Chemical and biological evaluations were conducted to provide
chemical composition and digestibility information, in addition to
yield data, for silage corn varieties produced on poorly drained
Dayton soil series. Each variety was subjected to a Kjeldahl nitrogen,
acid detergent fiber, acid detergent lignin, cell wall, and
residual ash test. Subsequently...
Acidity distribution within any given soil profile is dependent on
mineralogical make-up of the parent material as well as environmental conditions prevalent during the weathering history of the soil.
An experiment was designed to study the distribution pattern of exchange acidity, exchangeable aluminum, exchangeable manganese and
pH of six acid...
Several learning processes which can be used with computing
machinery are discussed in this paper. Consideration is given to what
has been done in this field in the past as well as to what is now
being done. New ideas which might be applied to such study are
introduced.
An...
In a search for new therapeutic agents, a series of Mannich bases
derived from the following 2-phenylindolizines were prepared: 2-phenylindolizine, 1, 2-diphenylindolizine, 3-methyl-2-phenylindolizine,
3-ethyl-2-phenylindolizine, and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-phenylindolizine.
The investigation was based on the speculation that indolizine
analogs of physiologically active indoles might be useful medicinally.
A certain group of indoles, all...
Moisture has long been identified as one of the major
limiting factors in the distribution of agricultural land use practices.
However, the importance of any environmental element can only be
determined by considering how it is affected by its relationship with
other elements of the environment. Thornthwaite's moisture index
attempts...
Bicyclo [6.1.0] non-4-ene was prepared by two routes; (1) reaction
of cis-cis-1, 5-cycloöctadiene with methylene iodide and zinc-copper
couple, (2) sodium-methanol reduction of 9, 9-dibromobicyclo-[6.1.0] non-4-ene. The bicyclononene was characterized by its infrared
spectrum, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum and common
physical properties. The olefin was hydrogenated to bicyclo [6.1.0] -...
A liquid sulfur dioxide battery, such as K/KCl SbCl₅ (0.25
molar) + IBr₃ (15 %wt) + SO₂ (1)/carbon matrix is shown to have an
open circuit voltage greater than 3.70 volts and an initial voltage of
3.15 volts, decreasing to 2.40 volts in 10 minutes at a current density
of...
