Several experiments were conducted to examine the toxicity of Senecio jacobaea (SJ) in animals resistant to pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) intoxication and to determine the extent of alterations in mineral metabolism as a result of SJ intoxication. Inclusion of SJ into diets containing added copper (Cu) resulted in increased (P<.01) liver...
Fermentation of the grape must into wine is one of the most important steps in winemaking. Selected yeast strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been used for many years to ensure complete and even fermentations. The formation of volatile compounds also occurs during fermentation and will influence the sensory perception of...
Wines were made from Pinot Noir and White Riesling grapes
which had received field application rates of 2 and 4 lb./acre of the
experimental bird repellent Mesurol (methiocarb or 3, 5 dimethyl-
4(methylthio)phenylmethylcarbamate). In addition, Pinot Noir must
and press juice and White Riesling press juice were fortified with
15...
Many climatic factors influence grape berry composition including nutrient status, water availability, biotic stress, sun exposure and temperature. Previous research examined the effects of many factors listed above and much progress has been made. It is often difficult, however, to separate effects that typically confound each other, such as sun...
Studies towards the total synthesis of (−)-kendomycin (1), a bacterial metabolite with
a unique molecular architecture and pronounced biological activity, are described. These
studies resulted in the synthesis of advanced intermediate 208, containing all of the
carbon atoms of 1.
A Dötz annulation between alkyne 122 and novel chromium carbenoid...
There is an increasing need for development of laboratory
identification procedures for purposes of plant variety protection, seed certification, quality control and consumer protection. In the past there were fewer commercial varieties and field
testing methods based on morphological differences were used satisfactorily. These tests require several months to complete...
The kraft and kraft-anthraquinone pulping processes were used
for pulping Douglas-fir chips at 170°C, 180°C and 190°C temperatures.
Anthraquinone was added to the pulping liquor at two levels, 0.1%
and 0.2% based on wood, to study its effect on pulp delignification
at the three temperatures. The fluorescent behaviors of kraft...
My thesis examines a total of fourteen characters from The Portrait of a Lady and The Turn of the Screw. Primarily, I have discovered an overwhelming pattern in these two works by Henry James; when characters make direct entrances--that is when they are not described or discussed in absentia by...
