Three genetically different dwarf cultivars of spring wheat were
evaluated as potential sources of short stature to use in a wheat improvement
program. The study involved a five parent diallel cross
which included a semidwarf, a standard height and three dwarf cultivars.
The genetic sources of dwarfism included a Norma...
This investigation was motivated by the apparent increase in genetic
variability resulting from the systematic combining of gene pools
represented by winter and spring types of wheats.
It was the objective of this study to provide information regarding
the nature of this genetic variability for nine agronomic characters
in populations...

Direct seeding techniques often result in unsatisfactory outcomes in rangeland rehabilitation, primarily because of low seedling emergence and poor establishment. Seed processing techniques aimed at improving seedling emergence have gained interest by pasture managers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the combined effects of bracteole removal and seeding...
The post-translational modification of proteins by electrophilic oxylipids is emerging as an important mechanism that contributes to the complexity of proteomes. Enzymatic and non-enzymatic oxidation of biological lipids results in the formation of chemically diverse electrophilic carbonyl compounds, such as 2-alkenals and 4-hydroxy alkenals, epoxides and eicosanoids with reactive cyclopentenone...
This report investigates the use of wood to fuel a
trimburner incorporated in a combined-cycle, biomass-fired
power plant. The term "trimburner" applies to a
ductburner which is designed to boost the temperature of
the air stream entering the gas turbine. The work
presented here is part of a larger biomass...
The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of
job stressors in student services professionals. The research
procedures examined the functional aspects of a position with
four dimensions of job stressors: role-based stress, conflictresolution
stress, task-based stress, and stress due to the inefficiency
of others. The independent variables...
