This study of Oregon secondary school teachers was designed
to find why individuals had chosen this particular career, what
they think of their positions, what time of their lives they chose
teaching as a career, and what their career plans are for the
future. The respondents were full-time Oregon secondary...
The effects of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on photosynthesis and
various partial reactions involving the individual photoreactions of
photosynthesis were examined. These reactions included photo-reduction in adapted green algae, Hill reaction, cyclic photophosphorylation,
the 520 nm absorbance change and variable-yield fluorescence.
The reactions were measured in spinach chloroplasts and
isolated chloroplasts...
Several studies were conducted to determine if a more consistent
predictor of phytotoxicity to winter oats could be obtained with a
surfactant-herbicide ratio or a per-unit-volume concentration of surfactant,
independent of volume. The herbicides tested were 2,2-dichloropropionic acid (dalapon), 1,1'-dimethyl-4, 4'-bipyridinium
(paraquat), and 3-tert-butyl-5-chloro-6-methyluracil (terbacil) with
the nonionic surfactant X-77...

This investigation was conducted to differentiate the esterases
in a water extract of freeze-dried green beans on the basis of inhibitor
and substrate specificities. An attempt was made to classify
these esterases according to the criteria used for animal esterases.
Activity of the esterases was measured manometrically using
the Gilson...
Substrate and inhibitor specificities have been used to classify
esterases. The purpose of this work was to determine the substrate
and inhibitor specificities of the esterases in an aquous extract of
lyophilyzed carrots.
Esterase activity was determined manometrically at 37°C. The
optimum pH of the carrot esterases with several substrates...
