A liquid sulfur dioxide battery, such as K/KCl SbCl₅ (0.25
molar) + IBr₃ (15 %wt) + SO₂ (1)/carbon matrix is shown to have an
open circuit voltage greater than 3.70 volts and an initial voltage of
3.15 volts, decreasing to 2.40 volts in 10 minutes at a current density
of...
Myxobacteria are known to occur in the aquatic environment,
however, little information is available regarding the taxonomy of
these organisms. This investigation was initiated in an attempt to
classify a group of fresh water cytophagas on the basis of biochemical
and physiological as well as cultural and morphological characteristics.
The...
The purpose of this work was to design a system for measuring
the velocity of a powder actuated fastener or drivepin during penetration.
This system would provide a tool for further investigation
into drivepin penetration characteristics. The main characteristic
of interest is the instantaneous acceleration from which the forces
on...
During the spring of 1963 and 1964 an investigation of a small
mammal community was made in McDonald Forest, near Corvallis, Oregon.
The revised North American Census of Small Mammals procedure was
used, and from this census the species composition of the community
was determined. The relationships of several genera...
For the past six years a bacterial infection has been the cause
of large losses of adult, spawning, American shad (Alosa
sapidissima) in the Coos, Millicoma and Smith Rivers of Oregon.
There was a sizable commercial fishery for shad in these rivers
and losses of fish due to this infection...
While the genus Cytophaga has been defined and classified on
a morphological basis, knowledge of fresh water members of this
group of myxobacteria is scanty. In the present study cultural and
morphological characteristics were investigated in an attempt to
classify a group of fresh water cytophaga.
Microscopic examination revealed all...
Most studies of bacteria in water have concerned public health; little attention has been given to organisms which are indigenous to
the aquatic environment. Myxobacteria are known to occur in soil,
in the marine environment, and several have been studied in relation
to diseases of salmonid fishes. However, little information...
