... The cultivar Coho is a new floricane fruiting red raspberry. It is high yielding and late-ripening, and produces large, bright red, very firm fruits that easily separates from the receptacle. Coho is best suited for fresh markets, although it has been reported to be excellent when individually quick frozen. The Coho ripening season is later than cv. Tulamen and slightly earlier than cv. Kitsilano. ...

Abstract:
... Studies were conducted with codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., to fit cumulative curves for the occurrence of injured fruits and male moth catches in sex pheromone-baited traps as a function of accumulated degree-days after the start of moth flight. Twelve data sets were collected from seven apple, Malus domestica Bordhausen, orchards in Washington State from 2003 to 2006. Cumulative data were grou ...

Abstract:
... Curcuminoids are bioactive polyphenolics with potent antiinflammatory properties. Although several lines of in vitro and preclinical evidence suggest potent anticancer effects of curcuminoids, clinical findings have not been conclusive. The present randomized double‐blind placebo‐controlled trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of curcuminoids as adjuvant therapy in cancer patients. Eighty subjects ...

Abstract:
... Soil water pressures, measured over space and time, are needed to predict the direction of water flow and chemical transport in the vadose zone. Advanced tensiometers (ATs), which utilize a water-filled porous cup connected directly to a pressure transducer, can be installed at almost any location and depth using standard drilling techniques such as auger drilling, but these methods can significan ...

Although many ecological aspects of this population have been studied, why SRKW perform above-surface “percussive” behavior such as breaching, cartwheeling, pectoral-fin slapping, tail lobbing, and dorsal-fin slapping remains unclear. In the present study, we observed SRKW in Haro Stra ...
