The analysis of 64 rock samples from Saudi Arabia and three
samples from the axial trough of the Red Sea has been done.
Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was the analytical
tool used for the analysis of at least 18 and as many as 24 elements
in these 67 rock...
Eight layered gabbro samples from two layered complexes, two
xenoliths, one basalt from a hot brine area and a standard basalt rock
(BCR-1) were analyzed by RNAA (radiochemical neutron activation
analysis) for 14 trace elements, Au, Ni, Co, Ag, Sb, Se, Zn, In, T1,
Rb, Cs, U, Ba and Sr....
The Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop an original validated Lickert-type attitudinal survey instrument and administer it to selected samples of teachers and students in the Mid-Willamette Valley of Oregon to determine their attitude toward the "purposes," "functions," and "responsibilities" of student councils and place these results...
Eleven hand specimen whole rock (WR) samples (25-200 g each) and
33 fragments (0.5-0.8 g each) from a single basaltic flow at Picture
Gorge, Oregon were analyzed via instrumental neutron activation
analysis (INAA) for 12 elements (Na, Fe, Cr, Sc, Co, La, Sm, Eu, Yb,
Lu, Hf and Ta). Standard...
The process of biological nitrogen fixation involves the enzymic
reduction of atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) to ammonia (NH₃). The
enzyme which catalyzes this reduction, nitrogenase, does not exhibit
a high degree of substrate specificity. It also catalyzes the reduction
of acetylene (C₂2H₂) to ethylene (C₂H₄). The reduction of
C₂H₂ to C₂H₄...
In the last 30 years, birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L. )
has been recognized as a great potential source of forage. Since the
1930's, many studies have been reported in relation to birdsfoot
trefoil characteristics, including some directly related with the
association between seed yield and its components.
The purpose...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of population
size, type of ownership, number of hours open per week,
pharmacy location, type of pharmacy, average annual store sales
volume, average number of prescriptions filled per day, patient profile
system and delivery service on prescription price, dollar markup...
Thirty-three genotypes of red fescue were selected on the
basis of diverse origin, anthesis date, and type of spreading from a
space-planted introduction nursery.
Open-pollinated, single-cross, and top-cross progeny
nurseries were established into a randomized block with four replications,
20, 9, 8 entries, respectively, with nine plants per entry
on...
The seasonal variation of wind speed fluctuations is studied at
four locations in The Dalles area of the Columbia River Gorge.
Three of the sites are located in or near the valley floor while the
fourth site is on top of a 900 m (3000 ft) ridge just north of...
Three genotypes of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.
cultivar Fawn and four genotypes from the cultivar Fortune were
used as parents to form 15 of a possible 21 single crosses to study
the heritability of certain agronomic characteristics. The Fawn
variety is considered to be tall in growth habit, vigorous...
