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...
This investigation represents a previously unreported method
of measurement of internal friction in single crystals of silicon. The
method consists of exciting a rectangular reed of silicon of uniform
cross section into forced vibration at its resonant frequency. The end
of the reed is silver plated and eddy currents induced...
Members of the family Simuliidae were studied in a single,
confined drainage system. In addition to determining the occurrence
and distribution of the species present, biological and ecological
observations were made. Specific measurements and observations
were accomplished to determine as much as possible about the habitat
specificity and life cycle...
Nearly 9,000 feet of Cretaceous mudstones, shales, sandstone,
and conglomerates are exposed along the northeast-trending Mitchell
anticline of central Oregon, These rocks are divided into two formations
on the basis of criteria developed in this investigation. The
lower formation, hereby designated the Meyers Formation, is 4,716
feet thick at its...
The Permian rocks near Quinn River Crossing, Humboldt County,
Nevada, crop out as a north-trending block-faulted ridge and consist
of more than 2600 feet of middle Permian fossiliferous limestone.
About 1000 feet of unfossiliferous cherty shales, sandstones, and
conglomerates are associated with the limestone and are assumed also
to be...
The noise problem in air conditioning systems is receiving ever
increasing attention because of the importance of noise on a comfortable
human environment. Some work has been done on the solutions
to the noise problem by an investigation of a few system elements.
The acourstical characteristics of dampers become more...
FORTRAN is readily feasible to translation into ALGOL since
they share many common features. Most of the features that are
unique to FORTRAN can be translated by restricting them somewhat.
The translator will handle explicit declarations of each item
in a block, compensate for the differences in various operators,
compensate...
The impact of the electronic computer on the teaching
of mathematics, science, and engineering has created
the need for a relatively low cost instructional digital
computer. SPEDTAC (stored Program Educational Digital
Transistorized Automatic Computer) was designed specifically
to fulfill this need.
The prototype described is a serial, solid state,
single...
A set of circuit analysis programs designed for the IBM 1620
computer (having 40,000 digits of memory) is described and its operation
is explained. The set consists of d-c, a-c, and transient analysis
programs.
The d-c and a-c analysis programs provide the branch current
and node-to-reference potential for linear circuits....
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...
During the six-month period of July through December, 1966,
a study of animals inhabiting laminarian holdfasts in Yaquina Bay,
Oregon, was carried out to determine what animals live in this habitat
and to gain some idea of the factors which influence their presence
and distribution. This study deals with yet...
The present study is an attempt to investigate some of the relationships
between certain personality characteristics and expressed
preferences for various communication structures; it is also an
examination of the relative efficiency of the networks used.
Subjects drawn from the university population participated in
experimentally formed five-person groups. These groups...
