Ethylene was produced by Cylindrocladium floridanum and C. scoparium in culture. Production was methionine dependent and maximal during the active growth phase of the fungus, beginning shortly after spore germination. More ethylene was produced sooner by C. floridanum than C. scoparium. Ethylene was produced by Cylindrocladium both from active mycelium...
The genus Lichnanthe Burmeister contains eight extant and one
fossil species which are strictly nearctic in distribution. The
subfamily Glaphyrinae, however, is distributed nearly world-wide.
Five species were previously described and three are described as
new herein. All eight extant species are described in detail herein,
synonomies are made current,...
This investigation was designed to determine the general achievement,
ability to solve applied problems, and attitude toward the role of
mathematics in science of college calculus students grouped in an
experimental class according to academic major during their first
three terms. The subgroups were biology-business, mathematics,
and science-engineering majors. The...
In a series of 30 winter wheat fertilizer experiments conducted in the Willamette Valley between 1963 and 1969, optimum rates of nitrogen fertilization varied from 75 to 150 pounds per acre. Fertilization with N, particularly at the-higher rates, increased the protein content of the grain.
Spring-applied N gave greater yield...
The conceptual framework of an erosion model has been designed to link processes of mass wasting, surface erosion, and channel storage and transport. A program to stimulate mass wasting will be based on a variation of the factor of safety approach which balances forces tending to drive mass movement against...
The ability of mercury to inhibit β - galactosidase activity from
cell-free extracts of Streptococcus lactis, Escherichia colt and
intestinal homogenates of hogs, female rats, and humans was studied. Mercuric acetate was added in vitro to all sources of β - galactosidase except for the rats, which were placed on...
The Thomas Kay Woolen Mill once manufactured cloth with a
reputation renowned throughout the United States. This study is an
attempt to report the history of the mill. Data are categorized by:
the Kay family; production including plant, machinery, raw materials
used, goods manufactured; management including the effects of
national...
Fourier techniques have recently become popular for the
description of underwater image transmission. Two properties
necessary for the application of Fourier techniques to any system
are those of linearity and invariance. This work describes a
laboratory investigation of these properties for a variety of
aqueous media. The hypothesis is found...
A variational integral method in the Fourier transform domain is
used to calculate the characteristic normal mode parameters of a coupled
pair of nonsymmetrical microstrip transmission lines in an inhomogenous
dielectric medium under quasi-TEM conditions. These together with the
theory of such structures are used to show that ideal directional...
Public Trust Doctrine. is a legal theory substantive enough for private citizens to utilize as a comprehensive legal approach to resource management problems. The doctrine is ultimately derived from the notion of governmental responsibility to hold lands in trust for beneficial use by the public.
The governmental title to lands...
Purpose of the Study:
The purpose of this study was to identify and compare the current
written philosophical expressions of industrial arts with the
acceptance of these by select groups of industrial arts teacher educators.
Procedure:
The data for this study were obtained through the use of a
questionnaire derived...
The purpose of this study was to contrast the effectiveness of
computer-assisted ear-training instruction with the traditional style
of ear-training instruction to determine if computer-assisted instruction
increased the students' ability to identify auditory stimuli utilized
in Basic Musicianship at a rate different from that of the traditional
methodology.
Procedures
The...

The purpose of this study was to locate and analyze experimental
studies of teacher training that tested elements of Bandura's
social learning theory. Bandura's theory emphasizes the role of
modeling in the acquisition of new modes of interpersonal behavior,
and it also provides for the integration of practice and feedback...
