"Cut Scheduling in Industrial Forest Plantations by Linear Programming"
The study aimed mainly to develop a functional linear programming model to solve simultaneously the problem of cut scheduling and forest plantation development. The model was applied to a hyphotethical forest, using pertinent data from Nasipit Lumber...

‘Glutinous Synthetic 22’ and ‘PH801 Sweet Corn’ cultivars were studied to determine carbohydrate metabolism during different storage conditions and its effect on the quality of the processed products. Both cultivars... Read more.MS (University of the Philippines Los Baños)"Effect of Heat and Media on Protein Quality and Trypsin Inhibitors of Mung Bean [Vigna radiate (L.) Wilezek]"
Raw and boiled mung brean meals and mung bean cooked with sucrose solution were evaluated for protein quality in vivo using rats and for trypsin inhibitor activity in vitro. Boiling at 100°C for 30 minutes slightly improved the protein...

Transmission tests showed that mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) was readily sap-transmitted to mungbean and other legumes. Return inoculation tests also indicated that MYMV could be transmitted from mungbean to cowpea and...

Seedlings for Green Budding."
Experiments were conducted on Para rubber cultivar Tjir 1 seedling stock for green budding grown on Kabacan loam soil in polyethylene bags for three months to determine the nature of response to gibberelic acid (GA3) on buddability in terms of...

Acid and neutral in sugarcane milled were purified sixfold by precipitation with (NH4) 2SO4) at 20-40% saturation and 73-fold by Sephadex G-200 chromatography. Two major elution peaks on Sephadex, A1 and N1, corresponding to the isoenzymes... Read more.MS (University of the Philippines Los Baños)"In Vitro Inhibition of Sugarcance Invertase"
Acid and neutral invertases in sugarcane milled juice were purified six fold by precipitation with (NH4)2SO4 at 20=40% saturation and 73-fold by Sephadex G-200 chromatography. Two major elution peaks on Sephadex, A1 and N1 corresponding to... Read more.MS (University of the Philippines Los Baños)"Influence of Herbicides on Sclerotium Damping-Off in Tomato."
Laboratoty and greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the effect of herbicides on damping-off in tomato. Treatments with napropamide (2.0 kg/ha), butralin (1.5 kg/ha) and napromide plus butralin combination (1 + 1 kg/ha) on... Read more.MS (University of the Philippines Los Baños)
