The critical buckling load for round tapered columns with variable
end fixity is presented. The theory used is presented together
with the general solution for the resulting differential equation. This
general solution is solved by use of a computer. The computer program
written specifically for this thesis, the flow chart,...
A survey of natural regeneration of Doug1as-fir and associated species was made on 15 staggered-setting cuttings four and five years after logging. These areas were on the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest which is located in the McKenzie River area of western Oregon. Five types of cuttings were represented: (1)...
The effect of competition on the brood survival of the Douglas fir
beetle Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins, in down or windthrown
Douglas-fir Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco was studied in the
field and the laboratory. The investigation of the role of competition
in the population dynamics of the beetle had four objectives:...
The methanolysis of phosphorus trichloride coordinated to nickel
(0) has been studied. Free phosphorus trichloride reacts with methanol
to give dimethyl hydrogen phosphonate, methyl chloride, and hydrogen
chloride. The reaction involves a rearrangement on phosphorus using
the lone pair, in which the coordination number increases from three
to four. In...
The spectrophotometric method for the determination of the
acid nonextractable flavin in the proteolytic digest of the trichloroacetic
acid precipitate from the heart muscle preparation has been
examined for the interference of the degraded hemeproteins. The
proteolytic digest was chromatographically separated into the heme
and flavin fractions. Spectrophotometric determinations made...
The purposes of this investigation were to measure the relative
levels of enzymatic and respiratory metabolism of some vertically
migrating mesopelagic fishes collected from the ocean waters off
Oregon and to modify and adapt an enzyme method for use as a measure
of metabolic activity at sea with a minimum...
