In 1965, after proposals seeking Science Development Program (SDP) grants had been made to the National Science Foundation by both CIT and WRU, there was increased pressure from various quarters (including the NSF) for the merger of the two institutions.

The measurement of 16-androstene steroids in submaxillary salivary glands is a potentially good way to estimate boar taint. The objective of this work was to identify factors regulating the concentrations of these steroids in salivary glands. Large White x Pietrain male pigs were divided into four treatments: T-1, intact untreated (n = 18); T-2, intact treated with porcine somatotropin (pST, n ...

Six amino acid locations in the soluble castor D-18:0acyl carrier protein (ACP) desaturase were identified that can affect substrate specificity. Combinatorial saturation mutagenesis of these six amino acids, in conjunction with selection, using an unsaturated fatty acid auxotroph system, led to the isolation of variants with up to 15-fold increased specific activity toward 16-carbon substrates...
