The A segment of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV)
is expressed as a polyprotein encoding three primary gene
products, VP2, NS and VP3, from a large open reading frame. The
nucleotide sequence for the A segment of the Sp isolate of IPNV
was determined. The NS protein is the putative...
The effect of reducing sodium chloride in Cheddar cheese was
studied. Milled curd from a split-lot was salted at selected NaCl
concentrations and analyzed through aging by sensory and rheological
tests. Estimation of differences in compositional analysis, lactic
acid populations, degree of proteolysis, water activity, and pH were
also determined....
A spectral fitting routine was developed to analyze X-ray emissions in neutron capture decay
processes that produce ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt. Through correcting for X-ray emissions, the
77.3 keV γ gamma ray intensities were analyzed. The thermal cross sections for the production of
¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt were found to be 2088...
This is the third study of farm labor the Agricultural Experiment Station has completed for the Oregon Strawberry Commission. The first was completed for the 1987 harvest season. The second was completed for the 1989 season. This report covers the 1990 harvest year. The strategy for this study has been...
Plasma biochemistry and hematology reference intervals are integral health assessment tools in all medical fields, including aquatic animal health. As sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) are becoming aquaculturally and economically more important, this manuscript provides essential reference intervals (RI) for their plasma biochemistry and hematology along with reference photomicrographs of blood cells...
This study was conducted using response surface methodology to predict fluid loss from injected beef strip steaks as influenced by levels of salt and sodium phosphates (SP) in the injection brine. Also, a beef-based dehydrated beef protein (DBP) water binding ingredient was evaluated. Paired U.S. select beef strip loins were...
Sexual conflict over mating can result in sex specific morphologies and behaviors that
allow each sex to exert control over the outcome of reproduction. Genital traits, in
particular, are often directly involved in conflict interactions. Via genital manipulation,
we experimentally investigated whether genital traits in red-sided garter snakes influence
copulation...
