Effects of temperature and wetness duration on infection of oilseed rape leaves by ascospores of Leptosphaeria maculans (stem canker)
(1999-11)
In controlled environment experiments, ascospores of Leptosphaeria maculans (stem canker) infected oilseed rape (cv. Nickel) leaves and caused phoma leaf spots at temperatures from 8 degrees C to 24 degrees C and leaf ...
A self-aligning four-point bend testing rig and sample geometry effect in four-point bend fatigue
(1999-10)
A self-aligning four-point bend testing rig was designed and made which can minimise the possible misalignment associated with a four-point bend test and be used to study the fatigue of materials both at room and elevated ...
The influence of increased feeding on the susceptibility of sheep to infection with Haemonchus contortus
(1999-10)
Previous research has shown that supplementing the diet of growing lambs with urea enhances their ability to withstand gastrointestinal infection with the nematode Haemonchus contortus. This study compared lambs given two ...
Emergence and partial characterization of rice stripe necrosis virus and its fungus vector in South America
(1999-10)
A new disease of rice, known as 'entorchamiento' (crinkling), was first noticed in the Department of Meta, Colombia, in 1991. Symptoms include seedling death, foliar striping and severe plant malformation. Tissue extracts ...
Effects of severity and timing of stem canker (Leptosphaeria maculans) symptoms on yield of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in the UK
(1999-10)
The relationships between yield loss and incidence (% plants with stems affected) or severity (mean stem score, 0-4 scale) of stem canker in winter oilseed rape were analysed using data from experiments at Rothamsted in ...
Epidemiology of Leptosphaeria maculans in relation to forecasting stem canker severity on winter oilseed rape in the UK
(1999-10)
In the UK, ascospores of Leptosphaeria maculans first infect leaves of oilseed rape in the autumn to cause phoma leaf spots, from which the fungus can grow to cause stem cankers in the spring. Yield losses due to early ...
Differential modulation of motor neurons that innervate the same muscle but use different excitatory transmitters in Aplysia
(1999-10)
The medial portion of intrinsic buccal muscle 3 (I3m) is innervated by two excitatory motor neurons, B3 and B9. B3 uses glutamate as its fast transmitter and expresses the neuropeptide FMRFamide, whereas B9 uses acetylcholine ...
Monitoring Energy Consumption in Home Cooking and Influencing Consumers to Save Energy
(1999-09)
This research was carried out as part of a two-year study funded by DGXVII of the EC and the UKDETR in association with the TTS Institute (Finland). The general context of the research was that of reducing the energy ...
A survey of adverse drug reaction reporting by hospital pharmacists to the Committee on Safety of Medicines - the role of pharmacy departments
(1999-09)
Objectives - To identify: (1) how adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting by hospital pharmacists is managed, (2) the education of pharmacy personnel on ADR reporting, (3) pharmacy personnel with a specific role in ADR ...
Infection of linseed by Alternaria linicola : Effects of inoculum density, temperature, leaf wetness and light regime
(1999-09)
Controlled environment studies were conducted to determine the effects of inoculum density, temperature, leaf wetness and light regime on the infection of linseed by Alternaria linicola. The % cotyledons and leaves with ...
