Studies of some components of test weight in Soft White wheat
revealed distinct subclass differences. Wheat kernels of Soft White
more completely occupied a given volume than did kernels of White
Club. The Soft White kernels were larger and had a higher density
than the White Club kernels. Because of...
The purpose of the present study has been the specification
and measurement of the characteristics of the intraseasonal demand
for fresh Bartlett pears. In particular, the study has focused
attention on a particular producing area, the Rogue River Valley
of Oregon.
The intraseasonal analysis for fresh Bartlett pears was
performed...
The Petchburi Irrigation Project was built in the southern part of
the Central Plain of Thailand in 1942. The purpose of the project was
to divert water from the Petchburi River to irrigate the principal part
of the Petchburi Plain where lands were used for rice and upland crop
production....
A statistical analysis of extreme chinooks in Montana as they
relate to large scale atmospheric circulation changes is the subject
of this thesis.
A mean chinook situation was identified which indicated that a
critical pattern of the surface flow always contained a Polar or
Arctic airmass which overspread the prairie...
The literature cites several examples of investigations made
concerning the size of bubbles rising in small particle fluidized beds
at room temperature. In many practical applications, however, fluidized
beds require the use of large particles at very high temperatures.
Despite this fact, little information has been reported on bubble size...
In the face of climate change droughts are predicted to become more persistent, further intensifying the need for accurately predicting the timing and magnitude of summer streamflow in rivers. In order to determine the sensitivity of a watershed to drought, there is a need to describe what these drought conditions...
The object of this research study is to investigate and provide
some fundamental information about bed slumping in a partially defluidized
bed combustor. Due to the difficulty in making measurements and
observations at high temperature, a dynamically similar cold phase
fluidized bed was used to model the high temperature case....
Cell aggregate size in both Douglas-fir and poplar suspension cultures was reduced by the addition of the chelator compounds EDTA and CDTA at concentrations under 100 ppm. Reduced cell aggregate size increased growth efficiency of suspension cultures of both species. Cell aggregates 550 j.z. or smaller in size were used...
