Application of the Penman Equation to central Tunisia

Creator:: Abdelli, Smida
Abstract:: Four years of daily weather observations from Central Tunisia were available for testing the application of the Penman Equation to estimate reference evapotranspiration in the arid climate of Central Tunisia. The data included minimum and maximum temperature, minimum and maximum relative humidity, 24-hour wind run, and lysimeter measurements of reference...

Concepts to consider in developing a microcomputer simulation model to promote understanding of linkages between the macroeconomy and agriculture in a developing country

Creator:: Ndzinge, Loftus O.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to discuss concepts and strategies that provide a general framework which can be used to develop a microcomputer simulation model for educating senior public officials on the linkages between the macroeconomy and agriculture in a developing country. Tradition has it that agriculture is preeminently...

An analysis of the relationship between the preferred cognitive learning style of field independence/field dependence and success in learning English as a second language among post-secondary Japanese students

Creator:: McNaught, Susan C.
Abstract:: The research analyzed the relationship between the preferred cognitive learning style of field independence/field dependence and success in learning English as a second language (ESL) among post-secondary Japanese students. The study provided a review of literature in the field and developed a methodology including identification of appropriate measurement instruments. The...

A computer simulation model of seasonal transpiration in Douglas-fir based on a model of stomatal resistance

Creator:: Reed, Kenneth Lee, 1942-
Abstract:: Four study sites were selected along an altitudinal gradient on Mt. Ashland in the Siskiyou Mountains of southern Oregon. The altitudinal gradient roughly corresponded to a gradient in temperature and water availability ranging from very hot and dry to cool and moist. Air and soil temperatures were continuously measured on...

Consolidation characteristics of calcareous deep sea-floor sediments from the Panama Basin

Creator:: Kao, Yeoung Ting
Abstract:: Calcareous sediments containing a large percentage of foraminiferal microskeletal tests were taken from sites in the Panama Basin and subjected to an investigation to determine the consolidation characteristics of this type of soil. The consolidation-stress curves and the time rate of consolidation curves in particular were investigated in this study....

Nucleate boiling of various fluids in a thermosiphon reboiler

Creator:: Oufer, Lounes
Abstract:: A study of nucleate boiling of water, four alcohols and three ethanol-water mixtures was conducted in a vertical thermosiphon reboiler. The test section consisted of a 1/2- inch diameter electrically heated stainless-steel rod jacketed by a 15-inch long pyrex glass tube. Two different inside diameters of the glass tube corresponding...

Numerical studies of mesoscale eddies using quasigeostrophic and primitive equation ocean models

Creator:: Batteen, Mary L.
Abstract:: The dynamical role of mesoscale eddies in the ocean general circulation is investigated using eddy-resolving quasigeostrophic (QG) and primitive equation (FE) models which are parametrically identical. The results of both QG and FE numerical experiments in mid-latitude, rectangular ocean basins are systematically intercompared and extensively analyzed in terms of basic...

Characterization of selected plant communities within the Tillamook Burn in northwestern Oregon

Creator:: Bailey, Arthur W.
Abstract:: A study was initiated in 1961 to characterize seral plant communities in a part of the Cedar Creek drainage in the Tillamook Burn. Stratification of vegetation into ecological units was a necessary first step in conifer-animal damage studies supported by the Oregon State Game Commission. Reconnaissance information was recorded in...

Environmental and genetic factors affecting seed set in Dactylis glomerata L.

Creator:: West, David L.
Abstract:: Field, growth chamber, and greenhouse studies were carried out to evaluate factors that cause low seed set in Dactylis Glomerata L. The variety, 'Latar', and the parental clones of the variety, 'Pennlate', were studied in detail. Floral anatomy investigations indicated that 98 percent of Dactylis flowers opened at Corvallis in...
