Rehabilitation of Bully Creek Reservoir, its tributaries, and segments of the Malheur River system was completed in 1963. All waters treated supported large populations of undesirable fish. The treatment procedures are discussed by project segment within the report. A portion of the funds was appropriated by the U. S. Bureau...
"Crested wheatgrass, beardless wheatgrass, and big bluegrass were
seeded as overstory grasses. Streambank wheatgrass, canby bluegrass,
bulbous bluegrass, and Ladak alfalfa were seeded as companion species.
Pure and mixed stands were seeded on sagebrush-bunchgrass
range in eastern Oregon to compare yield and competitiveness. The
grasses were planted in 1956, 1957,...
The single-cross and most F₂ progenies of 19 genotypes of
tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea, Schreb. ) were used to study the
breeding behavior of forage yield. Parental genotypes were selected
for high self-sterility, high chromogen and high crude protein. These
were studied in two groups of nine intermediate and ten...
A liquid sulfur dioxide battery, such as K/KCl SbCl₅ (0.25
molar) + IBr₃ (15 %wt) + SO₂ (1)/carbon matrix is shown to have an
open circuit voltage greater than 3.70 volts and an initial voltage of
3.15 volts, decreasing to 2.40 volts in 10 minutes at a current density
of...
The purpose of this project was to study the reactions of 1-(α-pyridyl)-3-buten-1-ol (compound I) and to determine whether or
not the products of some of its reactions are quinolizinium salts.
Reaction of compound I with bromine or iodine yields halide
salts (when no external cooling is applied) instead of the...
Some forms of bacterial respiration do not involve molecular
oxygen but instead utilize other hydrogen acceptors for oxidation
of the substrate. Various organic and inorganic acceptors may be
used. In the present study, the inorganic radicals, nitrate and
nitrite, were investigated. Preliminary evidence indicated that
nitrate and oxygen are able...
Because the life processes of the plant are related in a complex
way to the balance between the water demand of the atmosphere and
the water availability to the plant root, an exploration of the dynamic
status of water in the plant is very important. The stomata constitute
the main...
