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. Ultimately, the NSF granted $3.5 million each to CIT and WRU, essentially contingent on their eventual federation. Of this, a total of $2.6 mi...

In this lecture, we will cover amortized analysis, which is a method where we consider the average work done over an entire sequence of operations instead of just considering the worst-case cost/time for a single operation; by doing such an analysis, we can obtain tighter bounds in scenarios when expensive operations occur rarely enough that we can charge their cost to more frequent inexpensive...

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 ...
