This thesis describes the design of a RISC architecture
for high speed data acquisition. The structure of existing
data acquisition systems is first examined. An instruction
set is created to allow the data acquisition system to serve
a wide variety of applications. The architecture is designed
to allow the execution...

Composition and structure of Oregon ash
(Fraxinus latifolia) woodlands in the William L. Finley
National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon are described. Twenty
stands dominated by Fraxinus latifolia were sampled with
500 m2 circular macroplots in which floristic microplot
data were collected for plant community synthesis. Plant
communities were identified by computer-assisted...
This thesis is concerned with the design of the high speed tape
read-out and tape feed control circuits and interface to the PDP-8/L
Computer system, The system was designed to operate under the
programmed data transfer mode of the computer, and is compatible
with the computer manufacturer's system.
The circuit...
This thesis is concerned with the design of the interface--Read,
Write and control circuits--of the magnetic disc with the PDP-8/L
Computer system. The interface was designed to operate under the
Data Break transfer mode of the computer and is compatible with the
computer manufacturer's system.
The Data Break option was...
Cytokinin oxidase activity in callus tissues of
Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Great Northern has been examined
using an assay based on the oxidation of radioactively
labeled N⁶ -(Δ² -isopentenyl) adenine (i⁶Ade) to adenine
(Ade). Conditions for the quantitative extraction and
assay of the enzyme have been established. The substrate
specificity...
Senecio jacobaea (tansy ragwort) is a common weed in the
Pacific Northwest that contains toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids
(PAs). Jacobine, the major PA in Senecio jacobaea, was incubated
with rat liver microsomes and metabolites were isolated by high
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and identified by mass
spectrometric analysis. Metabolites included a...
In October, 2016, presidential candidate Donald Trump released a document titled “Contract with the American Voter.” This document promised, among many things, that within his first 100 days of his potential presidency, he would repeal and replace Obamacare. When he was unable to fulfill that promise, he employed rhetorical tactics...
