Attempts to synthesize diboron tetrafluoride by the reduction of
boron trifluoride with alkali metal solutions in 1, 2-dimethoxyethane
proved to be unsuccessful. No diboron tetrahalide was found when
boron trifluoride, antimony trifluoride, or boron trichloride was
reacted with tetra-(dimethylamino)-diboron; although there appeared
to be some exchange between chloride and amine...
The physical and chemical properties of soils greatly affect the
toxicity of bromacil and picloram. Consequently, a knowledge of the
parameters which influence the soil inactivation of these herbicides
is necessary to determine proper application rates for good weed control.
Enhancement in phytotoxicity with the addition of surfactants or
surface...
The purpose of this pilot study was to determine whether students
using a series of planned exercises designed to improve typewriter
composition skills would be better able to compose at the typewriter
than students in a control group. The study was also concerned with

Chalkbrood is a mycosis of larvae of the alfalfa leafcutting bee,
Megachile rotundata (Fabricius). It is a serious threat to alfalfa seed
growers in western North America who use populations of this bee for
pollination. Basic studies were conducted to determine the etiology of
this disease and the course of...
