Each year, after crabs molt, there is a time when their shells are soft, and are not filled up with crab meat. This soft-shelled state is undesirable for fishers. Since the timing of molting varies from year to year, it is difficult for fishery managers to set the start date...
"During the summer of 1961, a seafood dealer at Charleston, Oregon hired SCUBA ... divers to harvest clams in subtidal areas with hydraulic equipment. This operation proved to be quite efficient and was attended by considerable publicity. During the summer of 1962, several commercial and personal-use diggers equipped themselves with...
The objectives of this study were to isolate 2, 4-diaminobutyric
acid and to attempt cyclizing the acid and its disulfonamide derivative.
The original synthetic method by Adamson was followed but a
modified isolation procedure for the acid was employed.
Following the synthesis, the acidic solution was passed through
Dowex-3 ion-exchange...
To study the association between Fusarium root-rot resistance
(Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli) and economically inportant characteristics
of beans, 2259 lines each consisting of 30 plants were used.
The lines were randomly selected for root-rot reaction, but were
selected for differences in vigor and differences in plant and seed
pigments,...
In order to examine some possible tyrosyl interactions, poly-tyrosyl lysozyme and poly-O-methyltyrosyl lysozyme were prepared and their solubilities were compared. Both derivatives exhibited
similar pH dependent solubilities, showing a minimum solubility at
about pH 8. Their solubilities varied with temperature, having a
positive enthalpy of solution. The effect of a...
Polypeptidyl derivatives of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease
(RNase) containing two or three tyrosine chains
with an average of two to three residues per chain have
been prepared. The effects of various perturbants such as
neutral salts, ethanol, urea and guanidine hydrochloride
on the thermal transition of the derivatives have been
studied....
