Acidity distribution within any given soil profile is dependent on
mineralogical make-up of the parent material as well as environmental conditions prevalent during the weathering history of the soil.
An experiment was designed to study the distribution pattern of exchange acidity, exchangeable aluminum, exchangeable manganese and
pH of six acid...
AT-cut piezoelectric quartz crystals coated with low vapor
pressure materials are evaluated as digital transducers in completely
digital detection systems for monitoring gas streams. Mathematical
relations describing the detectors are developed and tested. Specific
application is made to monitoring gaseous sulfur compounds commonly
found in stack effluents of pulp mills....
Optimization of the galvanovoltammetric determination of dissolved
chlorine in a flowing stream was achieved through the use of
an analog computational device and improvements in the design of the
galvanovoltammetric cell and accompanying electronic circuitry. An
analysis system, applicable to industrial use over a range of flow
rates and dissolved...
The application of lime to an acid Nekia soil significantly
increased the yield of winter wheat and alfalfa in a field experiment.
Crop yields maximized when the lime was partially mixed into the surface
four inches of the soil. Thorough mixing of the lime into the
surface six inches of...
This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
