Continued Ddt Persistence In Mississippi River Delta Streams: A Case Study, Stephen A. Sewell, Luther A. Knight Jr. Jan 1986

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 Jan 1976

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 Jan 1975

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 …
