Applications of growth regulators and modifications of light exposures were investigated regarding their abilities to curtail the normal development of chlorophyll and glycoalkaloids in potato tubers responding to light . Four growth regulators were sprayed on the foliage of potato plants 14 days prior to harvest, of which two I (Ethephon and N6 -Benzyladenine [N6BA]) successfully retarded chlorophyll and glycoalkaloids in the harvested tubers. When tubers were dipped in N6BA, lower concentrations of the !chemical promoted glycoalkaloid formation, while larger amounts we~e more inhibitory . When fluorescent lights were directed through colored cellophane filters, tubers receiving yellow and orange illuminations were inhibited in chlorophyll formation and those receiving green illumination were most reduced in production of glycoalkaloids .

The purpose of this research was to investigate the additive therapeutic effects of a yoga intervention on the anxiety, depression and behavioral problems of conduct-disordered male adolescents in residential treatment. In addition, the moderating effects of callous-unemotional (CU) traits on outcome measures were assessed. The program consisted of a four-week intervention program in which participants were randomly assigned to either the yoga group (n=25), in which they practiced yoga with an instructor, or the control group (n=19), in which they met for a supervised study hall. The study included pre-testing on symptoms of anxiety, depression and CU traits, and post-testing on anxiety and depression measures only. Behavioral data were unavailable due to unanticipated program changes. A repeated measures MANOVA was utilized to investigate the benefits of yoga practice on a combined mental health variable that consisted of two dependent variables, anxiety and depression. A significant effect for time, but not for the interaction between time and group, was found. This indicated that both groups' scores decreased over time on the depression and anxiety variables, but that there was no statistically significant difference between the treatment groups' depression and anxiety scores over time. In spite of non-significant results, additional exploratory analysis was conducted. Results indicated a trend towards significantly greater decreases in anxiety outcomes for the yoga group vs. the control group over time. The moderating effects of CU traits on the relationships among the treatment conditions and anxiety outcomes were found to be non-significant. Limitations of the present research, including low sample size and statistical power, are discussed.

80 pp. / Arizona: Know Your Water. A consumer's guide to water source, quality, regulations and home water treatment. / This well owners guide presents detailed sections to assist the reader in becoming familiar with water quality concepts, drinking water guidelines and water testing. The reader can also become familiar with Arizona specific aquifers, conditions and activities that determine ground water quality. Well owners can also review and become familiar with well construction, components and maintenance needed for the safe and proper function of their wells. Finally, a section on water treatment technologies and selection, based on water quality conditions is presented. Well owners will be able to refer to this section for the selection of water treatments, should they choose to improve the water quality of their wells. Includes numerous illustrations.
