Simulating Foodborne Pathogens In Poultry Production And Processing To Defend Against Intentional Contamination, S. Lankford, D. R. Thompson, S. C. Ricke
Simulating Foodborne Pathogens In Poultry Production And Processing To Defend Against Intentional Contamination, S. Lankford, D. R. Thompson, S. C. Ricke
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
There is a lack of data in recent history of food terrorism attacks, and as such, it is difficult to predict its impact. The food supply industry is one of the most vulnerable industries for terrorist threats while the poultry industry is one of the largest food industries in the United States. A small food terrorism attack against a single poultry processing center has the potential to affect a much larger human population than its immediate consumers. In this work, the spread of foodborne pathogens is simulated in a poultry production and processing system to defend against intentional contamination. An …
Profitability Of Variable Rate Phosphorus In A Two Crop Rotation, Jennie Popp, Terry W. Griffin, Michael P. Popp, William H. Baker
Profitability Of Variable Rate Phosphorus In A Two Crop Rotation, Jennie Popp, Terry W. Griffin, Michael P. Popp, William H. Baker
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The purpose of this study is to examine the profitability of variable rate phosphorus application on a rotation of rice (Oryza sativa) and soybeans (Glycine max) on fields comprised of clay and silt loam soils. Phosphorus was chosen because 1) farmers have recently been advised of the benefit of phosphorus applications on rice as well as soybeans, 2)recommended phosphorus application rates vary greatly between clay and silt loam soils and across rice and soybeans, and 3) the residual effects of phosphorus applications in a crop rotation affect the appropriateness of variable rate technology (VRT). A three phase simulation, regression and …
Continued Ddt Persistence In Mississippi River Delta Streams: A Case Study, Stephen A. Sewell, Luther A. Knight Jr.
Continued Ddt Persistence In Mississippi River Delta Streams: A Case Study, Stephen A. Sewell, Luther A. Knight Jr.
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Fish samples representative of several trophic levels were taken from the Wolf and Loosahatchie Rivers of western Tennessee during the early 1980s. Results indicate that DDT, with metabolites DDD and DDE, remains common in fish tissues in these areas and approaches the levels recommended as maxima for human consumption by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Samples of top carnivores and forage fishes, particularly the gizzard shad, Dorosoma cepedlanum, commonly exceeded 500 ppb DDE. The results are discussed in light of sediment disturbing activities.

Composition Of Arkansas Grapes During Maturation, Cameron Jones, Dominic T.C. Yang, Thomas O. Whitley
Composition Of Arkansas Grapes During Maturation, Cameron Jones, Dominic T.C. Yang, Thomas O. Whitley
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Changes in organic acid and glucose content during maturation and ripening of grapes grown in Arkansas in 1973 are shown for four French hybrid varieties, S5279, S10878, SV23- 657, and S13053, and for four rotundifolia varieties, Scuppernong, Tarheel, Fry, and Magoon. In all varieties the concentrations of malates and tartrates were highest in the early stages of berry growth after veraison. During ripening the titratable acidity decreased and Balling and pH measurements increased. Although varieties reached maturity on different dates, changes in parameters followed similar curves typical for grapes of the species but occurring over a short period (Johnson and …
Model For Estimating The Probability Of Crop Production For Ginkgo Biloba L., Michael I. Johnson
Model For Estimating The Probability Of Crop Production For Ginkgo Biloba L., Michael I. Johnson
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Mature female Maidenhair trees (Ginkgo biloba L.)have been observed to produce seed dispersal units in some years and none in other years. A temperature and/or photoperiod flowering threshold is suggested. Daily temperatures and daylengths at five Ginkgo sites in continental U.S. for January-April 1964-1974 were evaluated. A computer program was designed to estimate daily photothermal equivalent (PTE = temperature and photoperiod), and the magnitude and duration of the PTE in relation to a series of photothermal constants. Use of the data from production and nonproduction years provided a mathematical model for prediction of dispersal unit production. The model was tested …
