Studies were conducted in 1969 and 1970 to evaluate the
effectiveness of an experimental herbicide, SD 30053 (alanine,
N-benzoyl-N-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-, ethyl ester), for wild oat
(Avena fatua L.) control in winter cereals.
The 1969 field studies showed that postemergence applications
of SD 30053 were effective in controlling wild oats. Wild...
The purpose of this study was to determine if a significant
difference in cognitive achievement and retention occurred when skeletal
system anatomy and terminology were presented utilizing either videotaped
presentations or a traditional laboratory procedure.
Fifty-three first semester nursing students enrolled in biology
(Bio. 160 anatomy and physiology) at Lethbridge...
The preservation of land, such as wetlands and agricultural
lands, is often pursued through traditional methods such as zoning or
eminent domain. Transferable Development Rights provides a different
approach to the preservation of land by allowing the sale and transfer
of development rights from land to be protected to land...
This study was conducted to delineate the cause or causes of
winter deaths in deer and to provide information from which emergency

Parental and segregating populations derived from four winter x
spring wheat crosses were investigated to obtain information concerning
the inheritance and association of earliness, grain yield and yieldrelated
traits. Feasibility of selecting in early generations for these
characteristics was also evaluated. Four winter wheat cultivars
(Hyslop, Yamhill, Bezostaia 1, and...
Tests were carried on in growth chambers and in the field to
determine if the harvest of daylength-sensitive long-day cereals
grown during the winter in Arizona could be hastened 30 days by the
use of night interruption.
Two durum lines which were near-isogenic for sensitivity to
daylength were used throughout...
The photolysis of the aqueous thymine system has been investigated
at 214 nm, 229 nm and 254 nm at room temperature. Products
of photolysis have been identified as hydrogen peroxide, 6-hydroxy-5-
hydroperoxy thymine and tentatively 5-hydroxy-6-hydroperoxy thymine.
These together with thymine loss, were determined quantitatively
under a variety of conditions....
