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...
This report presents a characterization of the quantum mechanical
analog of the Gibbs canonical density. The approach is
based on a method developed by D.S. Carter for the case of classical
statistical mechanics, which considers composite mechanical systems
composed of mechanically and statistically independent components.
After a brief introductory chapter,...
The effect of 2-aminoethyl-2-thiopseudourea[superscript .]Br[superscript .]HBr (AET),
2-mercaptoethylamine[superscript .]HC1 (MEA) and trisodium calcium chelate of
diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (CaNa₃DTPA) on the radiosensitivity
of rat fetus was investigated. A total of 1256 fetuses were
critically examined.
Exposure of rats to 200 r whole-body X-irradiation at 9.5 days
of gestation resulted in a...
A field study was conducted in the Willamette Valley near
Corvallis, Oregon, to determine the influence of seedling rate,
drill row spacing, grass association, and variety on the yield
of dry matter and quality (crude protein content and leafiness)
of alfalfa. Treatments included seeding rates of 7.5, 10, 15 and...
The maximum principle developed by the Russian mathematician,
L.S. Pontryagin is considered to be one of the most significant
contributions to the recent advances in mathematical optimization
techniques.
Unfortunately, most of the published literature on the application
of the maximum principle is in the field of control system design,
and...
