Producing fruit in alternate years (A-Y) in Thornless Evergreen blackberries is economically feasible and a horticulturally sound management practice. The cultural advantages are: less labor is required; pesticide and irrigation requirements are reduced; pesticide timing and application are improved; maturity of fruit is hastened; and mechanical damage to new canes...
The gamma contribution to reactor afterheat
depends on gamma energy since high-energy commas are
more likely to escape from tilt. fuel. The objective of
this work is to investigate the gamma-energy spectrum
of a pure U-235 fission reactor.
Fission-product nuclides are first listed in order'
of importance as contributors to...
A frozen concentrate (>10⁹ cfu/ml) of a human strain of Lactobacillus
lactis (strain MLC) was fed to swine. Bottle feeding resulted
in reduced fecal coliform counts and incidence of scouring in nursing
pigs. In one group of pigs treated 54 days, the Lactobacillus to coliform
ratio was 1280:1; in the...

Prior to onset of the breeding season, a ration containing 18.4 mg/kg N-(Ethylmercuri)-p-toluene sulphonanilide was fed to 6 male and 16 female ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus). Birds
receiving the mercury-treated ration were separated from the opposite sex. After receiving the mercury-treated ration for 0, 2, 4, 8, or 16 days,...
