The purpose of the study was to determine an emergence
rhythm, its period, and the developmental stages susceptible to
emergence synchronization in the leafcutter bee Megachile rotundata
(Fabricius). An attempt was made to determine if an oxygen consumption
rhythm was present in the pupal and adult stages of the
alkali...
The volatile flavor fraction of lightly milled wheat grown in
eastern Oregon was isolated for study by two methods: steam distillation
under vacuum and steam distillation at atmospheric pressure.
The sample obtained under vacuum was extracted with ether
which was then evaporated to yield the desired wheat essence.
Steam distillation...
The volatile components of rye flour were isolated
by steam distillation and trapped in cold traps under
vacuum. After preliminary tests indicated the presence
of carbonyl compounds, the distillate was reacted with
2,4 dinitrophenylhydrazine to convert the carbonyl compounds
to their stable derivatives, 2,4 dinitrophenylhydrazones.
Three classes of monocarbonyls were...
Steroid organoboranes have been found to be useful synthetic
intermediates. Attempted pyrolyses, based on simple trialkylborane
cyclizations, have not yielded C-19 or C-18 functionalized steroids,
but have produced isomerized systems not otherwise available.
Thus, hydroboration of cholesterol followed by pyrolysis at
215° gives 31% of 2-cholestene-6α-ol and 49% of a...
Experiments were done to determine the effect of some
factors on the level of transmission of bean yellow mosaic
virus (BYMV) by aphids. The effect of different source
plant treatments, the effect of light on test plant susceptibility,
and the effect of a second virus on the transmission
of BYMV...
