In 1960 tests were initiated on the Marion blackberry (Rubus
hybrid) to study the effect of (1) plant spacing, (2) time of training
canes to the trellis and (3) amount of cane to train to the trellis with
regard to fruit bud formation and total yield.
Plant spacing varied with...
Thirty-six gilts were used in an experiment of 2³ factorial
design. The experiment consisted of two breeds (Yorkshire-
Berkshire and Yorkshire), two feeding regimens (pre-breeding and
post-breeding) and two levels of dichlorvos (2, 2-dichlorovinyl
dimethyl phosphate, 0 and 800 mg. per gilt per day). Pre-breeding
treatment consisted of feeding dichlorvos...
Oils, greases, and grit which collect on an aircraft during
flight are removed on the U. S. Air Force washracks using an
alkaline, water-base cleaner. Waste-flows from these washracks
may include in addition to free oils, emulsified oils, and alkaline,
water-base cleaners several other constituents such as acid skin
brightners,...
The theoretical characteristics of space-charge-limited
currents in solids are reviewed, and a survey of
suitable dielectric materials and experimental space-charge-limited devices is presented.
The properties of the gold-silicon contact as used
in space-charge-limited devices were experimentally investigated.
It was found that the observed characteristics
could be explained on the basis...
A survey of scholarly and popular contemporary literature
reveals two persisting stereotypes regarding the
nature of women.
First is the theory that woman is inferior to man
and that since she is the "negative" of man's masculine
nature, she cannot develop her humanity to the fullest
extent without fusion with...
Detoxification of atrazine in soils results from both chemical
hydrolysis and microbial degradation.
Infrared analysis was used
to study the hydrolysis of atrazine upon interaction with soil
colloids
and to ascertain the existence of enol, keto, and protonated-keto
forms of hydroxyatrazine.
Evolution of ¹⁴CO₂ from ¹⁴C-atrazine
and ¹⁴C-hydroxyatrazine was indicative...
Maturation rates of monogerm sugar beet seed grown in Western
Oregon were measured quantitatively to determine attainment of maximum
seed development and germination. Seed was collected at various
intervals after anthesis from two hybrid varieties representing the
extremes in resistance (hard bolting) and susceptibility (easy bolting)
to seedstalk development. The...
Three trials with wethers and four trials with steers were
conducted to determine some of the effects of sodium bicarbonate,
calcium hydroxide and/or transfer of ruminal contents on ruminant
adjustment to abrupt changes to concentrate rations.
Lambs fed a basal concentrate diet plus sodium bicarbonate had
the highest average feed...
