The purpose of this study was to develop a marine bioassay
procedure using eggs and larvae of Pollicipes polymerus, a stalked
barnacle common on the west coast of North America.
A series of experiments were run to determine optimal culture
conditions for the eggs, to see if they could be...
Trace metals in the aquatic environment are generally concentrated
on the surface of solid geochemical phases which eventually become incorporated
into estuarine and marine sediments. The mechanism of trace
metal concentration is believed to be adsorption with various geochemical
phases such as hydrous metal oxides, clays, and organic matter.
Metals...
The response of sweet corn Zea mays L. var. rugosa (cultivar
'Jubilee') to row spacing, nitrogen and population density at two
planting dates was studied in a field experiment at the OSU
Vegetable Research Farm in 1984. Variables included two row
spacings, 75 cm and 90 cm, three nitrogen rates,...
The utero-ovarian vasculature of domestic animals has been a
popular research subject, especially concerning the roles of the uteroovarian
artery and vein in the unilateral luteolytic phenomenon
demonstrated in these animals. No reports in the literature, however,
have been found regarding the smooth muscle physiology of these vessels.
The present...
The reaction of F, often a component of industrial
wastes and phosphatic fertilizers, with soil was studied
with regard to sorption reactions and resultant changes in
solution composition. Sodium fluoride solutions (0.0 to
2.5 mmol/L F) were equilibrated with ten soils for 24h.
The soil extract solutions were analyzed for...
