Sardines and anchovies are small pelagic fishes that support important commercial fisheries around the world. This project reviews the inverse cyclic behavior in the abundance of these two stocks, which is a striking feature in many regions. In addition, the project used qualitative loop analysis techniques to analyze the feasible...
Various antifoulant treatment programs and the
considerations necessary for the effective use of such
programs were examined.
Two different groups of tests, with and without
iron contamination, have been carried out on the
effectiveness of several of the state-of-the-art
copolymers (PA, HEDP, AA/HPA, AA/MA, SS/MA and AA/SA) in
the inhibition...
The knowledge about the intensive agricultural irrigation is very limited, but the use of irrigation is rapidly increasing. As an outcome, the sympathetic ecosystem is accepting modern irrigation that will play an essential function in the present and future for agricultural products. My dissertation will display the modification for investigation...
Rice is an important crop that feeds almost half the world population. As climate change models predict floods, drought and extreme temperatures in rice production areas, the need to better understand the genetic basis of adaptation and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses is vital to sustain our food supply....
A field study was conducted in the Willamette Valley near
Corvallis, Oregon, to determine the influence of seedling rate,
drill row spacing, grass association, and variety on the yield
of dry matter and quality (crude protein content and leafiness)
of alfalfa. Treatments included seeding rates of 7.5, 10, 15 and...
In this research, a novel shunt compensation scheme
design procedure is developed for unbalanced, untransposed
n-phase transmission lines. The main function of the
scheme is to reduce the effect of the capacitive coupling
on untransposed transmission lines to levels where successful
single-pole switching is assured. The analysis procedure
is carried...
Dekalb XL Single Comb White Leghorn pullets were
immunized against poly-L-glutamic acid (PGA) complexed with
methylated bovine serum albumin (MBSA) at 9 weeks of age.
Pullets immunized against MBSA as well as non-immunized
pullets served as controls. At 18 weeks of age, pullets
were moved from a floor pen into...
The objective of this research was to clarify the basis
of subfertility in Delaware roosters. It was anticipated
that a sensitive method would be needed to compare seminal
plasma protein composition between subfertile and fertile
roosters. Consequently, the applicability of two-dimensional
electrophoresis was tested as a tool for the
analysis...
