A study of the relative rates of the alkyl hydrogen abstraction
from a series of meta and para substituted t-butylbenzenes by the
chlorine atom at 70°C has been carried out. Application of the
Hammett equation yielded a ρ value of -0.44 for the para compounds.
Possible explanations for the non-linearity...
Raw and biologically stabilized Kraft mill effluents were introduced
into laboratory artificial streams at a ratio of 15 ml per liter
of water over a two year period. Effluent from the stabilization pond
of a second mill was introduced at concentrations of from 5 to 40 ml
per liter of...
Due to the scarcity of information concerning the oxidase systems
in cranberries the peroxidase, catalase, and polyphenolase systems,
which are used as biochemical indexes of adequacy for enzyme inactivation
in other fruits and vegetables, were investigated.
Enzyme extracts were prepared from acetone powders with and
without phenol-binding agents such as...
The effect of heterozygosity on the phenotypic stabilities of six
morphological plant characteristics was studied in hybrid crosses of
two self-pollinated barley species Hordeum vulgare L., emend Lam.
and Hordeum distichum L., emend Lam. Experimental material
consisting of parents and their F₁ diallel progeny were grown at two
field locations...
Most raw product received at processing plants in Oregon is sampled to determine quality characteristics as a basis of grower payment. Raw product sampling procedures must provide the processor with a means of sampling which will be sufficiently precise to satisfy himself as well, as his growers, and thus avoid...
