A rapid expansion of population and industrialization in recent
years has created new and difficult problems in water resources
management. Prudent management of water quality will require that
more efficient methods be developed for evaluating large volumes of
data on complex river systems, and tabulating the results in a form...
Questionnaires were mailed to farmers in six counties of the
Willamette Valley requesting the kind and size of enterprises and the
gross income received from the enterprises on each farm.
Enterprises were defined both as general livestock or crop categories
and as individual crop or livestock enterprises. Two computer
programs...
Solubility studies on the heavy metal sulfides in liquid hydrogen
sulfide at room temperature were carried out using the isopiestic
method. The results were compared with earlier work and with a
theoretical result based on Raoult's Law. A relative order for the
solubilities of sulfur and the sulfides of tin,...
The infrared spectra of the metaborate monomer and trimer
ions in NaC1, KC1, and KBr were studied. These spectra contain
bands due to the trimer in solid solution, in a second phase of the appropriate
potassium or sodium salt, and perhaps on adjacent lattice
sites. Furthermore, complex equilibria exist between...
A comparison was made of the d.c. conductivity of KCI:Pb²⁺
and KCl:PbO single crystals at temperatures greater than 325°C.
The energy of activation was 0.72 ev for all crystals. Lead concentration
was determined by chemical, optical and electrical methods. The
half band width of the UV absorption band at 273...
