This paper presents an exposition of the stochastic models
for the Brownian motion. The results of Einstein and Wiener are
presented, together with the Uhlenbeck-Ornstein process which
gives a more realistic model of the Brownian motion of a particle.
Finally, applying a one-one transformation on the forward
Kolmogorov equation we...
The enclosed thesis presents an algorithm, programmed
in FORTRAN IV, which generates the radii for
the objective of an astronomical refracting telescope.
The results are analyzed by the Trigonometric Ray
Trace, and found to have tolerable amounts of spherical
aberration, chromatic aberration and coma.
Research was initiated to find a secondary bleach to remove brown discoloration on sulfur dioxide brined sweet cherries. In addition, studies were carried out to determine the effects on texture of not only the secondary bleaches, but also the primary bleach (sulfur dioxide). Three bleaches were found to remove the...
The ecological and silvicultural importance of snowbrush,
Ceanothus velutinus, in the areas west of the summit of the Oregon
Cascades was studied. Particular attention has been given its nitrogen-
fixing ability under both field and greenhouse conditions.
On west slopes of the Oregon Cascades snowbrush occurs above
2, 500 feet...
This study attempted to analyze the educational problems of
Tamil women, one of the communal groups in Ceylon, to trace in
broad outline the development of their education from the earliest
times to the present day, and to ascertain particularly the quality
and importance of Home Economics Education in the...
The role of nitrate oxygen as a terminal acceptor of hydrogen
stands as a unique form of bacterial respiration. As nitrate is reduced
to nitrite on to the gaseous state (N₂, N₂O) the substrate is
oxidized to give the requisite energy for cell growth. The present
study will deal with...
When nitrate is used in a biological electron transport
system as the final acceptor of hydrogen to form water,
the system is characterized as "Nitrate Respiration." However,
the quantitative expression of the over-all participation
of NO₃⁻(0) in the oxidation of glucose by denitrifiers
such as Pseudomonas stutzeri deserves clarification.
In...
