A method was developed for converting the food producing capabilities
of Oregon's soils to numerical data from which state and county
carrying capacities for human populations could be calculated. Another
method was developed for converting the needs for housing and related
support construction to numerical data which would consume cultivated...
Four experimental groups were designed to examine the effects of a "greens" dietary supplement (wheat clippings), as well as individual versus group-housing, on the adrenal and reproductive physiology of Microtus canicaudus. Organ culture of adrenal glands, thin-layer chromatography, and fluorescence analysis of steroid-containing medium were used to quantitatively assess adrenal...
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....
