Dungeness crab is an important fishery on the Pacific Coast.
The processing subsystem of the fishery is hampered by a variety of
problems that have acted to impede technological innovations that
could improve efficiency and sanitation in seafood plants. This paper
provides background for problems encountered by the processors, discusses...
Because of the organic nature and the natural foaming characteristics
of kraft mill effluents, it was decided to investigate the
feasibility of using foam separation as a method of treatment. The
treatment efficiency was evaluated by BOD and COD reductions as
well as the decrease in toxicity to marine life....
A 9.0 ppb solution of dieldrin in water was passed through a
granular-activated carbon bed at the rate of 4 gpm/sq. ft. The performance
of the carbon was monitored from sampling ports at bed
depths of 2-1/4 and 8-1/4 inches. Isotherm tests were also run with
a 9.0 ppb dieldrin...
This investigation was motivated by the apparent increase in genetic
variability resulting from the systematic combining of gene pools
represented by winter and spring types of wheats.
It was the objective of this study to provide information regarding
the nature of this genetic variability for nine agronomic characters
in populations...
The radiolysis of succinic acid in aqueous solutions induced by
gamma irradiation from ⁶⁰Co has been studied with respect to the
identification and estimation of degradation products. Detailed information
on the radiolysis of succinic acid is important in determining
what effect two carboxyl groups in the same molecule would have...
