Systems Tableau is suggested as a convenient tool for the
integration of the three phases of systems theory: the synthesis of
a model from the analysis of a system; the evaluation of the model;
and the decision-making process for the design and control of the
resulting system.
From a basic...
New syntheses for 2-bicyclo(3.3.1)nonanone and 7-bicyclo-(3.3.1)nonen-2-one were developed. The saturated ketone was prepared
from phenol and acrylonitrile via a novel intramolecular
S[subscript N]2 cyclization process. A Friedel-Crafts cyclization of 3-(3-cyclohexenyl)propanoyl chloride permitted synthesis of the unsaturated
ketone from 4-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde. The formation of
the bicyclo(3.3.1)nonane rather than a bicyclo(3.2.2)nonane skeleton...
Rat luteal cells from functional and non-functional
corpora lutea (corpora lutea rendered non-functional by
hypophysectomy) were preserved for light and electron
microscopy in Bouin's and glutaraldehyde-osmium fixation
respectively. Material for electron microscopy was dehydrated
with ethanol, embedded in Araldite and stained
with lead hydroxide or uranyl acetate-lead citrate. Examination
of...
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon
was introduced into culture in a precipitate -free medium developed
by modification of McLachlan's ASM medium. This medium ASMT
No. 8 contained no organic substances other than ethylendiaminetetraacetate
(EDTA) and Trishydroxymethylamino methane (Tris),
and was developed by modifying the concentrations of certain elements,...
The purpose of this study is to compare in selected outcomes the
effectiveness of an integrated chemistry-physics course with chemistry
and physics courses taught separately.
Six classes, three of which studied an integrated course prepared
from content of the CBA chemistry course and the PSSC physics
course and three of...
Two populations of the pine needle scale, Phenacaspis pinifoliae
(Fitch), were studied. One population was located in Corvallis,
Oregon, and the other population was located near Santiam Pass,
Oregon. Both populations were feeding on Pinus contorta.
The Corvallis population was unisexual, univoltine, and over
wintered as both eggs and adult...
