Easter Island and Sala y Gomez are part of the Sala y Gomez
Ridge, a broad band of high topography and scattered seamounts
extending ESE from the East Pacific Rise. It has been proposed that
the Sala y Gomez Ridge results from the movement of the Nazca Plate
over a...
The effects of various physical parameters on the binding, uptake,
and catabolism of glucose in the marine psychrophilic bacterium,
Vibrio marinus, were studied. It was shown that shortly after
the cell was exposed to labeled glucose, the radioactive label became
rapidly associated with the cell fraction. It was also shown...
A taxonomic study of the genus Ophionectria Saccardo is presented.
The genus is described and the only remaining species, the type species,
Ophionectria trichospora, is described and figured. Ophionectria
trichospora is compared with Nectria haematococca to define relationships
between the two genera.
All other species formerly placed in Ophionectria are...
A convenient method of portraying functions of n dimensions to aid modeling
is needed. Unfortunately, visual representations are limited to only
two independent variables. ISO was written to partially meet the demands
of two-independent-variable graphics.
The core-electron ionization potentials for mono- and
di(trifluoromethyl)benzene, for chlorofluoromethanes and for
chlorine have been measured in order to give information on
the electron distribution in these molecules and to investigate
differences between the inductive effect of fluorine
and that of CF3. For trifluoromethylbenzene the measured
ionization potentials in eV...
This is the first of two technical reports derived from the dissertation
by Yao, Neng-Chun titled "Bispectral and Cross-bispectral Analysis
of Winds and Currents off the Oregon Coast. " In this first technical
report we give the theoretical development of the rotary component
approach to the bispectrum and cross-bispectrum among...
The infrared absorption spectra (40-800 cm⁻¹) of the trifluorides
of Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb isolated
in solid argon, krypton and nitrogen matrices have been obtained. For
PrF₃ the symmetric and asymmetric stretching modes were observed;
PrF₃ is accordingly assigned a...
The purpose of this thesis was (1) to determine a dietary regimen which would produce the greatest incidence of cardiac calcification in the cotton rat and (2) to determine the fatty acid composition of heart tissue.
Maximum incidence of cardiac calcification occurred from feeding torula yeast ration supplemented with 0.5%...
