An Investigation of the Working and Hardness of the SMARTPREP Instruments and their Endpoint in Caries-Affected Dentin
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005)In an effort to only remove the carious dentin, without harming any of the healthy dentin, SS White designed the SMARTPREP instrument. According to SS White, the SMARTPREP instruments should be able to remove infected ... -
Isolation of temperature sensitive Tanapox mutants
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2009)Because tanapox virus (TPV) causes self-limiting disease, the biogenesis of TPV is unclear. Use of temperature sensitive (ts) mutants would lead to determine unknown gene functions and TPV biogenesis, viral assembly inside ... -
Kalamazoo College Proposed Tree Enhancement Project
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2021)Trees provide ecosystem services that would be far too costly for humans to create themselves. These services can be classified into four main groups: environmental benefits, communal benefits, economic benefits, and ... -
Larval Host Plant Selection and Daily Behavior of the Poweshiek Skipperling
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2016)Conservation efforts depend greatly on a working knowledge of the species of concern. Little is known about the basic biology of many endangered species regarding their life history information. This is true for the poweshiek ... -
Late-stage Chicken (Gallus domesticus) Embryonic Growth Patterns and Albumen Consumption
