The detritus balls had been found to be effective as food for the survival of the cockles (blood cockle, Anadara granosa, Linnaeus 1785) kept in captivity but have not been tested in the field. In this study two plots of farm areas each measuring 20 m X 20 m were selected as testing fields where one served as test plot and the other was the control plot. Initially, there were cockles present in both plots aged about 18 months old measuring between 19 mm to 29 mm and only test plot was treated with 100 detritus balls. After the six months period (from January

Controlled atmosphere (CA) storage of horticulture crops involves the holding of such produce in refrigerated storage with a reduction of oxygen and an increase in carbon dioxide. The effect of controlled atmospheres on the keeping quality of Centennial, Jersey, Goldrush, Nemagold, Oklamar, and Porto Rico sweetpotato varieties was studied in the 1963-65 period. Evaluations were made of decay loss, weight and dry matter loss, soluble solids percent, carotene content, taste of raw and baked roots, keeping after storage, and the ability of roots to sprout. In 1963-64, ranges of carbon dioxide from 0 to 15 percent were used in combination with 2 to 16 percent oxygen. Sweetpotato roots stored under atmospheres having an oxygen level below 7 percent or a carbon dioxide level above 10 percent developed a high percent of roots with either an alcoholic flavor or an off-flavor. Sweetpotatoes under an atmosphere of 3 percent carbon dioxide and 7 percent oxygen (3-7) had better quality than check lots as evaluated by low total losses due to decay and weight loss, higher dry matter content and a low dry matter loss, high total soluble solids and a high percent of acceptable tasting roots. The only disadvantage of this CA treatment was a higher loss due to decay upon holding at room temperature for one month after storage. However, this high loss was not significantly different from the open air check. In 1964-65 controlled atmosphere levels of 2 to 7 percent carbon dioxide in combination with 7 to 11 percent oxygen were used. Results similar to those of 1963-64 were obtained in 1964-65. Sweetpotatoes under an atmosphere of 2-7 in a gas generated CA room, had better storage quality as measured by low total losses, low dry matter disappearance, higher total soluble solids and a high percent of acceptable tasting roots compared to the checks. Roots removed from CA in 1964-65 and held at room temperature for one month did not exhibit the high decay found in the 1963-64 season. Decay

69A3551747115/TTI-05-01, The large-scale assessment of how driving behavior affects traffic safety and ongoing surveillance is hindered by data collection difficulties, small sample sizes, and high costs. Connected vehicles (CV) now offer massive volumes of observed driving behavior data from newer vehicles with myriad electronics and sensors that monitor the state of the vehicle, environmental conditions, and the driver’s actions. This project evaluated the viability of CV data in roadway safety applications with the objective of improving existing predictive crash methods, measuring traffic speed and its relationship to crashes, and determining whether CV data could be used to evaluate pavement marking products. The research team developed safety performance functions (SPFs) for rural two-lane segments and urban intersections in Texas. The results showed that the SPFs improved with the addition of hard braking and hard acceleration counts in a majority of areas. Further, a variety of CV speed measures were generated from the CV data and were shown to have conflicting correlations with crash risk and counts. Lastly, the research team developed the data processing methods for evaluating pavement marking products but was unable to perform an evaluation due to the lack of detailed construction project records.
