The number of varieties of ryegrass (Lolium spp.) has increased greatly in recent years. An accurate and rapid laboratory technique to identify these varieties would benefit the consumer as well as protect an organization's Plant Variety Protection rights. There is also a need for a technique to complement the seedling...
High protein wheat seeds frequently perform better than low
protein seeds of the same variety. Protein content of seeds can be
increased by management practices, the most important of which is
rate and timing of N applications. The purpose of this study was to
determine the chemical, biochemical and physiological...
The purpose of this study was to determine the need
for mathematics inservice training for untrained and
trained teachers in K-7 rural schools in Manicaland,
Zimbabwe. The auxiliary teachers do not have any
professional preparation before entry into the teaching
profession. The study sought to determine the mathematics
areas needed...
Winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum) were evaluated for
their response to water stress and adaptability to a wide range of
moisture limited environments. Grain yield was analyzed for ten
cultivars at six locations across four years. Regression of the cultivar
mean on the year-location mean was used as a measure...
Bacteria of the genus Klebsiella have been found to be
associated with redwood water storage reservoirs, redwood
chips, and liquid expressed from within living redwood. A
1,000 gallon experimental redwood reservoir was employed to
determine how to control the presence of Klebsiella and
Enterobacter in drinking water stored in these...
The thesis examines the applicability of a two-dimensional flow acceleration model to describe a terrain-induced flow perturbation as measured at Yaquina Head on the central Oregon coast. The geometry of Yaquina Head together with the upstream wind values were used in estimating hilltop winds. These estimates compare well with the...
