analysis of specialized pesticide problems invertebrate control agents - efficacy test methods. volume ii. foliar treatment ii (field crops, forage crops, rangeland, vegetables - field and greenhouse),

the report is concerned with testing chemicals in foliar applications to field crops, forage crops, rangeland, and vegetable crops (field and greenhouse), to establish their efficaciousness in protecting these crops from economic injury by insects and mites. in addition, test methods should take into consideration environmental involvemen..

ottawa spray rig tests of an ice protection system applied to the uh-1h helicopter

simulated icing flight tests were conducted on an advanced ice protection system as applied to an army uh-1h helicopter in the nrc spray rig at ottawa, canada. the system provides for electrothermal cyclic deicing of the main and tail rotor blades, electrically-heated windshield and stabilizer bar, and ice detectors. the aircraft had been..

employing magnetic forces to manipulate and transport cotton fibers

in the patent application open cotton in a fiber form is rendered manipulative and transportable by magnetic forces in a magnetic field by treating the unprocessed cotton fibers with an aqueous suspension consisting of a ferromagnetic powder and a water-soluble surfactant binding agent. this invention provides both a method and a product ..

diagnostic tests for wick-type payloads and high viscosity liquids

during phase i, a group of yawsonde-instrumented projectiles was fired at wallops island, va., to test a non-toxic simulant for liquid white phosphorous (wp) and to examine the flight stability of two diagnostic wick-type configurations. tests were conducted at charge 4w with yaw induction. yaw levels of up to 15 deg were achieved. the si..

possible fire and electric shock hazards from hot lamps in miniature christmas tree light strings and decorations,

failure to replace burned out lamps in series-constructed miniature christmas light strings, or replacement with lamps of incorrect voltage rating, can lead to very high power dissipation by some or all of the lamps in the series string. hot spot surface temperatures as high as 470c were measured for lamps subjected to simulation of the a..

icing tests of a uh-1h helicopter with an electrothermal ice protection system under simulated and natural icing conditions

natural and simulated icing tests were conducted during february and march 1978 with a uh-1h helicopter equipped with an advanced ice protection system. this was the fourth program of icing tests accomplished with this test aircraft and the second to include natural icing. the objective of this year's program was to expand the icing test ..

factors influencing usefulness of antitranspirants applied on phreatophytes to increase water supplies,

the continuous availability of groundwater to riparian phreatophytic vegetation such as saltcedar tamarix, sp. and cottonwood populus, results in large transpiration losses to the atmosphere, particularly in summer, when high transpiration rates usually coincide with peak consumer demands for ground- and streamwater. removal of this veget..

natural icing flight tests and additional simulated icing tests of a uh-1h helicopter incorporating an electrothermal ice protection system

natural icing flights and additional simulated icing tests were accomplished with a uh-1h helicopter equipped with an advanced ice protection system. this testing was the third icing test program accomplished with the test aircraft, but the first to include natural icing conditions. the simulated icing tests were conducted in the national..

test method evaluations and emissions testing for rating wood stoves. final rept. jun 85-apr 86

the report gives results of a comparison of three sampling methods for wood burning stoves: the epa modified method 5 (mm5), the oregon method 7 (om7), and the astm proposed method p180. it also addresses the effect that emission format (grams per hour, grams per kilogram wood burned, micrograms per joule heat output) has on the intermeth..
