| experimental assessment of recycled diesel spill-contaminated domestic wastewater treated by reed beds for irrigation of sweet peppers. | the aim of this experimental study is to assess if urban wastewater treated by ten different greenhouse-based sustainable wetland systems can be recycled to irrigate capsicum annuum l. (sweet pepper; california wonder) commercially grown either in compost or sand within a laboratory environment. the design variables were aggregate diameter, contact time, resting time and chemical oxygen demand. the key objectives were to assess: (i) the suitability of different treated (recycled) wastewaters for ... | 2016 | 26861370 |
| identification and impact of natural enemies of bactericera cockerelli (hemiptera: triozidae) in southern california. | bactericera cockerelli (sulc) (hemiptera: triozidae) is a major pest of potato, (solanum tuberosum l.), tomato (solanum lycopersicum l.), and peppers (capsicum spp.). the purpose of our research was to identify and determine the impact of natural enemies on b. cockerelli population dynamics. through 2 yr of field studies (2009-2010) at four different sites and laboratory feeding tests, we identified minute pirate bug, orius tristicolor (white) (hemiptera: anthocoridae); western bigeyed bug, geoc ... | 2012 | 23156144 |
| fixed obstructive lung disease among workers in the flavor-manufacturing industry--california, 2004-2007. | bronchiolitis obliterans, a rare and life-threatening form of fixed obstructive lung disease, is known to be caused by exposure to noxious gases in occupational settings and has been described in workers in the microwave-popcorn industry who were exposed to artificial butter-flavoring chemicals, including diacetyl. in august 2004, the california department of health services (cdhs) and division of occupational safety and health (cal/osha) received the first report of a bronchiolitis obliterans d ... | 2007 | 17464280 |
| dietary and other lifestyle factors of women with brain gliomas in los angeles county (california, usa) | a population-based interview study in los angeles county (california, usa) of 94 women with intracranial gliomas and 94 individually matched neighborhood controls investigated the relationship to various sources of exposure to n-nitroso compounds and their precursors and to vitamins which inhibit the endogenous formation of these compounds. the study offers some support for the hypothesis that dietary sources of nitroso exposure relate to risk. risk increased with increasing consumption of cured ... | 1997 | 9051317 |
| a binomial sequential sampling plan for bactericera cockerelli (hemiptera: triozidae) in solanum lycopersicum (solanales: solanacea). | the tomato-potato psyllid bactericera cockerelli (sulc) (hemiptera: triozidae) is a pest of many solanaceous plants, including tomato (solanum lycopersicum l.) and potato (solanum tuberosum l.). in tomato, feeding by nymphs is associated with "psyllid yellows." b. cockerelli also vectors "candidatus liberibacter psyllaurous," an infectious bacterium that causes "vein greening" disease. decisions about management action are much more effective when guided by robust sampling. however, there are fe ... | 2014 | 24772568 |
