The recent multistate outbreak of
a multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella Heidelberg
strain from commercial poultry production highlights
the need to better understand the reservoirs of these
zoonotic pathogens within the commercial poultry production
and processing environment. As part of a larger
study looking at temporal changes in microbial communities
within the...
In January-February 1971 five replicate 0.07 m² Van Veen grabs
were obtained from each of 12 stations in Arthur Harbor and nine Van
Veen grabs were obtained from two stations in nearby Bismark Strait.
The 69 grab samples yielded 78,395 individuals which were separated
into 282 taxa, including 108 species...
Present GEK (Geomagnetic Electrokinetograph) theory is extended
to include internal waves of the lowest mode. The predicted
towed electrode GEK signal is determined to second-order for long-crested
internal waves in a finite but deep ocean. The analysis includes
the determination of GEK signatures for small amplitude and
finite amplitude interfacial...
Improvements have been made to the spatial coherence method for automatically determining cloud-free ocean radiances in satellite imagery by incorporating the spectral signatures of reflecting surfaces. The spatial coherence method relies on the fact that small-scale cloud-free regions typically exhibit uniform emission and uniform reflection. While small-scale overcast regions typically...
The value per-acre and annual amortization of
rural land varies dynamically by parcel size. There are
several adjustment factors or independent variables
spatial, productive and development potential which affect
the market value of all rural land. The evaluation of
these must be accomplished by parcel size to be realistically
equated....
An on-line trace enrichment (TE) system, based on high pressure
liquid chromatogroaphy (HPLC) and flame atomic absorption (AA), has
been developed for trace metal analysis. The sample is pumped through
a column filled with a cation exchange resin which traps metal ions.
The ions are subsequently stripped from the column...
Acetylbenzoyl reacted with dimethylamine hydrochloride
and benzaldehyde in primary isoamyl alcohol under
reflux conditions to form 1,4-diphenvl-3-butene-1,2-dione,
compound I, which melted at 56-57°C.
Compound I formed a quinoxaline derivative, compound
II, which melted at 152.5-153°C.
Compound I was cleaved by hydrogen peroxide to form
cinnamic acid, compound III, which melted...
