Assessment of the drug information and toxicology reference collection in the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library at University of Utah Salt Lake City Utah.

ReportThe collection assessed was the drug information and toxicology reference collection at the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library at the University of Utah. Located on the main level within the reference department, the drug information and toxicology reference collection is one of 17 sections that serves the various reference needs of the health sciences and university communities, as well as the general public. It is identified in the Online Catalog as Reference Section 2 and will be referred to in this report as such. Reference Section 2 consists of books, documents, indexes and computerized sources covering the broad topic of drugs and toxicology. Cataloged according to the National Library of Medicine Classification system, Reference Section 2 includes call numbers that range from QD to Z, although the majority of the collection is represented by the QV's. In addition, a single journal title, selected documents, indexes, and access to computerized sources complete the drug information and toxicology reference section

PLU-E: a proposed framework for planning and conducting evaluation studies with children.

While many models exist to support the design process of a software development project, the evaluation process is far less well defined and this lack of definition often leads to poorly designed evaluations, or the use of the wrong evaluation method. Evaluations of products for children can be especially complex as they need to consider the different requirements and aims that such a product may have, and often use new or developing evaluation methods. This paper takes the view that evaluations should be planned from the start of a project in order to yield the best results, and proposes a framework to facilitate this. This framework is particularly intended to support the varied and often conflicting requirements of a product designed for children, as defined by the PLU model, but could be adapted for other user groups

Herbicide Evaluation Studies with Nutsedge

The herbicidal effectiveness of 16 chemicals on nutsedge control was studied at the Manoa Campus Farm and the Waimanalo Experiment Station. The studies consisted of five field experiments and two translocation greenhouse experiments which Included C14-labeled paraquat and MSMA. It was found that MSMA plus surfactant was the most promising herbicide to control nutsedge when compared to paraquat and aromatic oil. Five successive field applications of MSMA at 6#/A plus surfactant reduced tha nutsedge population by 30% over a period of eight months at the Manoa Campus Farm. DSMA and DMAA showed a similar response to MSMA. Paraquat and aromatic oil applications did not result in a significant reduction of the nutsedge population. The time of application was an important factor in the activity of the herbicides. Morning and noon applications gave better control with MSMA than paraquat if subsequent regrowth populations were considered. Paraquat applied in the early evening was more effective than the morning or noon applications for short term control. However, at six weeks after application there were no differences in stand between the morning, noon and evening treatments with paraquat. Post-emergence applications of bromacil and D-732 were more effective than D-767 and amitrole. Dichlobenil gave the most satisfactory control among the preplant and preemergence herbicides. R-1856 resulted in slightly better control than EPTC; however, good control of nutsedge was found with KPTC at 6#/A for a period of 5 to 6 weeks. CP 50144, R-7465 and U-22,326 were not effective in controlling nutsedge under the test conditions

Field Evaluation of Herbicides on Vegetables and Small Fruits 2004

Herbicide evaluation studies on vegetables and small fruits were conducted in 2004 at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station at Fayetteville, AR, in an effort to evaluate new herbicides, herbicide mixtures, and their application timings for weed control efficacy and crop tolerance. Results of these studies, in part, provide useful information to producers, fellow researchers, the Crop Protection Industry, and the IR-4 Minor Crop Pest Management Program in the development of potential new herbicide uses in vegetable, and fruit
