This document contains a result of a study to determine the role of hatchery-reared winter steelhead in steelhead fisheries. The study examines the contribution of these salmon ‘with respect to’ angling intensity, number of fish stocked, contribution of native stocks, and several other factors. It also investigates survival of hatchery-reared...
Nitrogen is a contaminant of niobium and tantalum adversely
affecting the workability of the metal. With recent interest in the
refractory metals, one problem the chemical analyst must solve
is the accurate determination of nitrogen in niobium and tantalum
at very low levels. The usual method of assaying for nitrogen...
This study involved an investigation of lactic streptococci which
had irreversibly lost ability to produce the high levels of acid in milk
necessary during the manufacture of certain fermented dairy products.
The slow acid producing mutants studied were obtained from
a normal acid producing strain by natural selection following induction...
In certain cases in system modeling, parameter search problems
are complicated by the availability of scanty and corrupt physical
system data and a large number of model parameters. An algorithm
using man-machine interaction is presented to attack this type
of parameter search problem with the objective of efficiency in the...
A circuit which functions as a controlled negative-resistance is
described and analyzed; the circuit contains two transistors, a breakdown
diode, and five resistors connected in a stable feedback configuration.
From the analysis a set of design equations is derived.
An experimental circuit is described and a comparison between
measured performance...
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon
was introduced into culture in a precipitate -free medium developed
by modification of McLachlan's ASM medium. This medium ASMT
No. 8 contained no organic substances other than ethylendiaminetetraacetate
(EDTA) and Trishydroxymethylamino methane (Tris),
and was developed by modifying the concentrations of certain elements,...
This paper is a classification of 181 problems, each of which involves the evaluation or application of determinants. The problems are those which have appeared in the "Problems and Solutions" sections of the American Mathematical Monthly, Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung Jahresbricht, Mathematics Magazine, and School Science and Mathematics. The problems are classified,...
The extraction of tantalum fluoride complexes by large cationic
extractants (tetraphenylarsonium ion, TPA, and crystal violet) and
by methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) has been investigated as a function
of fluoride concentration using ¹⁸² Ta as tracer. Extractions by the
cationic extractants into chloroform were carried out in the absence
of...
This thesis examines various net or finite difference methods
for solving parabolic partial differential equations in one space variable
with constant coefficients. Included in this investigation are
explicit, implicit and multi-step methods of varying orders of accuracy.
These methods are compared with respect to accuracy, speed,
efficiency, stability, simplicity of...
