Three special cases of the resection problem of surveying
are examined and solved. The coordinates of unknown points are
found with respect to given points in a rectangular coordinate system.
This is accomplished in the case of (a) one unknown point and three
given points (Snell's problem), (b) two unknown...
An all-glass gas chromatograph was developed for the analysis
of corrosive metal halides. Included in the apparatus is a new liquid
sampling system designed for fast repetitive sampling of corrosive
liquids in an inert atmosphere. A flame photometer detector was developed
to permit the detection of corrosive solutes in the...
The thesis discusses stability of procedures based on linear
computing formulas for numerical integration of an ordinary first-order
differential equation. The theorems are proved: (1) If the
procedure is asymptotically stable it is stable for small positive step
size if the Lipschitz number is negative; (2) Relative stability always
exists...
A new procedure is developed for computing a root of algebraic equations with real coefficients and a degree n, where n is 2, 4, 6, 10, 14 or any positive odd integer. A heuristic procedure is added to partially lift the restrictions on the degree n. The procedures are written...
Ruelene was orally administered to three female sheep at a
dosage rate of 121.5 mg /kg. The cholinesterase (ChE) activity levels
of blood plasma, red blood cells (RBC), and mosquitoes (Aedes
aegypti) which had fed on the sheep were tested at various times
before and after dosage. Maximum depression of...
Proban, Famphur and Tiguvon were administered intravenously,
subcutaneously, and orally at varying concentrations to 101 female
rabbits. The cholinesterase (ChE) activity levels of both plasma and
red blood cells were tested, as was tick and mosquito ChE, at various
times before and after dosage. The determinations measured the
inhibition of...
