I. REPRODUCTION AND LAMB PRODUCTION Relationships among hemoglobin (Hb) genotypes and reproduction and production traits were examined in 294 four- and five-year-old North Country Cheviot, Dorset, Finnsheep or Romney x Suffolk or Columbia-type crossbred ewes. Hb BB ewe lambs were youngest at first estrus and Hb AA ewe lambs were...
The purpose of this investigation is to explore research management
problems pertaining to types of research where direct outputs are
in terms of intangible ideas or the kind of knowledge which takes years
to be proven applicable or economically fruitful.
The study was based on the analysis of the more...
Cereal crops cultivated in Mali, Mauritania and Senegal consist
primarily of sorghum, millet, rice and maize. They form the gramineous
crops that, are programmed for the agricultural improvement of
the Senegal River Basin. Twelve economically important insect pests
on these crops were selected for study and treated with regard to...
The pressure drop for two-phase liquid-liquid flow is theoretically
predicted for each flow regime. Empirical correlations, which
are applicable in all flow regimes, are also presented for holdup as
well as pressure drop.
The experimental study covered bubble and drop flow regimes.
The discontinuous phase was injected by nozzle into...
This paper is an attempt to summarize our actual knowledge about the marine resources available in the area. It also analyzes the situation of the fishery and the principal aspects involved in a possible plan for an integral fisheries development of the Oceanic region around the islands. This plan could...

Claytonia perfoliata is a west-American polyploid complex of
common annuals (x=6). The species is polymorphic; exomorphic
characters are often variable within local populations. In a transect
of the Columbia River Gorge diploids, tetraploids, hexaploids, octoploids,
and decaploids were collected, which varied in shape of basal
and cauline leaves, degree of...
Diclofop (2- [4 -(2, 4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy] propanoic
acid), formulated as the methyl ester, selectively kills
barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus -galli (L.) Beauv.] in several
crops when applied postemergence. Studies were conducted
to determine the effect of soil moisture, barnyardgrass age, and site of exposure on control of barnyardgrass with diclofop. Soil moisture...
A simulation model capable of execution on a programmable
calculator was developed to study voluntary intake,
liveweight change, and fertility of grade Zebu cows in the
Llanos of Colombia. Organic nitrogen in the diet and meta
bolic weight were used to predict intake; age, liveweight,
and energy concentration were the...
This research project is an historical case study of the conflict
which evolved from the deliberations and subsequent implementation
of bilingual education in Central School District 13J, Independence,
Oregon. The time period under consideration spans 35 months,
beginning in August 1974, when district officials first proposed bilingual
education, and ending...
The interrelationships between physical measurements, dietary
intake of specific nutrients, and plasma lipids were examined in 19
healthy elderly subjects. The mean blood pressures, relative weights,
and skinfold thicknesses were within normal ranges, although women
tended to be more overweight. Systolic pressure and relative weight
were associated with increased body...
Steryl glycoside is synthesized from mevalonate [2- ¹⁴C] in both maturing pea seeds and etiolated pea seedlings. The maturing seed appeared more active than the seedlings for this synthesis. The sugar moiety was identified predominantly as glucose by acid hydrolysis and paper chromatography of the aqueous extract of the hydrolysate....
This analysis of Colombia's System of National Park Reservations
accomplishes four objectives: 1) The historical development of national
parks in Colombia was described; 2) The status, as of August,
1974, of the areas administered by the Colombian Renewable Natural
Resources Development Institute (INDERENA) was summarized; 3) An
analysis of major...
