Settlement of structures built on geologically recent compressible alluvium is a common cause of concern during design. Total settlement results from a combination of: 1) initial elastic settlement, 2) primary consolidation, and 3) secondary compression. The reliability of prediction of total settlement is affected by an understanding of these components...
It has been established that bilinear models
occur frequently in nature and offer some important
advantages from the standpoint. of controllability,
optimization and modeling. The estimation of
bilinear systeim models from the Measurements
of input-output data are discussed. In the
first approach a parametric model of a discrete-time
linear system...
Developmental changes in the enzymes acetylcholinesterase
(EC 3.1.1.7) and pseudocholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8) were
examined in ovo and in vitro in the neural retina of the
developing chick. In addition, investigations of cellular
interactions and hormones as possible control mechanisms of
enzyme synthesis were made.
The specific activity of acetylcholinesterase, a...
The physical and chemical properties of soils greatly affect the
toxicity of bromacil and picloram. Consequently, a knowledge of the
parameters which influence the soil inactivation of these herbicides
is necessary to determine proper application rates for good weed control.
Enhancement in phytotoxicity with the addition of surfactants or
surface...
Albumin, as a percent of total proteins in both the coelomic
serum and the blood serum, was determined for four groups of
developing Rana catesbeiana tadpoles by cellulose acetate electrophoresis.
Also, using Folin phenol reagent, the total protein of
each the blood serum of metamorphosing tadpoles and the coelomic
serum...
