During the course of ripening, Cheddar cheese frequently develops
a flavor defect described as fruity. Recent work has indicated
that the use of certain starter cultures ultimately results in the
development of the defect as the cheese ages. The flavor compounds
responsible for the defect, however, have not been elaborated....
A need has existed for an in-depth structural analysis of penstock
bifurcations because they form an integral part of hydroelectric
power plants. Their geometrical complexity has prevented classical
structural analysis from providing an accurate and overall picture of
the stresses in the structure.
Digital computers and the development of finite...
This paper is a summary of a larger project that consolidated
agricultural land use projection information for the Pacific Northwest,
as of January 1979. The characteristics of nine major projection studies
are identified and used as a basis for comparing the relative merits of
each study with regard to: 1)...
Defining the inelastic behavior of nail joints is essential
in the development of a rational design procedure of wood-stud walls.
Prediction equations were developed for the inelastic behavior
of joints commonly found in wood-stud walls. The equations relate
three elastic moduli that define the average inelastic joint stiffness
to the...
A feral pig population on Santa Catalina Island, California, was
studied for 17 months beginning in July 1980. Density was estimated
to be 21 to 34 pigs/km² (95% confidence interval) using capture-recapture
techniques. Dry season home ranges determined from
radio-telemetry data were small and differed significantly between
boars and sows....
This study examines the effect of mood and fairness
of treatment on children's generosity toward peers.
Thirty-one third and nineteen fourth grade males participated.
A positive or negative mood was induced using
recorded stories. Each child then played a ring toss
game for which he had been promised a certain...
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...
