Synthesis of total RNA, DNA, and protein was followed in a
haploid yeast auxotroph during starvation for required amino acids
and uracil, and during shift-up and shift-down conditions.
During amino acid starvation, synthesis of macromolecular
constituents was not immediately affected, reflecting the presence
of large intracellular amino acid pools. Under...
The influence of oil sprays on the field spread of the aphid-borne
bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) in bean was studied in 1972
and 1973. Oil sprays failed to significantly reduce virus spread in
the 1972 BYMV experiment. However, the data did suggest that the
efficiency of the oil sprays...
The distribution of agricultural production for
continuous consumption requires the capacity to maintain
inventories which are large relative to the rate of
utilization. As a result, the demand for inventories is a
critical element in the pricing of agricultural
commodities. A component of inventory demand, referred to
here as reservation...
Malheur County is located in the southeast corner of Oregon and consists of about 64 million acres of which 260,000 acres is irrigated. Groundwater contamination has been found in a 115,000 acre area in Northeastern Malheur County. The main source of the groundwater contamination is agricultural practices. The overall objective...
The objective of the study is to analyze empirically the demand
for hired farm labor and the elasticities of substitution of capital for
labor in the U.S., the Middle Atlantic region, the Pacific region, and
in the states of California and Oregon.
The data period 1941-1969 was analyzed for the...
Multiparadigm programming languages are a recent development in the realm of programming languages. A multiparadigm programming language allows the use of multiple, differing programming paradigms without departing from a single, unified linguistic framework. Multiparadigm programming languages are claimed to have benefits to both pedagogy and complex application creation. The beneficial...
A need exists to develop a non-destructive testing technique that can identify
the formation and propagation of diagonal tension cracks in conventionally
steel reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) highway bridges in the State of
Oregon. Such a technique could be included into a structural health
monitoring (SHM) system installed on...
The objective of this study is to analyze empirically the demand
structure for the following important farm production inputs in
Oregon: hired labor, chemical fertilizer, farm machinery, repairs
and operating costs of motor vehicles and other machinery designated
as "machinery supplies," purchased feed and miscellaneous inputs.
Twenty-year data (1950-69 except...
