- Description:
- In order to develop an improved understanding of the extent to which tannin chemistry can vary within a single variety, samples form 38 blocks (three replicates) of Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from regions of California ranging from the southern San Joaquin Valley through Sonoma were studied. Blocks represented variation in allocation grade as assessed by the cooperating winery, and growing climate. Tannin information was collected from exhaustive extracts of isolated skin and seed tissue as well as from a partial extraction system designed to investigate the potential impact of physiological integrity of tannin extraction. Extracted tannins were purified by solid phase extraction and analyzed by acid-catalyzed cleavage in the presence of excess phloroglucinol which provided information on subunit composition and average degree of polymerization. In addition, purified tanning extracts were analyzed by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), which provided information on tannin size distribution and flavan-3-ol amount. For berry samples, berry weight varied from 0.72-1.36 gm/berry and 1.3-1.8 seeds/berry with no observed geographical relationship. For exhaustive seed extracts, the tannin average molecular mass at 50%, as determined by GPC, varied form 2331-3646 molecular mass units, with no concentration ranging from 1.2-3.1 mg/gm berry weight for tannin, an d0.07-0.36 mg/gm berry weight for flavan-3-ol monomers. For exhaustive skin extracts, (-)-epigallocatechin subunits comprised 34-48 mol % of total extension subunits. The proportion of skin tannin in the partial extraction system varied from 36-86% suggesting a large potential variation in the wine skin tannin contribution. Overall, the results from this study indicate that across regions a large impact on fruit tannin concentration and compostion.

- This analysis utilized the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) to investigate determinants of mother and father involvement among families of children previously diagnosed with disabilities participating in a state-run early intervention program. Actor effects were found from parenting self-efficacy (PSE) and parental role salience for both mothers and fathers. One partner effect was found from mother couple relationship quality on father involvement.

- Description:
- Harvest decisions have significant effects on finished wine. The most commonly used indicators of ripeness measures sugars, acids, and pH, but they do not provide much information about a wine’s anticipated quality and may overlook some of the most important aspects of quality grape growing, namely, the development of desirable flavor and aroma compounds. Grape phenolic content has been linked to wine quality. …..Phenolic material is located in the cell’s vacuole. While phenolics are a contributor to wine quality, they should not be viewed as the definitive metric, but rather, an indication of grape “readiness”. The aim of this study is to determine the connection between initial release of phenolic material and wine composition in order to develop a new analytical method for grape “readiness” measurement.

- Description:
- Parents of young children with disabilities engage with their children in ways that are simultaneously similar to and distinct from parents of children without disabilities. This study examined the measurement equivalence of a self-report scale of parental engagement piloted among parents of children receiving early intervention services. The survey included generic as well as unique elements of parental involvement. Exploratory factor analyses demonstrated a unidimensional structure for both mothers and fathers. Dyadic confirmatory factor analysis provided evidence of configural and metric equivalence. These results indicate that mothering and fathering can successfully be examined using the same measure of parental engagement.
