A Method for Isolating β-Casein

A simple method for isolating individual microbes.

A New Method for Isolating I-(+)-lysine

None of the methods which have been used for isolating Z-(+)lysine from plant extracts and protein hydrolysates is ideal. The oldest method utilizes phosphotungstic acid to precipitate the basic nitrogenous compounds which must be fractionated subsequently (1, 2). In the Kossel-Kutscher silver sulfate-barium hydroxide fractionation (3) the lysine remaining in the final filtrate must be precipit...

A rapid method for isolating glandular trichomes.

A physical method is described for the rapid isolation of plant trichomes, with emphasis on stalked glandular types. The technique involved breaking frozen trichomes with powdered dry ice and collection of glandular heads by sieving from larger tissue fragments. This method was applied to several plants that bear similar stalked trichomes: geranium (Pelargonium), potato (Solanum tuberosum), tom...

A Method for Isolating Morphological Effects on Evolved Behaviour

As the field of embodied cognitive science begins to mature, it is imperative to develop methods for identifying and quantifying the constraints and opportunities an agent’s body places on its possible behaviours. In this paper we present results from a set of experiments conducted on 10 different legged agents, in which we evolve neural controllers for locomotion. The genetic algorithm and neu...
