Seasonal control

The initial laboratory reports of tests on the cotton insects were promising and showed reduction of feeding of the boll weevil, boll-worm, and leafworm. Unfortunately, the compound did not perform well in the field. The general picture throughout the cotton belt seemed to be that the early season control under low population pressure was satisfactory, but under heavy pressure from increasing population, the compound was not effective. 

New systemic soil insecticides (nematocides) which will give seasonal control of resistant insects as well as nematodes.

These two control mechanisms undoubtedly act in unison to effect a coarse and a fine adjustment of the amount of light reaching the phycobiont layer. The lichen-acid screen contributes a seasonal control while variation in moisture content of the cortex exerts a variable diurnal control within the limits of light transmission set by the lichen-acid screen. The dorsal limit of the phycobiont layer can be considered to coincide with that part of the thallus above which the majority of the phycobiont cells cannot survive because of excessive light. Similarly,the ventral boundary indicates the limit of light intensity below which the majority of cells cannot survive.

Two-speed motors are typically used on noncondensing services where the process is not sensitive to temperature but mostly seasonal or variable throughput of fluids in the air cooler requires some degree of air flow control. This is a simple, rather inexpensive means to control air flow when volume air flow is not critical. Typical motor ratings are 1800/900 rpm, although 1800/1200 rpm types are available. 

Naturally Occurring Compounds. Many derivatives of iadole are found ia plants and animals where they are derived from the amino acid tryptophan. Several of these have important biological function or activity. Serotonin [50-67-9] (12) functions as a neurotransmitter and vasoconstrictor (35). Melatonin [73-31-4] (13) production is controlled daily by the circadian cycle and its physiological level iafluences, and seasonal rhythms ia humans and other species (36). Indole-3-acetic acid [87-51-4] (14) is a plant growth stimulant used ia several horticultural appHcations (37).

Although the varied uses for which DIR couplers are employed call for precise control over where the inhibitor diffuses, the very complexation mechanism by which inhibitors work would seem to preclude such control. The desired ability to target the inhibitor can be attained by the use of delayed release DIR couplers, which release not the inhibitor itself, but a diffusable inhibitor precursor or "switch" (Fig. 16) (98). Substituents (X, R) and stmctural design of the precursor permit control over both diffusivity and the rate of inhibitor release. Increasing the effective diffusivity of the inhibitor, however, means that more of it can diffuse into the developer solution where it can affect film in an undesirable, nonimagewise fashion. This can be minimized by the use of self-destmcting inhibitors that are slowly destroyed by developer components and do not build up or "season" the process (99). 

Flexible budgeting is more widely used than static budgeting despite certain logic difficulties. This is so because production in many cases is seasonal and the use of a static production norm might distort evaluation of performance. Variances are the difference between the actual costs expended and the budgeted costs expec ted. Variances are unfavorable if positive and favorable if negative. Any variance should be explained and, if necessaiy, controlled the largest variance should be considered first.
