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...
An investigation was undertaken to determine whether
potassium is indeed necessary for the in vivo synthesis of a
specific protein. The effects of univalent cations on the
inductive formation of nitrate reductase and on the level of
activity of representative non-adaptive enzyme are presented.
Cultures of Neurospora crassa were grown...
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...
This thesis presents a matrix analysis of structures
with semirigid connections. The stiffness factor of a
connection has been assumed to be a constant as represented
by the initial relationship of moment versus
rotation. Three cases are considered: Case I - structures
with semirigid connections, column width and beam
depth...
