Molecular Weight Determinations Of Some Salmonella Potsdam Bacteriophage Dna's, Winston H. Richards
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Two group A phages, P9c/2 and P4/2, were studied. Their density, sedimentation velocity, and biochemical properties were compared. Their densities were determined by density gradient centrifugation in 38.3% cesium chloride. Sedimentation velocity was used to determine their molecular weights. To accomplish this, the DNA of P9c/2 and P4/2 was labeled with tritium and T2 DNA, labeled with 32P, was used as a standard. The DNA of P9c/2 and P4/2 was separately mixed with T2 DNA and centrifuged in a 0-15% sucrose gradient. The molecular weights were calculated using the formula D2/D1= (M2 …

Later Mating Improves Lambing Results, R J. Suiter
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Ovulation studies in Western Australia have indicated that increased lambing percentages in crossbred and Merino ewes could be expected from mating in February-April rather than December- January.
Such increases have been demonstrated in time of lambing trials with crossbred ewes, but had not been seen in Merino flocks until recently.
This report summarises the results of time of lambing trials with Merinos carried out at the Merredin and Wongan Hills Research Stations between 1963 and 1969.

West Australian Merino flocks average about 70 per cent, lambs marked each year. Reasons for this low percentage are that as many as 30 per cent, of ewes do not lamb, twinning rates are low and from 10 to 25 per cent, of lambs born die.
Among the research projects by the Department of Agriculture's Sheep and Wool Branch have been a number directed at the various stages of reproduction in the ewe. These have given some important leads on the causes of low lambing percentages.
If you have marked less than 60 per cent, lambs in the past several …
