Interin1 Report on E-l/ Ccci Benchmarks*

£-L is an experimental software engineering environment and a programming language. An E-L program can be translated into executable code for the MC68020 by means of a Coagulating Code Generator (CCG) [K84a, K8clb, :v10r91]. Code produced by E-L/CCG is superior to that produced by a good optimizing C compiler (gee) on a suite of 10 benchmark programs. We present the benchmark results and, based...

Effect of l-Canavanine on Nitrate Reductase in Corn Roots.

l-Canavanine inhibits the appearance of nitrate reductase (NADH-nitrate oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.6.1) in both root tips and mature root sections of corn (Zea mays L.). Ten-fold more canavanine was required to cause a 50% reduction in the level of nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in root tips than in mature root sections. For example with one particular batch of seeds 500 mum canavanine was effect...

Lysine and Protein Levels in Corn-soybean M E a L Diets

Previous work with growing swine indicated that the lysine requirement, expressed as a percentage of the diet, decreased by .02 percentage units with each 1% reduction in dietary protein level. Thus, the dietary lysine needed for optimal performance may be less than the reported requirement when a portion of the soybean meal in a corn-soybean meal diet is replaced with crystalline lysine. An ex...
