Yeast biocontrol agents that were applied to 'Bose' and 'Anjou' pears in the field up to three weeks prior to harvest were found to survive on the fruit at high population levels on both pear varieties. Cryptococcus infirmo-miniatus, Cryptococcus laurentii, and Rhodotorula glutinis maintained populations averaging 5 x 10⁶ cfu/fruit...
The Tillamook and Kilchis subbasins of the Tillamook Bay watershed (Oregon Coast Range) have differences in geology and land use history and, therefore, varied environmental conditions that could affect fish assemblages. Fifty-two randomly selected wadeable stream reaches in these two subbasins were surveyed for stream habitat and fish assemblage composition...
With increased resource development on the western Arctic coastal plain of Alaska (especially within the oil extraction industry) it is important to understand the basic life history attributes of whitefish stocks in the region in order to ensure appropriate management. These fish are a crucial part of subsistence harvests for...
Salmonid populations in the Pacific Northwest are at historic lows and many
populations continue to decline. Previous studies have linked salmonid declines to land
use through degradation of in-stream physical habitat, but few of these studies have taken
geology into consideration. This study relates habitat parameters known to be important...
Hens were artificially inseminated at 8:00 a.m., 4:00 p.m.
and 11:50 p.m. Fertility was found to be significantly lower after
8:00 a.m. inseminations than after 4:00 p.m. or 11:50 p.m. inseminations
for 2 to 6 days, 2 to 9 days and 10 to 17 days following inseminations.
Slightly higher fertility...
To observe the effects of oviposition as related to time of insemination
on fertility, four trials were conducted in which individually
caged White Leghorn hens were artificially inseminated with 0.05 cc
of undiluted mixed semen obtained from 4 to 5 cockerels. These inseminations
were made at 9:45 a.m. , 10:00...
An attempt was made to create a hormonal environment of the
uterus comparable to that near the time of natural laying and to
eliminate the effect of a hard-shelled egg on fertilization. Hens without
hard-shelled eggs in their uteri were injected with the posterior
pituitary hormones, oxytocin and arginine vasopressin,...
In today’s world, we are highly dependent on software systems together with devices for almost every task in our day to day life. Software system upgrades are released whenever it is necessary to accommodate the ever-changing user’s needs. The devices we use to run the software systems might be of...
