Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) which is distinctly characterized by rapid growth rate, strong central stem tendency, average time of leafing, and excellent straightness (little sweep and few crooks) thereby producing excellent timber qualities. The new variety has good nut qualities as well as abundant annual to biennial crops of large-sized nuts, begins nut-bearing early in life of tree, average 2 nuts per cluster, and produces kernels which exceed about twenty (20) percent of nut weight. The nuts are large and ripen in mid-season. The pistillate flowers mature early while pollen maturity is late. In most years there is no overlap in female and male flowering. Flowering begins very early in the life of the tree. This new variety of black walnut tree was discovered by the applicant near Silverville in Lawrence County, Ind., in a cultivated area.

Abstract: Ground mixtures of conventional Portland cementmaking components are mixed with relatively small amounts of boron-containing components, and the mixtures are burned at kiln temperatures substantially below those normally utilized to form clinker. The .[.resultant clinker is more easily grindable than that produced in conventional processes of Portland cement production, and the.]. cement resulting from the grinding of the clinker yields cementitious products possessing substantially higher compressive strength than is exhibited by Portland cement made from the same components in the absence of the boron-containing component.

Abstract: In a fly-back transformer, the tertiary winding for obtaining the secondary B power source is wound in a position where the coupling with the primary winding is weak and where it interlinks the leakage flux of the secondary winding with the primary winding, and the output of the tertiary winding is rectified during the scanning period of a horizontal deflection circuit of a television receiver. Accordingly, only the wave crest value of the ringing is made smaller, regardless of the shot pulse to be obtained within the secondary winding.

Abstract: Method for production of granular ammonium polyphosphate fertilizer in which ammonium polyphosphate melt is prepared in a simple inline reactor and distributed onto a bed of solids in a drum granulator to bind smaller fertilizer particles into granules. The desired polyphosphate content can be obtained in the granular product by adjusting the total heat input of the feed reactants to the reactor by means of energy conservation modifications to the system. Energy losses from the reaction system are controlled by use of a predetermined quantity of insulation so that varying amounts of the maximum theoretical heat input can be utilized to produce products of polyphosphate contents as desired.

Abstract: A process, and a composition of matter utilized therein, to obtain transformation of the glochidia of freshwater mussels to the juvenile stage.
