Seven species of microorganisms indigenous to fish were inoculated into sterile fish muscle, obtained from Sebastodes alutus and Sebastalobus alascanus, and the production of total volatile acids (TVA) and total volatile bases (TVB) was determined during storage at 1 C. No production of TVA and TVB was noted in sterile...
Certain chlorinated insecticides can be identified by electron capture gas-liquid chromatographic (EC-GLC) analysis of the prepared sample before and after treatment with ultraviolet irradiation, Upon U.V. treatment, characteristic degradation products arise from the insecticides investigated. Comparison of the degradation pattern obtained by EC-GLC of unknown and authentic insecticides provides an...
Studies involving freeze-dried methyl linolenate-gelatin foams indicate that the extent of lipid-protein interaction corresponds to the degree of autoxidation of the lipid fraction. It appears that approximately 11% of the malonaldehyde as defined by the 2-thiobarbituric acid test is firmly bound to the protein. The induction period of autoxidation is...
A threshold pattern for the even-numbered free fatty acids (FFA) in butter depended on chain-length. Butyric acid had the lowest total average flavor threshold (AFT) of the more volatile FFA, and the total AFT values increased as chain-length increased through hexanoic and octanoic acids. A soapy after-taste predominated at and...
Eighty-one microbial species isolated from seafoods and other marine sources were examined to determine the extent of interactions among these species. Spot-plates, cross-plates, and concurrent growth experiments at 7, 15, 20, and 30 C indicated that Lactobacillus species were capable of inhibiting other microorganisms. Lactobacillus species isolated from oysters and...
The Columbia River Gillnetter is the pilot of the Lower Columbia River commercial fishing industry, keeping fishermen and the public in touch with today's important issues.

Includes titles containing valuable introductory materials, bibliographies, motif indexes, and additional comparative notes,...
ENTOMOLOGISTS, BOTANISTS, and AGRICULTURISTS all
have occasion to concern themselves with bees. The en-tomologist is fascinated by their complex behavior pat-terns, the botanist needs to evaluate their significance infloral biology, and the agriculturist must take them into account as vital factors in crop production. Finally, the apiculturist often wishes to...
July 1, 1964-June 30, 1966. Report of the Oregon Game Commission’s transactions and operations for 1964-1966. This report summarizes fish and game resources for the biennium, as well as research conducted. It also mentions stream flow studies and other basin investigations conducted by the commission.
This report summarizes the activities of the Fish Commission of Oregon from July 1966 to June 1968. It contains information on the different divisions of the Commission, and summarizes research projects the Research Division was working on. It also includes general operations reports and a financial statement.
The efficiency of powdered corncob as a tablet disintegrating
agent was compared to that of a number of wood products and to
starch, the most popular agent used today. Corncob appeared to
be superior in its disintegrating effectiveness.
The optimum particle size, at which powdered corncob produced
its best disintegrating...
The objectives undertaken in this study were:
1) to develop means of identifying the immature stages of
the known insect predators and parasites of the Douglas-fir beetle; 2) to investigate the possible distribution,
spatially and/or temporal, of the known insect predators
and parasites in standing trees infested by the Douglas-fir...
Nearly 9,000 feet of Cretaceous mudstones, shales, sandstone,
and conglomerates are exposed along the northeast-trending Mitchell
anticline of central Oregon, These rocks are divided into two formations
on the basis of criteria developed in this investigation. The
lower formation, hereby designated the Meyers Formation, is 4,716
feet thick at its...
Waste water lagoons have been used as a satisfactory means of
treating domestic and certain industrial wastes in many parts of the
country. Many of the parameters that govern the applicability of this
type of treatment process are climatic in nature, and critical evaluation
of local climatic conditions, as well...
