This paper is a metallurgical study of the microstructure of a
cobalt base hard facing alloy to determine the cause for inconsistant
wear properties. Wear tests on a Stellite 6 alloy, deposited using
oxyacetylene welding techniques, resulted in a wide range of weight
losses.
Microscopic examination has revealed the probable...

The utilization of historical data is suggested as an approach to
solving some of the difficulties involved in the estimating of activity
durations in critical path scheduling.
The historical data presented show the effects of various
weather conditions upon the performance of human labor and mechanical
equipment. When combined with...

of a specific group of retired women living in one...
One purpose of this study was to evaluate three commercial
detergents by comparing their removals at 70 and 120°F. of palmitic
acid and clay components of a simulated natural soil which had been
applied to wool yarns by immersion and abrasion methods. These
detergents were a built soap and two...
The use of radioactive isotopes as tracers in biological systems
has become widespread since the close of World War II. Proper
use of radiotracers requires a fundamental understanding of the physical
nature of radioactivity, the characteristics of ionizing radiation,
and the various methods available for measuring radioactivity.
More importantly, the...
Herbicides were tested for the selective control of bentgrass in
Kentucky bluegrass turf under three levels of competition. Best control
in zero competition was obtained with a winter treatment of
bromacil at two pounds per acre. Under circumferential and direct
competition, best control was obtained with a summer and fall...

The development of new electronic devices and design procedures
applicable to ternary switching circuits suggests that it might be desirable
to use ternary arithmetic in direct digital control systems.
The advantages of decimal, binary, and ternary arithmetic in digital
computers are discussed and a set of rules for signed -digit...
This study was an evaluation of fabric serviceability and consumer
acceptance of polypropylene blend knits. A review of
literature indicates a trend toward polypropylene blend fabrics for
wearing apparel, specifically for knits. The purpose of the research

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...
Studies were conducted to determine the nature of the interaction
between atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylaminos-
triazine) and magnesium on tomatoes. This interaction was
studied under two light regimes: continuous light and a 12-hour
photoperiod. Tomato plants were grown in sand cultures at three
levels of magnesium fertilization. Four weeks after planting,
atrazine...
