An Epidemiological Evaluation of Antagonism Between the Normal Throat Flora and Group a Streptococci
… that certain constituents of the normal throat flora are capable of inhibiting the growth of group A streptococci in vitro (7). The presence of these inhibitory organisms in the throats of children was later shown to be associated with resistance to acquisition of group A streptococci …

Permeability, Pore Body, and Pore Throat Size Distributions from 2D Image Analysis: Comparison with Results from 3D Imaging and Laboratory Measurements
… segmentation. We estimate pore body and pore throat size distributions, and specific surface area from 2D-images. Then compare those estimates of pore body and pore throat size distributions from thin section to those obtained from 3D imaging, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Mercury …

Conspicuous female ornamentation and male mate preference of Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
… example is the recently documented red female throat coloration in some threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) populations. Although female sticklebacks often exhibit a preference for red male throat coloration, the possibility of sexual selection on females has been little studied. …

Fishing For The Evolutionary Bases Of Female Ornamentation
… hormonal, and genetic correlates of female throat coloration—a male typical trait—in the threespine stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus), to test whether the evolution of the female trait might be attributed to adaptive or nonadaptive mechanisms. My results indicate that while …

Gradient-Based Optimum Aerodynamic Design Using Adjoint Methods
… The properties of adjoint variables at the sonic throat and the shock location are studied, revealing a logarithmic singularity at the sonic throat and continuity at the shock location. A numerical method, based on the Steger-Warming flux-vector-splitting scheme, is proposed to solve the adjoint …

An investigation of residual fuel oil ash deposit formation and removal in cooled gas turbine nozzles
… were tested. These sectors were four-vane, three-throat sections with throat cross-sectional areas of approximately 50 (10⁻⁴) m². The test fuel was simulated by adding the appropriate contaminants to no. 2 fuel oil. A series of seven full-length tests were performed, ranging in length from 22.5 to …
