Ruelene was orally administered to three female sheep at a
dosage rate of 121.5 mg /kg. The cholinesterase (ChE) activity levels
of blood plasma, red blood cells (RBC), and mosquitoes (Aedes
aegypti) which had fed on the sheep were tested at various times
before and after dosage. Maximum depression of...
Proban, Famphur and Tiguvon were administered intravenously,
subcutaneously, and orally at varying concentrations to 101 female
rabbits. The cholinesterase (ChE) activity levels of both plasma and
red blood cells were tested, as was tick and mosquito ChE, at various
times before and after dosage. The determinations measured the
inhibition of...
Adverse effects on mechanical properties from using a supercritical fluid (SCF) to increase preservative penetration of refractory woods were evaluated by treating small ponderosa pine sapwood specimens with supercritical carbon dioxide at 64 combinations of temperatures (35 to 80 C), pressure (1,000 to 4,000 psig), and time (0.5 to 2...
These proceedings arc based upon a Conference conducted at Oregon State University on May 13 and 14, I 970.
The conference was sponsored jointly by the Schools of Forestry and Business and Technology. Co-chairmen of the Conference were Professor Ray A. Yoder of the School of Forestry and Professor Lester...
This study investigates the occurrence of beaver (Castor canadensis) in lentic habitat (lakes and ponds) near Mount St. Helens in Washington, 40 years after the 1980 eruption. At the coarse spatial scale, I surveyed lakes for sign of beaver establishment (lodge or den) across multiple volcanic disturbance zones. At a...
When wheat is exposed to rain in the period before harvest, it sometimes causes the problem of pre-harvest sprouting (PHS). Wheat that undergoes sprouting has poor end-use quality and is less valuable. In recent years, the U. S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) has experienced increased summer showers sometimes causing widespread PHS....
An analytical two-layer approximation of atmospheric flow is developed to study boundary-layer production of vertical motion. The model consists of a boundary layer topped by a free-flow layer. Both layers am time-dependent and possess different values of stratification. The boundary-layer equations are layer-integrated over a fixed depth and surface stress...
