  • Effects of fall lifting and long-term freezer storage on ponderosa pine seedling physiology and quality

    Creator:
    Omi, Steven Katsu
    Abstract:
    Two-year-old ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) seedlings from two Oregon seed sources were lifted three times in the fall, stored below freezing (-1.5°C), and compared to seedlings that were handled conventionally (spring lifting followed by short-term cold storage, 2-4°C). Based on patterns of budbreak in a greenhouse and...

  • Effects of shade on performance and chlorophyll fluorescence of four Pacific Northwest seedling conifer species

    Creator:
    Khan, Shafiqur Rehman
    Abstract:
    The influence of shading intensity on performance, chlorophyll fluorescence emissions, the slope of the fluorescence induction curve, chlorophyll contents, and stomatal conductance of four Pacific Northwest conifer species [ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), western redcedar (Thujaplicata Donn.), and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.)] was...

  • Pathways of glucose utilization and ribose synthesis in the chick embryo

    Creator:
    Coffey, Ronald Gibson
    Abstract:
    The production of C¹⁴O₂ metabolized from glucose labeled in specific carbon atoms by homogenates of chick embryonic and adult heart was compared by the radiorespirometric technique. Homogenates of early (two to five days of incubation) embryo hearts were found to utilize the phosphogluconate pathway of glucose catabolism to a greater...

  • Preparation and properties of Bentone ointment bases

    Creator:
    Billups, Norman Fredrick
    Abstract:
    A study has been made of ointment bases prepared from mineral oil thickened with Bentone 38 gellant. The experimental work was divided into two distinct parts: (1) the development of ointment bases using the Bentone gellants, and (2) subsequent comparison of these bases with White Petrolatum, Plastibase Hydrophilic, and other...

  • Protein synthesis in Sarcophaga bullata

    Creator:
    Allen, Robert Roy
    Abstract:
    An investigation was made into certain aspects of protein synthesis at different developmental stages of the flesh fly Sarcophaga bullata. This included measurements of the incorporation of labeled amino acids into protein by intact cells from a single organ, the larval fat body, and a study of amino acid activating...

  • Dermatitic effect of nonionic surfactants

    Creator:
    Mezei, Michael
    Abstract:
    Selected nonionic surface active agents, incorporated in various ointment bases, were applied to normal rabbit skin daily in an attempt to determine their chronic toxicity. The dermatitic effects of these surfactant preparations were evaluated by three methods: gross observation, histological examination and biochemical techniques. The results indicated that the tested...

  • Carnitine and derivatives in embryonic chick tissues

    Creator:
    Casillas, Edmund Rene
    Abstract:
    Carnitine, acetylcarnitine, and long-chain acylcarnitine concentrations were determined for heart, brain, and liver of chick embryos during various stages of development. The total carnitine concentration was approximately the same in all three organs and showed only small variations during development. Acetylcarnitine was not detected in any organ until the seventeenth...

  • The static and dynamic analysis of discretely represented moorings and cables by numerical means

    Creator:
    Dominguez, Richard Frank
    Abstract:
    Computer oriented techniques and procedures are presented for the analysis of single and multiple cable systems. Application is made to a two-point mooring system influenced by surface and subsurface hydrodynamic loading. The effects of the various parameters are presented and the numerical method is compared to exact solutions obtained from...
