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...
The malty flavor defect produced by Streptococcus lactis var.
maltigenes has been the cause of considerable economic distress to
various segments of the dairy industry. This study was conducted
in order to develop a more thorough understanding of the chemical
nature of this defect, and to formulate a synthetic malty...
Water and methanol adsorption isotherms at 25° and 37° C.
were determined on a series of organo-bentonite clays. The clays
differed in the length of the carbon chain attached to the amine adsorbed
in the cation exchange position. The amines used had carbon
chains of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,...
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...
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...
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...
This report is an update of shellfish investigations from April 1961-March 1962. It includes a summary of observations of clam conditions, and discusses a Netarts Bay clam mortality, which drove the Fish Commission to ask the Tillamook County Court to inform them of any future construction projects involving estuaries. It...
