Major and minor minerals have been separated from
three L-6 chondritic meteorites (Alfianello, Colby (Wisconsin),
and Leedey). Olivine, hypersthene, diopside, feldspar,
troilite, chromite, phosphate minerals, and metallic
minerals were analyzed for major, minor and trace elements
using instrumental neutron activation analysis and radiochemical
neutron activation analysis techniques. Concentrations
df the...
In this dissertation, a new computational method for equality constrained nonlinear programming is developed. Specifically, problems of minimizing a nonlinear objective function f(x) subject to constraints h(x) = 0, where f is a scalar valued, x is an n-vector and h is a m-vector with m < n is considered....
Benomyl-tolerant Botrytis cinerea was found in snap
bean fields throughout the Willamette Valley while no tolerant
isolates of Whetzelinia sclerotiorum were detected.
Thirty-five benomyl-tolerant isolates of B. cinerea had
slower radial growth rates than eighteen benomyl-sensitive
isolates. Sporulation of an aggressive tolerant isolate
was not stimulated when grown on benomyl-treated...
The use of Regular Expressions to represent the conditions of operations of a finite automaton is becoming popular. A finite automaton can be represented by several regular expressions which are entirely different in out-looks and in structures. It is the primary purpose of this paper to develop several approaches to...
Seven in vitro trials were conducted to compare the effects of
soaking annual ryegrass straw in solutions of sodium hydroxide (Na₄OH),
potassium hydroxide (KOH), ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH), or sodium
formate (NaCHO₂) at varying levels. Dry matter digestibility (DDM)
was the criterion used to measure treatment response. A 3 x 3...
The material in this paper is divided into the following four chapters for convenience. Chapter 1 explains, how the idea of fault testing changed from testing the machine instructions to testing the hardware in logic circuits. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 present the different approaches considered, namely:
1. Path sensitizing...
Nine Ca-Al-rich inclusions and one olivine inclusion
from Allende meteorite were studied for Ti, Al, Fe, Mg, Ca,
Na, Cl, K, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Zn,Hf, W, Ir, Au, Ta,
and Re -via INAA (instrumental neutron activation analysis)
and REE, Ba, Sr via RNAA (radiochemical NAA). The inclusions...
