Association of seed size with genotypic variation in the chemical constituents of soybeans

Ten soybean genotypes grown in 1992 with seed size ranging from 7.6 to 30.3 g/100 seeds and maturity group V or VI were selected and tested for oil and protein content and for fatty acid composition. In these germplasm, protein varied from 39.5 to 50.2%, oil, 16.3 to 21.6%, and protein plus oil, 59.7 to 67.5%. Percentages of individual fatty acids relative to total fatty acids varied as follows: palmitic, 11.0 to 12.8; stearic, 3.2 to 4.7; oleic, 17.6 to 24.2; linoleic, 51.1 to 56.3 and linolenic, 6.9 to 10.0. Seed size showed no significant correlations with individual saturated fatty acids, protein or oil content. However, significant correlations were found between seed size and individual unsaturated fatty acids: positive with oleic, and negative with linoleic and linolenic. Oil and protein content were negatively correlated with each other. Among the major fatty acids, only the unsaturated were significantly correlated with each other: negative between oleic and linoleic or linolenic, and positive between linoleic and linolenic. A subsequent study with soybeans grown in 1993 generally confirmed these findings. Variation in relative percentages of unsaturated fatty acids andr values for most pairs of relationships were even higher than those obtained from the 1992 crop.

The effect of increasing application rate of granular calcium ammonium nitrate on net nitrification in a laboratory study of grassland soils

Soil incubation studies were undertaken in controlled environment cabinets at 15°C to investigate the effect of increasing application rates of calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) on net nitrification in two grassland soils. Granular CAN was applied to the surface of freshly collected, moist soil, at a rate equivalent to 0, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600µg NH ₄ ⁺ -N and NO ₃ ^- -N per gram of oven dry soil. In half the treatments finely ground CaCO₃ was incorporated into the moist soil to raise the starting pH. Changes in soil mineral N and pH were measured at weekly intervals up to six-weeks. The most probable number (MPN) technique was used to enumerate the NH ₄ ⁺ -N and NO ₂ ^- -N oxidizers at the beginning and end of the incubation.At low rates of CAN application there was considerable NH ₄ ⁺ -N oxidation to NO ₃ ^- -N during the incubation of both soils. Lime stimulated this N transformation. At high application rates (i.e. 800 and 1600 ppm) there was little change in NH ₄ ⁺ -N or NO ₃ ^- -N on either soil during the 6 week incubation, in the presence or absence of lime. The rate of NO ₃ ^- -N produced peaked at 5.6 and 3.8 mg NO ₃ ^- -N kg^–1 d^–1 on soil 1 and 2 respectively, in the presence of lime. Above a level of 400 ppm CAN (equivalent to 38 kg N ha^–1) the rate of NO ₃ ^- -N produced decreased. The higher rate of net nitrification in soil 1 compared with soil 2 was probably due to a higher number of nitrifying bacteria. Although high rates of CAN decreased the nitrifying activity of both soils there was little difference between treatments in the actual numbers of NH ₄ ⁺ -N and NO ₂ ^- -N oxidizers determined by the MPN technique.The results showed that the rate of granular CAN applied to the soil surface can influence the local activity of nitrifying bacteria and subsequent N transformations. At application rates of CAN generally used agriculturally for grass production, it is likely that net nitrification of the NH ₄ ⁺ -N in the fertilizer granule will be inhibited.

Countercurrent approach to the enrichment of Δ9c,11t-and Δ10t,12c-18:2 isomers by urea complexation

CLA refers to a group of geometrical and positional isomers of linoleic acid. CLA has been shown to have potentially beneficial effects on cancer, atherosclerosis, and body metabolism in animals. Mixtures containing equal amounts of these isomers are commonly used in many research studies because of their greater availability and lower cost relative to pure isomers. This has hindered progress in elucidating the biological properties of specific isomers and their relevance in animal and human biology. A method was developed that offers a compromise between cost and utility to make available enriched mixtures of either the Δ9c,11t- or Δ10t,12c-18:2 isomers for use in a wide range of experimental applications. A countercurrent approach was developed to separate the Δ9c,11t- and Δ10t,12c-18:2 isomers from an equal mixture of these two isomers by urea complexation. After three successive rounds of complexation using an equal amount of CLA and urea, a fraction enriched in Δ9c,11t-18:2 containing 42.5 and 17.4% of Δ9c,11t-and Δ10t,12c-18:2, respectively, was recovered. After a single round of complexation using 2.5 g urea/g CLA, a fraction enriched in Δ10t,12c-18:2 was recovered containing 29.7 and 69.1% of Δ9c,11t- and Δ10t,12c-18:2, respectively.

Electrodiffusion diagnostics of the flow and mass transfer inside a network of crossing minichannels

The global mass transfer and the local flow structure inside a set of crossing minichannels were characterized using the electrodiffusion method. The individual square-cross channel sections (a = 1.5 mm in sides) intersect at right-angles in order to form the flow cell. An array of 39 circular platinum electrodes (0.25 mm in diameter) was flush-mounted into the wall of the flow cell to investigate the wall shear rate at different locations. This array of small sensors allowed characterization of longitudinal and lateral variations in wall shear rate across the flow cell, flow distribution at the inlet and outlet sections, transition between laminar and turbulent flow regimes, and flow behaviour at the channel crossings. The results of global wall mass transfer measurements demonstrated that, from a mass transfer point of view, the flow cell exhibits similar behaviour to a porous medium.     

Properties of bioriented nylon 6 films related to film production technology

Four production steps, extrusion, blowing, stabilization, and finishing, are involved in the manufacture of biorented nylon 6 films. The films obtained after each step were studied by wide‐angle diffraction X‐rays, IR analysis, and density measurements. Orientation in the amorphous phase was evaluated by thermal retraction. Free volume was investigated by positron annihilation spectroscopy. Mechanical properties were tested by tensile tests, and permeability was tested with isopiestic permeameters. Quenching, after extrusion, generated an unstable γ crystalline phase and an amorphous phase. Blowing transformed the unstable γ phase into the thermodynamically stable α phase and increased the chain orientation; stabilization increased α phase crystals, favored hydrogen bond formation and, therefore, the mechanical properties, leaving unchanged the chain orientation; the final treatment increased the mechanical properties. The film permeabilities to O₂, N₂, and CO₂ were practically unchanged after each production step; this result may be explained by considering that the nanoholes, present in the films and responsible for the diffusion inside the polymer, maintained practically constant their radius, whereas their number concentration decreased slowly after thermomechanical treatments. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
