    Notes: : In order to determine design capacities for various components of municipal and rural domestic water supply systems, engineers must estimate water requirements for an entire year (water rights), for the peak season (reservoir storage), for the peak day (pump or treatment plant size), and for peak hour (pipeline sizes). Historically, per capita water use rates have varied greatly between systems, particularly in semiarid regions where outdoor demands are large. The resulting uncertainty in design capacity estimates can cause either inadequate capacities or premature investment. In order to minimize that uncertainty multiple regression and frequency analyses were made of the various water demand parameters mentioned above for 14 systems in Utah and Colorado. Specifically, demand functions are reported for average month, peak month, and peak day. Peak hour demands were also studied but are reported in a different paper. The independent variables which were significant for monthly and daily demands were price of water and an outdoor use index which includes the effect of variation in landscaped area and accounts for use of supplementary ditch or pressure irrigation systems. The demand functions were developed with data from systems varying in size from very small low density rural systems to Salt Lake City's water system. The correlation coefficients (R2) vary from 0.80 to 0.95.

    Notes: : Errors inherent in the conputation of water surface profiles are magnified by the shallow lateral slopes typical of most flood-plains, producing significant floodplain mapping errors. An economic optimization procedure which weighs the cost of overstating the location of a floodplain boundary against the cost of understanding the location provides a means for establishing the boundary location. In most cases the cost of overstating the boundary location exceeds the cost of understating the location by several magnitudes so that the boundary location should coincide with the minimum water surface elevation which would be expected to result from a flood of specified recurrence interval.

    Notes: Although the volume of potable water used at recreation developments is minor relative to total regional water use, very high quality is required and the source is often of limited capacity, such as a mountain spring or small local aquifer. Frequent confrontations between developers and regulatory agencies result from claims by developers that water demand will be very small while regulators tend to treat such developments the same as municipal residence. Almost no published data base exists for resolving such conflicts. Included here are: 1) Water use measurements of various peak period durations (seasonal, monthly, daily, and instantaneous) at several types of recreational developments in Utah and Wyoming (mountain cabins, both ski- and water-based condominiums, and recreation vehicle campgrounds), 2) statistical (frequency) analysis of the data and a comparison with municipal demands in the same region, and 3) analysis of occupancy rates at the various categories of developments.

    Notes: The Brabender Farinograph with a burr mill accessory was modified to measure the work in joules to grind 25–55g of wheat and to provide a digital readout of the data. Temperature (18–20°C), protein content (10.5–15.9%), kernel size, and growth location had little effect on the results, but the work required to grind wheat increased with increasing moisture content (7–13%). The average work was 530 joules (standard deviation 3.3) for 60 samples of a soft white winter wheat and 880 joules (standard deviation 5.3) for 60 samples of a very hard red winter wheat. The method may be suitable for distinguishing between hard and soft wheats.

    Notes: The Brabender automatic micro hardness tester was used to measure the time required to grind 4g of wheat. Effects of temperature and moisture were determined. Increasing temperature from 15 to 40°C generally decreased grinding time, but differentiation among samples was better at 15°C than at higher temperatures. Increasing moisture content increased the grinding time of soft wheat much more than it increased the grinding time of hard wheat. The tester can detect differences related to milling properties of hard wheats, hardness among some wheat classes and among some varieties representing a single class of wheat. The instrument can also be used to evaluate hardness of plant-breeders' samples, so that selections with extreme hardness or softness can be discarded, and to distinguish between hard and soft wheats in marketing channels.

    Notes: SUMMARY. A method is described whereby ephippia (sexual eggs plus protective membranes) are experimentally induced at low food levels (≤ 0.05 mg spinach D. magna-1), high female culture-densities (≤ 0.4 D. magna ml-1) and in short-day photoperiods (L:D 〈 12:12, 12°C). The density-dependent ephippial response was related to an increased encounter rate between females at the higher densities. External metabolites had no significant effect on ephippia production. Ephippia were formed in the second generation after exposure to short day-lengths. Five clones from the same population exhibited genetic variation in their critical photoperiods for induction of sexual reproduction (≥= 10% ephippia). There was evidence of a genetic difference in photoresponse between two populations of D. magna. The evolution of timing mechanisms for ephippia production are discussed in relation to the predictability of environmental change.

    Notes: Abstract The chemical compositions of a number of halophytes from salt marshes on Ynys Môn (Anglesey), Wales, and of some related mesophytes and sand dune plants have been determined. Analyses of the inorganic ions broadly confirmed the existence of a characteristic chemical composition of many monoco-tyledonous salt-marsh plants in that they contain high levels of potassium and relatively low levels of sodium. In contrast to most dicotyledonous halophytes, especially members of the Chenopodiacease, the monocots restrict the entry of inorganic ions and use high levels of soluble sugars to maintain an adequate solute potential. Low calcium levels were not found to be a feature of these plants, as was previously reported. The large amounts of sugars found in the monocotyle-donous plants suggested that they must be located mainly in the vacuoles, in contrast to glycinebetaine which is thought to accumulate principally in the cytoplasm of the salt accumulating Chenopodiaceae. The monocotyledonous halophytes which accumulate proline differ from the normal monocotyledonous physiotype in the accumulation of larger quantities of sodium. Triglochin maritima is one species of this type, and Puccinellia maritima a less extreme example. Spartina spp. accumulating glycinebetaine and β-dimethyl-sulphoniopropionate also have unusually high inorganic ion contents for monocots. Several salt marsh plants contained large quantities of amino acids other than proline. As with ionic composition, the nature of the organic solutes broadly followed taxonomic lines. The usefulness of the physiotype concept is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract. Although daylength has a major effect on flowering and several other aspects of plant development, the actual environmental time signals for the beginning and the end of day are obscure. An intensive spectroradiometric study was carried out in three contrasting environments: namely, unshaded sites, a mature oak woodland and a sugar beet crop. Spectral photon distributions were obtained describing numerous twilight phases and intervening photoperiods throughout the year. From each, absolute photon fluence rates, photon fluence rate ratios and phytochrome photoequilibria were calculated. Although substantial changes in spectral composition occurred during twilight, they were less capable of providing reliable and accurate time signals than the absolute fluence rate; this was especially apparent beneath the canopies. Thus, spectral changes are unlikely to be valuable in photoperiodic perception. The results are discussed in relation to the possible involvement of the known plant photoreceptors in photoperiodism.
