The original purpose of this research was to study the
metabolic pathway to the synthesis of glutamyl polypeptide
in B. licheniformis. Colonies of B. licheniformis 9945A,
when grown on an appropriate medium appear very smooth
as a result of glutamyl polypeptide accumulation. The plan
of approach was to obtain mutants...
The ecological interrelationships of mites occurring in
and near the Hood River Valley, Oregon, pome fruit orchards
were investigated to determine the possibility of an integrated
control program using the species already present.
Survey sampling methods were used to study mites on wild
hosts (Crataegus douglasii Lindl., Crataegus columbiana Howell,...
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...
