Anisogramma anomala causes a stem canker of filberts, Corylus avellana. This disease became a threat to the main U.S. filbert growing region when it was introduced into the Pacific Northwest around 1968. Various methods of artificially inoculating filbert trees and seeds were explored. Less than 1% of potted filbert trees...
Germination of meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.) seed is inhibited by warm soil temperatures. This has led to recommendations for planting from early to mid-October when soil temperatures are below about 15°C. Objective data on the effects of planting date on stand establishment and yield are not available. These studies were...
Napropamide [2-(alpha-naphthoxyl)-N,N-diethylpropionamide], a
preemergence herbicide, is widely used in the United States on a
variety of tree fruits, nut crops, vegetables, and mint for annual
grass and broadleaf weed control. When napropamide has been left on
the soil surface without incorporation through irrigation or mechanical means, inconsistent results have been...
Micropaleontological data have been analyzed through mathematical
and statistical procedures, in order to: (1) establish the distribution
pattern of radiolarian assemblages in the surface sediments,
(2) establish the relationship of these assemblages with oceanographic
variables, (3) determine the faunal composition down-core with
respect to the faunal surface pattern, and (4)...
Larval mortality of leafcutting bee, Megachile pacifica (Panzer)
(= rotundata (F.)), is high, usually exceeding 50%. Parasites and
predators are not a limiting factor in the survival of the progeny.
The disease chalk brood has been an important mortality factor since
1974. Inadequate food supply, pollen and nectar, may affect...
Ragay Gulf and Burias Pass are among the traditional fishing grounds of the
country being considered by the government for an integrated approach to fishery
management (Smith, et al., 1980; Samson, et al., 1977, World Bank, 1976). The
Department of Marine Fisheries, College of Fisheries, University of the Philippines in...
Obesity is a major public health problem and is a risk factor for hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. In addition, the prevalence of obesity appears to be increasing worldwide, making it important to determine the nature and extent of obesity in populations at risk. The aim of this study...
The primary problem of this study was to evaluate the post-high
school plans component of a high school counseling program. The
intent was to determine the effectiveness of the program component in
relation to the purpose it was designed to serve: providing information
and guidance for high school students who...
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a course in
assertiveness training on internalized shame in college students to determine
if assertiveness training was effective in decreasing the feeling of shame in
undergraduate college students. Assertiveness training was selected as the
treatment to reduce shame because...
A series of four experiments were conducted to study
sulfa residues with market turkeys and to observe the
repletion, depletion and possible recycling effect from
reused litter.
In the first experiment, sulfaquinoxaline (S.Q.) was
fed at 0.015% level from 8 to 16 weeks of age. No significant
effects were observed...
