The drift velocity of electrons in pure hydrogen, in pure deuterium, and in mixtures thereof, has been observed at low pressures using the following pulse technique for these gases for the first time. Plane parallel electrodes of a known separation and immersed in the gas to be studied are connected...
Ten helminth-free sheep were given two doses of 10,000,
X-irradiated, H. contortus, third stage larvae 30 days apart. These
animals and a group of ten non-vaccinated sheep were challenged
with 50,000, normal, H. contortus, third stage larvae 60 days
following the second vaccination. Antibody levels were measured
in both groups...
The primary purpose of this investigation was to characterize
the lipids of the spores and vegetative cells of Cl. botulinum. A
second purpose was to explore the possibility that lipids might serve
as a means of differentiating the chiefly proteolytic Cl. botulinum
type B from the nonproteolytic Cl. botulinum types...
The three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor is rugged, compact,
inexpensive, can be totally enclosed and requires little maintenance.
Its use as a variable speed drive has been limited, however, by the
state-of-the art of control components.
The advent and continuing development of the silicon controlled
rectifier and associated solid-state components has...
An instruction set and programming examples are described for
a Distributed Logic Memory computer organization. The computer is
designed to take advantage of the economies of very large-scale circuit
integration. In addition, the computer can grow in an orderly
way. As it grows there is increased parallelism possible so that...
This report is one of a series issued in cooperation with the ANC-23 Panel on Composite Construction for Flight Vehicles of the Departments of the Air Force, Navy, and Commerce.
Longevity and germination of seed of western dwarfmistletoe (Arceuthobium campylopodum Engelm. f. campylopodum) of ponderosa
pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) was investigated to determine:
1) the influence of humidity and temperature on seed viability and
deterioration during storage; 2) the physiology of seed dormancy;
3) the composition of seed reserve food...
