A study of the effects of plane of nutrition on bovine milk proteins, with particular emphasis on the individual whey proteins : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1977)
Milk and other dairy products comprise a major source of man's food. The milk of the cow (Bos taurus) is of overwhelming importance (F.A.O. Yearbook 1974). Interest in the composition of cows milk stems largely from its ...
Genetic and environmental factors affecting performance traits of straightbred Angus and Friesian-sired calves : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1977)
Genetic and environmental parameters for calf growth traits were determined from data collected over a 5-year period at the Whatawhata Hill Country Research Station, Hamilton, using least squares mixed model procedures. ...
Biology and ecology of the ship rat, Rattus rattus rattus (L.) in Manawatu (N.Z.) forests : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University
(Massey University, 1977)
Ship rats in Manawatu lowland forest were studied by snap and cage trapping for one year, and by tracking. The results are very similar to those of previous New Zealand studies. Rat density was low. Only 3.9 rats per 100 ...
Sources and transport of phosphorus and nitrogen in a stream draining a dominantly pasture catchment : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Soil Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1977)
The literature relating to the sources and amounts of P and N forms transported in runoff types (surface, accelerated subsurface, and subsurface runoff) and in stream flow from catchments of varying land use was reviewed. ...
Metabolism and translocation of linamarin in cassava (Manihot Esculenta Crantz) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemistry at Massey University, New Zealand
(Massey University, 1977)
The metabolism of linamarin in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has been investigated. Information on the biosynthetic pathway, synthetic sites, translocation and turnover of the cyanoglucoside has been obtained by ...
An investigation into the friendship behaviour of Maori and pakeha children : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Education at Massey University
(Massey University, 1977)
In this thesis, two aspects of the friendship behaviour of a group of children are investigated to see whether an apparent difference in patterns of behaviour between Maori and Pakeha children is supported. Two questionnaires ...
A quantitative model for the design of a processed infant food product for Thailand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Ph. D. in Product Development at Massey University
(Massey University, 1977)
A quantitative model was developed to design a processed infant food product for Thailand. Linear programming was used as a basis for the model. The model can select not only the raw materials but also the process, taking ...
Acetaldehyde metabolism in mammals : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemistry at Massey University, New Zealand
(Massey University, 1977)
To determine the pharmacological importance of acetaldehyde in the actions of ethanol, this study was planned to define the levels of free acetaldehyde occurring in human blood during the oxidation of ethanol in the body. ...
An approach to the semisynthesis of acyl carrier protein : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry at Massey University
(Massey University, 1977)
The purpose of this study was to prepare several semisynthetic analogues of the acyl carrier protein of E. coli, using the Merrifield solid-phase method for the preparation of the synthetic 1-6 hexapeptide in the protected ...
Heat transfer during freezing of foods and prediction of freezing times : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biotechnology at Massey University
(Massey University, 1977)
A study of methods for predicting the freezing time of foods was made. Four shapes - finite slabs, cylinders, spheres and rectangular bricks were considered. For each shape experimental measurements of the freezing time ...
