusion technique was abandoned. ...
A Critical Analysis of the Fourth Ward North of West Gray Street: Recommendations for Rehabilitation
(1979)
The Fourth Ward-north of West gray study area is a predominantly residential neighborhood of approximately 300 acres. It is located in two major parts surrounded by redeveloped neighborhoods, burgeoning commercial enterprise, ...
Purine Metabolism During Development in the Cellular Slime Mold, Dictyostelium discoideum
(1979)
The studies reported in this paper examine the metabolic reorientation of purine nucleotide metabolism during the development of the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum. There appears to be an energy oriented ...
Velocity Anisotropy in Gulf Coast Carbonates
(1979)
Compressional-wave velocities were measured parallel and perpendicular to bedding in five Gulf Coast carbonate samples at atmospheric pressure. In general, the horizontal velocities exceeded the vertical velocities, with ...
The Theoretical Analysis Of Tritium Containment In Fusion Reactors
(1979)
The concept of fusion reactors as power generating machines was investigated. Specific attention was focused on the problems involved with tritium containment. Several ceramics and metals were compared as possible tritium ...
The Effects Of Natural Environmental And Anthropogenic Stressors On Blood Glucose Levels In Two Species Of Decapod Crustaceans
(1979)
Relatively little is known about the stress response in invertebrates or how to measure it. Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) has been recommended as a possible indicator of stress in animals. The degree of stress effects ...
