The capabilities of the coagulation-filtration process for virus
removal were evaluated by constructing and operating a one step,
2 gpm coagulation-filtration pilot plant. Multi-media filters were
used without pre-coagulation and sedimentation. A T2 bacteriophage
was used as the indicator organism. The plant was operated under
a variety of conditions in...
A field experiment under irrigation was conducted at the
Hyslop Agronomy Farm, near Corvallis, Oregon, during the 1967
growing season to evaluate the effect of barley row spacing, nitrogen
rate and placement, and weed competition in the year of seeding upon
birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) seedling establishment.
The effect...
An automatic, continuous analyzer has been developed which
is suitable for estimating the level of spent sulfite liquors (SSL) in
laboratory samples. The analyzer makes use of a version of the
Pearl-Benson, or nitroso method, and, in its present form, is
useful for samples whose actual SSL solids concentrations are...
The presence in rat liver microsomes of an enzyme system
which demethylates N-methylhydrazines and azo compounds to formaldehyde
has been reported. Some of the compounds found to be
substrates were monomethylhydrazine, N-isopropyl-α-(2-methylhydrazino)-
p-toluamide and the azo derivative of the latter hydrazine. This
enzyme can be classified as a mixed function...
Studies were conducted on artificially infected susceptible and
resistant barley varieties in an attempt to determine the effect of
barley yellow dwarf virus on the growth and development of these
plants. A resistant and a susceptible variety were infected at four
stages of growth and harvested at two stages. Roots,...
