Serum samples were collected between 24 and 48 h of age
from 408 Hereford calves of a selection experiment and from 200
Angus, Hereford and Red Poll calves of another experimental
population (Germ Plasm Utilization project). Concentrations of
Immunoglobulin G₁ (IgG₁) were determined by single radial
immunodiffusion. Breed or selection...
This paper is a study of the fatigue properties of the alloy
columbium - one percent zirconium in reverse bending. This paper
also is a design study of a satisfactory plate reverse bending fatigue
specimen configuration for use with the General Electric PRB pneumatic
testing machine. Selected tensile tests were...
Low nitrogen Chardonnay juice from an Oregon winery was fermented with a series of nutrient supplements, including diammonium phosphate (DAP), Fermaid K, Superfood, yeast extract, yeast hulls and thiamine. These treatments were evaluated for their contribution to the yeast assimilable nitrogen content (YANC) of the juice, which consists of the...
Small-scale fisheries around the world are increasingly facing pressures from a range of environmental, economic, and social sources. In order to sustain the societal benefits of small-scale fisheries, it is imperative to understand how fishing communities adapt to disturbances. Fishermen often catch multiple different species as an adaptation technique because...
This study investigated how manipulating vineyard nitrogen status, irrigation levels and cultivation practices would effect nutrient composition, and anthocyanin and phenolic accumulation in Pinot noir juice and wine from a commercial Willamette Valley Oregon vineyard. Pinot noir fruit was sourced from a vineyard trial in the Benton Lane Vineyard, located...
Fermentation of the grape must into wine is one of the most important steps in winemaking. Selected yeast strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been used for many years to ensure complete and even fermentations. The formation of volatile compounds also occurs during fermentation and will influence the sensory perception of...
More that just magnificent views of atoms and
molecules, Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, STM, images have
the potential to answer some fundamental questions relating
to surface molecular dynamics and bonding characteristics of
localized species versus more common analytical tools that
provide average of bulk sample information. A special
feature of the...
