The investigations were based on a complete diallel cross
among three inbred lines of Hereford cattle. Records of Angus calves
born during the same period were used to obtain more accurate
estimates of environmental effects and to determine breed differences
among the various traits included in the study. Estimates of...
This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of four
methods of incorporating the herbicide trifluralin into the soil, and
to determine the interaction between depth of incorporation of trifluralin
and depth of weed seed germination.
Field experiments on green and dry peas were established in
Oregon and Idaho. Trifluralin,...
A quality problem that frequently occurs with frozen green beans
is the sloughing of the skin (epidermal tissues) of the cooked, ready-to-
serve bean pods. It was found that by giving the beans a pre-blanch
(relatively mild heat treatment) prior to the blanch treatment normally
used for frozen green beans,...
The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of
dietary magnesium, potassium and nitrogen on hypomagnesemia.
Rats and dairy cattle were used as experimental animals. In the
rat experiments, 270 albino rats, Mus norvegicus albinus, were
used on 27 synthetic diets consisting of three levels each of casein...
An experimental study was made of acoustic switching of
pneumatic turbulence amplifiers. The development of fluidic devices
was generally reviewed, and the operation of the pneumatic turbulence
amplifiers made for testing was described. The characteristics
of the turbulence amplifiers were experimentally determined
and found to be typical for this type...
This report presents tables of suspended-sediment data collected from 1956 to 1967 at 10 sites in the Umpqua River basin. Computations based on these data indicate that average annual suspended-sediment yields at these sites range from 137 to 822 tons per square mile.
Because available data for the Umpqua River...
