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...
Three viruses were isolated from dahlias using a modification of
Yarwood's leaf-disc method of inoculation. Two of these isolates have
been reported previously in dahlias. In addition, a fourth virus was
isolated using a liquid-nitrogen transmission technique.
Dahlia virus isolate 1 possessed host range and thermal inactivation
properties similar to...
A saprozoic nematode, Diplogaster lheriteiri Maupas 1919,
was studied to determine its relationship to the plant pathogenic bacteria,
Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Smith and Townsend) Conn.,
Erwinia amylovora (Burrill) Winslow et al., Erwinia carotovora
(Jones) Holland, Pseudomonas phaseolicola (Burk. ) Dows.,
Xanthomonas campestris (Pam. ) Dows. and to a phage of A....
The effects of vertical ground motion are particularly significant
in the design of highway bridge girders. Conventional codes do
not recommend methods for solving the problem. The intent of this
work is to suggest an approach for such design.
A set of curves for velocity spectra which are the average...
The thesis area is located in the southeastern corner of Harney County, Oregon. This portion of Oregon is situated in the northern part of the Basin and Range province, and is characterized by both mafic and silicic extrusives, and localized nonmarine sediments and
tuffs ranging in age from middle (?)...

species are newly described and illustrated including
Iotonchus bangkokensis, Iotopchus ainostomos, Iotonchus
chantabunensis, Iotonchus ravonqensis, fotonchus thai-Iandensis, and Miconchus triodontus. Also reported is a
