Predissociation processes in N22+, O22+, and NO2+, studied by ion kinetic energy spectroscopy
Download1984
Curtis, Jonathan M., Boyd, Robert K
Experimental values of kinetic energy release T, for predissociation processes of diatomic di‐cations N2+ 2, O2+ 2, and NO2 + have been obtained using techniques of ion‐kinetic‐energy spectroscopy on a double‐focusing mass spectrometer. Both unimolecular and collision‐induced processes were...

Spontaneous and collision-induced dissociation processes of C02+ ions, formed by electron impact, have been studied in a double-focusing mass spectrometer using techniques of ion kinetic energy spectroscopy. The predissociation process, responsible for unimolecular dissociation of C02+ on the...

Exposure of stratified apple (Malus domestics Borkh. cv. Golden Delicious) seeds to 30C induces secondary dormancy. To determine if an increase in abscisic acid (ABA) content was associated with the loss in germination capacity, stratified seeds (3,- 6, or 9 weeks at 5C) were held at 30C for 0,...

A single barn was sampled throughout a turkey growth cycle to investigate the size and distribution of airborne particles and to identify individual dust sources. Fecal material was found to be the main constituent of airborne dust in turkey barns. The aerodynamic properties of airborne dust and...

To counteract loss of genetic diversity crucial for current and future tree improvement, tree breeders have conserved forest genetic resources in situ in their natural ecosystems in protected areas or ex situ in plantations, seed orchards, and breeding arboreta. This article reviews the genetic...

The B subunit of cholera toxin has been covalently attached to the surface of Uposomes made from a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphati- dylcholine and cholesterol. Adenylate cydase inhibitors and chloride conduc- tance inhibitors were encapsulated within the liposomes. These...

Yield components of day-neutral and short-day strawberry varieties on raised beds in British Columbia
Download1993-01-01
Baumann, T. E., Eaton, G. W., Spaner, Dean
Eight day-neutral and seven short-day strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa, Duch.) varieties were evaluated on raised beds during 1990 and 1991 in the Fraser River valley, B.C. Among day-neutral varieties in 1990, total variation in marketable yield originated in fruit count (26%), total yield (18%),...

Clinical and research applications of real-time ultrasonography in bovine reproduction: A review
Download1994
Ambrose, Divakar J., Burton, Bruce, Rajamahendran, Rajadurai
Transrectal real-time ultrasonography has proved to be a rapid and reliable technique for studying reproductive functions in cattle. Through ultrasonography it is now established that follicular growth occurs in wave-like patterns during each estrous cycle. It has been shown that follicular...

Spectroscopic characterization of recombinant dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase and its site-directed mutants
Download1995
Korotchkina, Lioubov G., Hyatt, Susannah L., Kav, Nataraj N. V., Liu, Te-Chung, Patel, Mulchand S.
In this paper, we report the overexpression and single-step purification of recombinant wild-type and site-directed mutants of human dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli and detailed spectroscopic studies aimed at understanding the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme. One mutation...

Four environmental chambers housing either 75 (5.5 birds/m\") or 37 turkeys (2.8 birds/m ) were used to study the impact of stocking density on air quality, bird health, and performance under similar per bird ventilation rates (3 L/s per bird). Stocking density had little effect on air quality or...
