We present spectroscopy and orbital periods Porb of four relatively little-studied cataclysmic variable stars. The stars and their periods are: AF Cam, Porb = 0.324(1) d (the daily cycle count is slightly ambiguous); V2069 Cyg (= RX J2123.7+4217), 0.311683(2) d; PG 0935+075, 0.1868(3) d; and KUV 03580+0614, 0.1495(6) d. V2069 Cyg and KUV 03580+0614 both show HeII λ4686 emission comparable in st...

Experiments were conducted to determine the tryptophan (Trp) requirement of 10- to 20-kg pigs. A Trp-deficient experimental diet (.11% total Trp, 18% CP, 3,320 kcal of ME/kg) was composed of corn, feather meal, corn gluten meal, soybean meal, and dried whey. True digestibility of Trp in the experimental diet was 70% (.077% digestible Trp) as established in a digestibility assay that involved ce...
