A variational integral method in the Fourier transform domain is
used to calculate the characteristic normal mode parameters of a coupled
pair of nonsymmetrical microstrip transmission lines in an inhomogenous
dielectric medium under quasi-TEM conditions. These together with the
theory of such structures are used to show that ideal directional...
Disposal of solid wastes in sanitary landfills presents potential problems of ground water contamination. The most conman contaminants are leachate and dissolved gas. Oregon has implemented a ground water quality monitoring program at selected landfills. Objectives are to protect the state1 s ground water resource and complement regulatory and enforcement...
Problem areas identified are: The needs a) to develop curve
fitting procedures to estimate flood flow distributions; b) to
incorporate precipitation data into frequency analysis procedures;
and c) to better define flood potentials for ungauged streams.
Closely related to the above, it is noted that variables commonly
used to estimate...
The wind field measured during Project JASIN 1972, a joint
British-American venture during September 1972, was analyzed.
These measurements were done, with equipment manufactured by
Ivar Aanderaa of Bergen, Norway, on large, anchored toroid buoys.
The results of the analysis of the wind field, which included
divergence and vorticity estimates...
The opening of the South Atlantic between 140 and 90 m. y. B. P.
occurred about two poles of rotation. The initial pole of rotation was
maintained until Africa and South America were completely separated.
The subsequent removal of restraints imposed by the pre-existing
structure of Africa and South America...
A 140 bed community hospital was the setting where the development
and evaluation of a computer aided patient profile review system took
place. This clinically oriented system involved the review of patient's
drug regimen, diet, allergies, and laboratory tests for well documented
contraindications or interactions. The pharmacist was involved in...
Chromatin DNA sequences intimately associated with the "core"
of the basic, repeating chromatin subunit are shown to be relatively
resistant to digestion by micrococcal nuclease. Chromatin DNA
sequences lying between adjacent chromatin subunits, as well as
DNA sequences in regions of chromatin which are free of chromatin
subunits, are subject...
Seven commercially prepared brands of lactic streptococcal
phage inhibitory media were obtained from their manufacturers.
Comparisons between the different media were made with respect
to buffering capacity, ability to support lactic streptococcal growth,
ability to suppress bacteriophage replication, and ability to support
Leuconostoc growth. Nonfat milk was used during experiments...
