The German hop Hallertauer, hallertauer is highly
valued because of its "noble aroma", but it has a very low
yield when cultivated in the U.S. Two new crosses of
Hallertauer, U.S.D.A. 21455 and 21459, have high yields
and promising aroma characteristics.
In order to predict sensory properties of beers as...
Previous research has suggested that the use of more authentic learning activities can produce more robust and durable knowledge gains. This is consistent with calls within civil engineering education, specifically hydrology, that suggest that curricula should more often include professional perspective and data analysis skills to better develop the ‘T-shaped’...
Describes the symptoms and damage caused by silver scurf, a fungal disease of potatoes. Includes color photos of symptoms. Discusses sources of inoculum and the disease life cycle. Suggests management practices (seed selection, crop rotation, seed treatments, management of die-down, sanitation, harvest, and storage) to minimize disease problems.
This publication addresses the emergent issue in the Pacific Northwest of a potato infection called zebra chip disease, vectored by the potato psyllid. Includes information on the bacterium, the biology of the vector, description of damage from both vector and non-vector psyllids, and most current research on management.
Silver scurf is caused by a fungus, Helminthosporium solani, a relatively new problem related to potato production in North America. It wasn’t until the early 1990s that this fungus was identified as being a serious problem in the Pacific Northwest. This fungus produces a surface blemish on tubers, causing them...
Dispersing hydrophilic nanofillers in highly hydrophobic polymer matrices is widely used to tune the mechanical properties of composite material systems. The ability to control the dispersion of fillers is closely related to the mechanical tunability of such composites. In this work, we investigate the physical–chemical underpinnings of how simple end-group...

Production of Kþ mesons in charged-current νμ interactions on plastic scintillator (CH) is measured using MINERvA exposed to the low-energy NuMI beam at Fermilab. Timing information is used to isolate a sample of 885 charged-current events containing a stopping Kþ which decays at rest. The differential cross section in Kþ...
