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,...
The study investigated the prescription drug
purchasing behaviors of independent retail pharmacies,
and selected pharmacy characteristics which may be related
to purchasing behaviors. The purchasing function
was considered as a major area of concern for independent
pharmacies in attempting to improve operating efficiencies,
particularly in view of increased competition
from...
In recent years almost all states have legislated educational
and licensing programs to protect the welfare and property of citizens
engaged in outdoor recreational pursuits. Such programs exist
for automobile, motorcycle, airplane, and snowmobile operators.
However, boating continues to be one of the major recreational outdoor
activities where operators of...
A population of the Douglas-fir cone moth, Barbara colfaxiana
(Kft. ), was studied on the Buckhead Seed Production Area, Oakridge,
Oregon, during 1971 and 1972. A method of estimating cone and
insect populations is presented. Factors contributing to the mortality
of B. colfaxiana are discussed, with resinosis being the critical...
The phenomena known as "phosphorus-induced zinc deficiencies"
are poorly understood. Conclusions drawn from research efforts
designed to identify the mechanism of the phosphorus-zinc interaction
are, in many cases, incompatible. Similarities in the data from
a number of literature reports of "phosphorus-induced zinc deficiencies"
have led to the development of the...
The reaction between 4- chloro- 6- methoxy- 5-nitropyrimidine
and methylamine was investigated. The reaction product was identified
as 4-methoxy-6-methylamino-5-nitropyrimidine from synthesis
of the product via 4-chloro-6-methylamino-5-nitropyrimidine.
The product was the result of displacement of chloro substituent with methylamine. The reaction occured under mild condition (e. g. 15-20
C. in dioxane)....
The yields from the oxidation of 4-methylpyrimidine with potassium permanganate were found to increase from 25 to 92 percent by the addition of small amount of potassium hydroxide to the reaction mixture. Pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid decarboxylates in hot aqueous solution to yield pyrimidine and carbon dioxide. The rate is that decarboxylation...
