Morphometric analysis of individual, key growth rings might provide a way of establishing “fingerprints” or unique patterns for growth rings produced following different natural or anthropogenic stresses.

Tb158: Milk Processing And Distribution Costs: Maine 1993, Stephan C. Howick, George K. Criner, Stephen L. Jacobs
Technical Bulletins
The objective of this study is to provide an updated estimate of the theoretically lowest achievable costs of processing and distributing milk in Maine. Costs are estimated for a state-of-the-art processing plant assumed to be located in the Portland, Maine, area. The plant produces and distributes a full line of products, including white milk, chocolate milk, and orange juice, and distributes additional products such as cheeses and yogurts.

These authors brought fishers into captivity to assess the reproductive cycles of both sexes and to monitor females with known reproductive histories. In addition, kits born in captivity were raised to sexual maturity to monitor growth and development. Here they report on the rates at which fishers were caught, the care and maintenance of fishers while in captivity, and the handling procedures used with 44 fishers taken from the wild and 38 fishers conceived in the wild and born in captivity, during the period from 1990 to 1993.

Tb156: Woody Landscape Plant Cold-Hardiness Ratings, Paul E. Cappiello, Lyle E. Littlefield
Technical Bulletins
The Lyle E. Littlefield Ornamentals Trial Garden has served as an excellent choice for testing winter survival of landscape plants. It is located on approximately 5 hectares of land comprising the highest elevation and windiest site on Marsh Island. The site is in USDA hardiness zone 4a. The soil is highly variable, ranging from a fine sandy loam to marine clay, with many stones throughout. In general, most plants are cultivated in beds mulched with mixed soft wood bark from a local mill. Plants receive supplemental irrigation during the first two seasons after planting, and thereafter irrigation is supplied only …

Tb152: The Effect Of Juvenile Wood On The Properties Of Aspen Flakeboard, Kenneth D. Roos, James E. Shottafer, Robert K. Shepard
Technical Bulletins
While the effects of juvenile wood tissue on solid wood products and paper have been known for some time, little information is available regarding its influence on structural flakeboard. Juvenile and mature wood tissue were identified b y their physical and mechanical properties in quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.). Sections of juvenile and mature wood were separated from 1-foot bolts of aspen. These sections were used to prepare three distinct types of structural flakeboard : juvenile wood-based, mature wood-based, and one formed from an equal mixture of the two. The panels were tested for selected mechanical and physical properties. The …
