Secretion Of Amylase By Rumex Virus Tumors In Vitro, L. G. Nickell, M. K. Brakke

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

The secretion of extracellular enzymes by intact cells of higher plants apparently is a rare occurrence. One example of it is the secretion of an extra, cellular amylase by the tissue of a virus-induced tumor from the root of Rumex wetosa L. An amylase is secreted in sufficient quantities by this tissue to enable it to grow as well in vitro on a starch-containing medium as on one containing sucrose.

A Seventeen-Year Study Of Plant Succession In Prairie, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

The nature and rate of regeneration of a 23- yr.-old bluestem pasture under complete protection from grazing were studied near Lincoln, Nebraska. The pasture adjoined a large tract of True Prairie, 0.5 mi. long and 0.25 mi. wide, of which it was originally a part. The prairie, of the upland mid- grass type, had not been grazed for at least 40 yr., and probably only moderately since the disappearance of the bison. It is used for the production of hay and is mowed annually in late summer or autumn. A portion of the pasture adjoining the prairie was separately fenced …

Birds Observed In The Potholes Region During 1953-1954, Paul A. Johnsgard

Papers in Ornithology

From June 15-August 15, 1953 and from February 15 to August 15, 19 5 4 the writer did extensive field work in the Potholes Region of Grant County,Washington, gathering data for an ecological study of the vegetation and wildlife of that area. During this time considerable observations of the bird life were made, which for the most part were restricted to the area adjacent to O'Sullivan Dam and Potholes Reservoir.

Long-Tailed Jaeger Collected In Eastern Washington, Paul A. Johnsgard

Papers in Ornithology

An adult female Long-tailed Jaeger (Stercorarius longicaudus) was collected on Potholes Reservoir. Grant County. Washington, June 27. 1953. The bird was observed resting on the water near the middle of the reservoir. and as I approached. I noticed it was unable to fly. It attempted to fly several times as I came near, but seemed too exhausted to be able to leave the water. It was readily captured and brought to shore. Although in apparent good health. it refused to eat. and died that night. The bird was skinned, and is specimen number 53-216 in the Charles R. …

Fat Separation In Evaporated Milk. Iii. Gravity Separation And Heat Stability, R. B. Maxcy, H. H. Sommer

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

Fat separation is a continuous problem in the production, handling, and storage of evaporated milk. This defect becomes most objectionable during prolonged quiescent storage at high temperatures. The butterfat rises to the upper surface forming a viscous, leathery layer, which may prevent pouring of the milk from a relatively small opening.
To retard fat separation, the manufacturer attempts to obtain effective homogenization and sufficient coagulation of the proteins during sterilization to give the product a high viscosity or "heavy body" (1, 12, 14). These practical applications are aimed at three fundamental considerations: a reduction in the size of the fat …

Fat Separation In Evaporated Milk Ii. Age-Thinning Of Concentrated, Sterilized Milk, R. B. Maxcy, H. H. Sommer

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

During the process of sterilization of evaporated milk there is a gradual increase in the viscosity, or the body of the product. However, there is a reduction in the viscosity especially during the early phase of storage. This loss in viscosity, referred to as age-thinning, continues for a number of months.

Fat Separation In Evaporated Milk I. Homogenization, Separation, And Viscosity Tests, R. B. Maxcy, H. H. Sommer

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

The rising of fat in evaporated milk on prolonged storage will inevitably occur since the density of the fat particles is lower than that of the concentrated milk plasma in which they are suspended. It has been shown that the velocity of rise of individual fat globules in milk plasma is in good agreement with the velocity as predicated by Stokes' law (5). Troy and Sharp (7) also found the velocity of rise of globule clusters in general agreement with this law. Their observations on clusters were less precise, however, because of inherent complications arising from the irregularities in the …

Polyvinyl Alcohol-Fixative-Adhesive For Small Helminths And Protozoa, Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Following the method of Brooke and Goldman (1949), the author was able to fix, mount and stain small helminths and parasitic protozoa of fish in polyvinyl alcohol-fixative smears. However, because there was much granular material in the PVA-Schaudin's mixture, AFA fixative was substituted for the Schaudin's. The PVA went into solution readily using this fixative. The solution was accomplished by adding 5 grams Elvanol #71-30¹ to 62 ml. of water, heating to 950 C. until dissolved and adding 5 ml. of acetic acid, 1-1/2 ml. of glycerine, 10 ml. of formaldehyde, and 30 ml. of 95 percent alcohol.

The Occurrence Of Ornithodiplostomum Ptychocheilus (Faust) (Trematoda: Strigeida) In Fish And Birds, Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

The metacercaria of Ornithodiplostomum ptychocheilush as been reported by Faust (1918; Illinois Biological Monographs 4(1): 1-120) from mesenteries of the squawfish, Ptychocheilus oregonensis (Richardson), and by Hughes and Piszcek (1928; Journal of Parasitology 15: 58-62) and Van Haitsma (1930; Transactions of the American Microscopical Society 49: 140-153) in the northeastern sand shiner, Notropis deliciosus stramineus (Cope). Van Haitsma (1930) found the adults in mergansers, Mergus americanus, M. serrator, Lophodytes cucullatus, and the old squaw duck, Harelda hyemalis. He also reared the metacercaria to the adult in young domestic ducks. Lyster (1940; Canadian Journal of Research 18D: 79-82) reported …

Spermatogenesis In The Sand Crab Emerita Analoga, Mario Martin Menesini

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Crustacean spermatozoa are among the most peculiarly modified germ cells in the animal kingdom. Many of their striking cytological specializations may be observed in the sperm cells or Emerita analoga, the so-called sand crab. This animal has been used by the writer for studies on spermatogenesis and on spermatozoan behavior during the summer or 1951, 1952, and 1953 at the Pacific Marine Station.
