Investigation of the composition of linear alkylbenzenes with emphasis on the identification and qua
Linear alkylbenzenes, LAB, formed by the Alel3 or HF catalyzed alkylation of
benzene are common raw materials for surfactant manufacture. Normally they are
sulphonated using S03 or oleum to give the corresponding linear alkylbenzene sulphonates
In >95 % yield.
As concern has grown about the environmental impact of surfactants,' questions have
been raised about the trace levels of unreacted raw materials, linear alkylbenzenes and minor
impurities present in them. With the advent of modem analytic
Forsaking all others: towards a new model of nationalism utilizing the case study of former Yugoslav
Many people would like to believe that nationalism is a thing of the past, a
dinosaur belonging to some bygone, uncivilized era. Such a belief is not borne out
by recent history, however. Nationalism occupies the political forum with as much
force as ever. Yet, in many ways, it remains a mystery to us. The purpose of this
study is to explore individual motivations involved in the rise of nationalism, in
addition to the role of structural factors. The linkage employed in this exploration
is the p
Factors affecting DNA uptake by mammalian cells
The ability to introduce DNA and express custom DNA sequences in bacteria
opened the door for improvements in a large number of fields including agriculture,
pharmacology, medicine, nutrition, etc. The ability to introduce foreign DNA sequences
into mammalian cells in an efficient manner would have a large impact on therapeutic
applications especially gene therapy. The methods in use today suffer from low
efficiencies and sometimes toxicity. In this work a number of factors were evaluated for

Developmental variations in the peripheral erythrocytic system of the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri
The peripheral circulating erythrocytic system of the
rainbow trout, l3 almo gairdner , was examined in vitro in relation differences in the morphology and multiple hemoglobin system
organization of adult and juvenile red cells.
Cells were separated by velocity sedimentation under unit
gravity, a procedure requiring red cell exposure to an incubation
medium for periods of at least three hours. Therefore ,
this must provide an environment in which red cells remain in a
condition approximaing
Completing the picture: the effects of video game practice on verbal and performance I.Q. scores in
The strength and nature of the video game practice
effect on tests of visual and perceptual skills were
examined using high functioning Grades Four and Five
students who had been tested with the WISC-R .for the purpose
of gifted identification and placement. The control group,
who did not own and .play video games on a sustained basis,
and the experimental group, who did own a video game system
and had some mastery of video games, including the -Nintendo

Genetic variation and evolutionary divergence within and among populations, species, and genera of t
Seven crayfish species from three genera of the subfamily Cambarinae
were electrophoretically examined for genetic variation at a total of
twenty-six loci. Polymorphism was detected primarily at three loci:
Ao-2, Lap, and Pgi. The average heterozygosities over-all loci for each
species were found to be very low when compared to most other invertebrate
species that have been examined electrophoretically.
With the exception of Cambarus bartoni, the interpopulation genetic
identities are high withi
