A wilderness area, as administered by the U. S. Forest Service, is a tract of undeveloped land over 100,000 acres in size with no roads or provision for motorized transportation. Commercial timber cutting, hotels, stores, and similar developments are prohibited. While there are some exceptions for private holdings and administrative...
Electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power measurements
have been made over the temperature range of 450° to 600°C on
n-type liquid thalliurn-tellurium solutions. Liquids with compositions
from 61.5 to 72.0 atomic percent thallium were studied. In addition,
alloys of some of the three component thallium-teIlurium solutions
containing small amounts of silver,...
The mechanism of continuously chlorinated silver-silver
chloride electrode performance was studied by using a wiped, rotating,
partially submerged, cylindrical silver cathode. The cell
performance using a zinc anode was measured, and the rate of
chlorination of silver was calculated for several water saturated
chlorine atmospheres.
At 75°F, with a chlorine...
The diffusion coefficients of several chlorinated hydrocarbons
in air were determined by using an Arnold cell. The chlorinated
hydrocarbons used were carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, 1, 2-
dichloroethane and dichloromethane. To determine the reliability
of the experimental method, diffusion coefficients were obtained
for benzene and ethanol. These were compared with diffusion...
Agricultural education at the high school level, like all vocational programs, is expanding vertically as well as horizontally. With this increased emphasis placed on vocational agriculture, the shortage of teachers is already being felt and the situation will, in all probability, become more critical.
The expansion of the programs to...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a
tutoring program and a traditional program in improving achievement
for students registered in low achiever English classes in reading
comprehension, language usage skills and spelling as well as student
interest in the study of English. For this study...
Changes in sea level during the past 20,000 years are recorded
in sediments taken from the continental shelf off the Rogue River,
Oregon. Sea level has risen approximately 125 m. during the
Holocene (Curray, 1965) and the general transgression has been
interrupted by several stillstands and minor regressions.
Box core...
Farmer cooperatives have often maintained inflexible capital structures which severely restrict members' freedom to allocate their own capital in a most profitable manner. This study was conducted to provide insights into how cooperative finance programs might be modified to provide increased capital and, at the same time, be more acceptable...
