The Retention Of Wet Strength Resins As Determined By The Kjeldahl Method, Walter J. Redmond

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

True wet strength is not a gauge of water proofness of paper, but is a measure of the residual strength of the paper gauged by the mullen, tear, burst, and fold, after the paper has been completely soaked in water and the resistance to water penetration has been completely broken (1).

To increase the wet-strength of paper, a number of different resins may be applied, and these resins may be broadly classified as anionic or cationic in nature. Of these resins, three particular resins will be discussed, cationic melamine-formaldehyde, anionic urea-formaldehyde, and cationic urea-formaldehyde.

The Influence Of Beating Of Pulp On Fiber Length And Fiber Length Distribution, Rudolf Schmut

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

1. Introduction

Recent studies and researchers assume that certain relationships exist between different properties of pulp - such as between bulk, tearing resistance, bursting strength, tensile strength, freeness, and fiber length index. It has been found furthermore that such relations are different for different types of pulp and that some may even vary from pulp to pulp of the same type.

Lack Of Effect Of Plant Growth-Regulators On The Action Of Alpha-Amylase Secreted By Virus Tumor Tissue, M. K. Brakke, L. G. Nickell

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

This report deals with the effect of certain synthetic plant growth-regulators on the activity of alpha-amylase (1) secreted by virus tumor tissue grown in vitro. Previous studies have lacked adequately controlled conditions and have been carried out with enzyme preparations obtained through the usual methods of destruction of cells. In this particular study (a) the assay employed to measure enzyme activity includes control of pH and temperature and (b) this enzyme, being secreted, is not subject to the drastic preparative procedures involving destruction of cellular structure usually necessary to obtain enzymes.

Diphenyl Wraps For Oranges, F. Melville

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Diphenyl impregnated wraps have been successfully used on a commercial basis overseas for improving the keeping quality of oranges. Last year Mr. E. G. Hall, of the C.S.I.R.O. Laboratories, Homebush, kindly made available a quantity of diphenyl wraps of American origin and some of these were used in a small storage experiment with Washington Navel oranges.

Effects Of Rotenone And Some Common Herbicides On Fish-Food Organisms, Max Zischkale

Field and Laboratory

While considerable experimentation has been done on aquatic plant control and reduction of fish populations by chemicals, we know little of how these agents act on those smaller animals that serve as fish food…. I have attempted here to find what happens to a few of the smaller crustaceans and immature aquatic insects (as well as two of the common genera of aquatic snails) when standardized concentrations of the more commonly used herbicides are introduced into the water. I have also employed the fish poison, rotenone.

Notes On Megathymus Yuccae (Boisduval & Leconte), With Description Of A New Subspecies (Lepidoptera, Rhopalocera, Megathymidae), H. A. Freeman

Field and Laboratory

The original description of Eudamus? yuccae Bdv. & LeC. was presented in the form of a water color painting, "Histoire generale et iconographie des Lepidopteres et des Chenilles de I'Amerique Sep­ tentrionale, plate 70, 1833". There was no verbal description. Even though Boisduval and LeConte made no reference as to where their drawings came from, it is now known that John Abbot, of Georgia, prepared some of these, including the one of their yuccae.

Remarks On The Genus Cercocarpus In Texas, Rogers Mcvaugh

Field and Laboratory

The small genus Cercocarpus (Rosaceae), of western North America, consists of two species (according to the most conservative estimate possible), or as many as 21 species (according to Rydberg, N. Am. Fl. 22: 418-424. 1913)….In Texas the genus Cercocarpus is found in three principal areas, namely in the Panhandle, in the Edwards Plateau, and in the trans-Pecos region. In all these areas the plants occur at widely scattered localities, usually in canyons or ravines or on isolated mountain ranges, and often separated by scores or even hundreds of miles from other localities where the same species occurs.

More Windmill Shut-Offs, "Martingale" .

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Since we printed the description of a type of automatic windmill shut-off used on Abydos Station, Port Hedland, in the issue of December, 1951, several readers of the "Journal" have written to describe alternative methods of pulling a mill "out of the wind" when the tank is filled. In a number of cases there were variations of the same idea, and in this article the main principles are described, together with some other ingenious gadgets which the author has encountered over the years.

A Report On Drosophila Collections In Nebraska, David D. Williams, Dwight D. Miller

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

Until rather recently little has been known of the Drosophila species of Nebraska. Sturtevant (1921) lists Nebraska as one of seven states from which no Drosophila had been reported. Patterson and Wagner (1943) show that collections of Drosophila pseudoobscura had been made in the vicinities of Scottsbluff and Kearney, but no other Drosophila species are reported from Nebraska in their publication.

Some Instructive Field Days, "Martingale" .

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Although fully conversant with the old newspaperman's adage which states that "Yesterday's news is the bath-heater fuel of today," we make no apology for including these reports of field days held after our December issue had gone to press. It is felt that they contain some useful lessons which, even at this late date, are deserving of emphasis.

Aids To Better Shearing, W. L. Mcgarry, J. Reilly, M. Butler

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The demonstrations and instructional work in shearing that have been carried out in the farming areas have revealed the universal difficulty among learner-shearers in "getting a cut." Experience has shown that this absence of good cutting in handpieces has been due in large measure to the general lack of knowledge regarding grinding and the correct adjustment or "setting up" of the combs and cutters on the handpiece. Poor cutting has also resulted from the common practice of using combs and cutters that do not match, together with faulty handpiece maintenance. These and other factors leading to such poor results will …

Poison Plants - Pituri, C. A. Gardner, H. W. Bennetts

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Only a few of the drug-yielding plants found on their hunting grounds appear ^* to have been known to the Australian aborigines. Among those used and valued was the plant called "pituri" by the Central Australian tribes. The leaves of this plant, after drying and suitable preparation, were chewed as a narcotic.

Editorial - His Work Endures

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

In presenting the first issue of the "Journal of Agriculture" in its new form, it is with profound sorrow that we chronicle the passing of the Hon. Garnet Barrington Wood, M.L.C., Minister for Agriculture and the North-West, who died suddenly during a Cabinet meeting on January 2. The change of policy in the presentation of this Journal was keenly supported by the late Minister, and only a few hours before his death he had promised to write a foreword to the first issue, which was to have appeared on this page.
