Effects of temperature and growth stage on
vegetative bud development and stem hardiness of red-osier
dogwood during winter dormancy were investigated.
Results were related to a degree growth stage model and
were used to develop models to predict growth stages, to
quantify development, and to predict hardiness.
Maximum rest development...
There are presently two successful methods used to refine fish muscle proteins: surimi and fish protein isolate (FPI). Both surimi and FPI have the ability to form an elastic gel upon comminution and heating. However, their gelation behaviors are different as they are refined in a biochemically opposite way based...
While the importance of international trade in fish products has long been recognized, international trade in fishing services (TIFS), involving harvesting, processing, transportation and marketing has received but little attention. Yet, one half of the world’s EEZs involve foreign fishing arrangements, resulting in such trade. The World Bank report, Trade...

The internal charge versus phosphor field (Q-Fp) technique is proposed as a method for characterization of the electrical properties of alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices. Q-Fp analysis provides direct information about the internal behavior of the ACTFEL device. The steady-state field and internal conduction, polarization, leakage, and relaxation charges may...
Inland fisheries in the Tonlesap Lake of Cambodia play an essential role in providing with protein and cash income to the poor around the lake. However, the fisheries face a crisis of fish resource depletion due to excessive catch, water pollution and decline in the water level of the Lake....
Atmospheric particulate matter, collected over the polluted east Asia/Pacific region in spring 2001 during research flights with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) C-130 aircraft, was analyzed for different types of organic compounds using capillary gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. More than 70 organic species were detected in the aerosols and...
Feeding of [3-¹³C, 2-¹⁵N]arginine, 38a, unequivocally established that the β-
arginine moiety of blasticidin S, 1, was formed from α-arginine by an intramolecular
migration of the α-amino group to the β- position. Further feedings using chirally
deuteriated arginines 38e and 38f revealed that the aminomutase process occurred with
inversion of...
The organic compound tracers of atmospheric particulate matter, as well as organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC), have been characterized for samples acquired during the Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-Asia) from Gosan, Jeju Island, Korea, from Sapporo, Japan, and from Chichi-jima Island in the western North Pacific,...
