English holly culture in Oregon has been threatened by the
development of red leaf spots which prevent sale of cut holly.
Chemical, mechanical and insect injury and boron deficiency have
been shown in the past to cause different types of red leaf spotting,
but the cause of holly scab, a...
An investigation was conducted on parental influence
on adolescent's consumer activities in Malaysia. A total
of 4287 Form Four students from 32 randomly selected
schools, with 80 percent of their parents, participated in
this study. A majority of the adolescents were staying
with parents in rural areas. The adolescents received...
The effects of possible operating variables such as flow rate, surface temperature, bulk temperature, solids contents, sulfate addition and pH on the fouling of sulfite spent evaporators were studied. The study pointed out that the Ca⁺⁺ concentration difference between heated surface and bulk is the most important factor for fouling...
Seed yield in perennial ryegrass is the product of yield components
that develop during the life of the plant. Crop yield potential is
defined by the number of fertile tillers, spikelets per spike, and
florets per spikelet. It has been shown that perennial ryegrass
realizes only a small percentage of...
This study consists of three parts: 1) Part A: Limiting Height Evaluation for
Composite Wall Tests, 2) Part B: Mid-Span Deflection Evaluation for Composite Wall
Tests, and 3) Part C: Nominal Axial Strength Evaluation for Wall-Braced Wall Stud
Columns.
The purpose of Part A is to develop experimentally-based limiting heights...
The major historical studies that have examined American
biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at
the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the
descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than
important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application
of...
Studies in other laboratories have established the presence of
the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway and the pentose phosphate
(PP) pathway in plant tissue. Research in this laboratory with mung
bean (Phaseolus aureus) seedlings has confirmed the presence of these
two pathways as well as the glucuronic acid (GA) pathway. However,
no...
