Rationality of moduli of vector bundles on curves (1999)
The moduli space M(r,d) of stable, rank r, degree d vector bundles on a smooth projective curve of genus g>1 is shown to be birational to M(h,0) x A, where h=hcf(r,d) and A is affine space of...

Nonlogarithmic death rate calculations for Byssochlamys fulva and other microorganisms.
King, A D, Bayne, H G, Alderton, G
Survivor curves for heat-resistant ascospores of Byssochlamys fulva exposed to lethal heat were nonlogarithmic. At lower heating temperatures, the log survivor curves were characterized by a shoulder...
Dichloran-rose bengal medium for enumeration and isolation of molds from foods.
King, A D, Hocking, A D, Pitt, J I
Overgrowth by spreading molds such as Rhizopus and Mucor species is a problem with fungal enumeration media used for foods. Thirty-one antifungal compounds were surveyed for their ability to...

Antimicrobial Protection of Moisturized Deglet Noor Dates
Bolin, H. R., King, A. D., Stanley, W. L., Jurd, L.
The growth of Saccharomyces rouxii and Saccharomyces mellis, which are two of the main spoilage organisms of dates, can be inhibited by various treatments. The most effective treatment found in this...
Gas-Volume Measurement System for Evaluating Effectiveness of Antimicrobial Compounds
King, A. D., Stanley, W. L., Bolin, H. R.
Yeast spoilage was followed by measuring gas volume produced inside a sealed bag of inoculated fruit. Volume of gas produced correlates with plate counts.
King, A. D., Bayne, H. G., Jurd, L., Case, C.
Factors influencing the antimicrobial properties of obtusastyrene and dihydro-obtusastyrene were studied. Both of these compounds were soluble in acetone, alcohol, and olive oil. In water, they were...
