Total lipids, lipid phosphorus, neutral lipids, and changes in fatty acids were determined in liver, spleen, skin and tumor of DBA/1J mice bearing the lymphosarcoma at various days after injection of tumor cells.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of aspirational and dissociative reference group influence on consumer behavior. There are two ways in which behavior is influenced by reference groups. First, reference groups influence aspiration levels and therefore play a major role in producing satisfaction or frustration.

Antithesis is a composition, approximately nine minutes long, for chamber orchestra (2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 trumpets, 2 horns, 1 percussionist, prepared electronic tape and strings).

In contrast to the relatively rapid changes occurring in the modern American army, the period between the end of the War of 1812 and the beginning of the Mexican War offers a definite period for a study of military life when reform came slowly.

This investigation concerned determining certain factors which affect the activity of cyclopropane synthetase in L. plantarum. In vitro experiments showed the enzme to be sensitive to ionic strength and subject to product inhibition by S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleusidase, which relieves this inhibition by degrading SAH to adenine and ribosylhomocysteine.

A mating between Escherichia coli 4318 (thi-leu-Las-Hfr) and E. coli A-1 (Met-Las+ F-) resulted in the formation of phototrophic recombinantshaving L-asparaginase activities at three distinct levels. The physiology of L-asparaginase synthesis in these recombinants is described.

Polyacrymalide gel isoelectric focusing (PAGIF) in thin-layer was used to resolve proteins of Mycoplasma spp., Acholeplasma spp. and of eight strains of Ureaplasma urealyticum (T-Strain). A mixture of urea, Triton X-100, and dithioerythritol was used to solubilize sonically disrupted cells.
