    index, and chemicals used. Bibliography includes 30 sources. LITERATURE REVIEW Baker, R. V.; Hughs, S. E. (1997). Full-Scale Evaluation of New Long-Cone Cyclone. Proceedings  of the 1997 Beltwide Cotton Production Research Conferences. Long cone cylone is found to out-perform a 1D3D cyclone that had a flattop inlet transition. Long cone produced  a 21.6 percent lower emission, as were the pressure requirements. However, the use of an expansion chamber on the long cone cyclone was not significant in improving performance.  Baker, R. V.; Hughs, S. E.; Gillum, S. M., et al (1996). Improvements for Cotton gin Trash Cyclones. ASAE Paper number 961107, 14pp. Using cyclone collectors and  covered condenser drums it was found that state emissions standards could be met effectively. This sufficiently reduces the amount of dust and lint fly to be approved by the  state and federal air quality control agencies. Barker, G. L.; Laird, J. W. (1997). Moisture Transfer Rates for gin run cotton seed. Proceedings of the 1997 Beltwide  Cotton Production Research Conferences. A study completed in order to determine the effects of temperature on drying rates. Results indicated there are two absorption phases with the  first phase being physical in nature and the second phase indicating a metabolic activity increase. Baughman, Tom (1999, October). Cyclone on Sticky Cotton. Soil Crops, Texas A&M  University. It was found in a study that using Cyclone, a usually effective harvest aid chemical, on a cotton that has been made sticky due to aphids, leaving a  type of honeydew residue on cotton plants, makes the Cyclone an ineffective defoliant or dessicant.
