Light and electron microscope studies of host-parasite relations in a mycoparasite
Light microscope studies of the mycoparasite Piptocephalis
virginiana revealed that the cylindrical spores of the
parasite became spherical upon germination and produced 1-4
germ tubes. Generally t"l.vO germ tubes were produced by each
spore. When this parasite was inoculated on its potential
hosts, Choanephora cucurbitarum and Phascolomyces articulosus,
the germ tube nearest to the host hypha continued to grow and
made contact with the host hypha. The tip of the parasite's
germ tube became swol
Is there a difference in artistic ability between learning -disabled students and "regular-class" st
Research and practice regarding LO students usually has

"regular-class" students, pair-wise and as groups, for levels and
distributions of the dimensions. For 14 LO and 9 "regular-class"
elementary-school subjects, both genders, data were taken by

educational instrument called a "decision board." Although
equally effective, the treatments differ with regards to
side effects and treatment schedule. The purpose of this

Effects of sample solvent composition and injection volume on chromatographic peak profiles of methy
The effects of sample solvent composition and the
injection volume, on the chromatographic peak profiles of two
carbamate derivatives, methyl 2-benzimidazolecarbamate (MBC)
and 3-butyl-2,4-dioxo[1,2-a]-s-triazinobenzimidazole (STB),
were studied using reverse phase high performance liquid
chromatograph. The study examined the effects of acetonitrile
percentage in the sample solvent from 5 to 50%, effects of
methanol percentage from 5 to 50%, effects of pH increase from
4.42 to 9.10, and effect o
Analyses, persistence an degradation of the synthetic pyrethroid insecticides permethrin and fenvale
Studies on persistence and degradation of the synthetic pyrethroid
insecticides, permethrin and fenvalerate, were carried out under natural
environmental conditions of the Niagara Peninsula. Permethrin and
fenvalerate were treated on apple foliage atrat~s of 0.21 kg(AI)!ha
and 0.14 kg(AI)/ha, respectively. The initial cis- and trans-permethrin
spray deposits were found to be 13.5 ppm and 19.2 ppm, respectively and
38.0 ppm was observed for the fenvalerate treated sample. Twenty-three
