Several environmental and cultural factors were studied to
explain the distribution of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook.)
in an area one mile northwest of Millican, Oregon. In the study area juniper
grows densely on upper south slopes and only sparsely occurs on upper
north slopes. Juniper moisture stress was found...

Some nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation procedures
are developed for the class of pairs of distributions which have proportional
failure rate functions. Special consideration is given to the
case in which the shape of the failure rate functions are assumed to
be either increasing or decreasing. Estimators of the proportionality
constant,...
Two cultivars of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea
Schreb.) with contrasting growth habits were studied under
field and growth chamber conditions. Fawn, an established
cultivar since 1964, and TFM, an experimental line, were
observed to grow better during spring and fall months
respectively, in the field. Different temperature regimes
of 10/4,...
A study was made of blood glucose levels and their relationship
to reproduction in gilts.
Twelve blood samples, two in each of three successive weeks,
before and after breeding were taken. Half of the samples were
obtained from gilts in a fasting state and half after feeding. All
samples were...
The purpose of this thesis is to derive and compare asymptotic
performances of certain tests of independence, interchangeability
and equality of the distributions of_ratios Y/X for positive variates
and Y with joint c.d.f. H(x,y) of particular forms. Three bivariate
families, Morgenstern, Plackett, and Moran, are considered which permit
marginal c.d.f.'s...
The three-body heterogeneous and wall recombination coefficients for atomic oxygen were measured using an electron paramagnetic
resonance spectrometer to monitor the time dependence of the
atomic oxygen concentration. This measurement was made for a
pressure range of from .224 to 1.10 torr using pyrolysis of ozone as
a source of...
The theory of Biorhythms is an up and coming topic.
Its founding fathers: Dr, Fliess, Dr. Swoboda, and
Dr. Teltsher discovered the 23 day physical 28 day sensitivity,
and 33 day Intellectual cycles around the turn of the century.
Today, biorhythms are being looked at and studied
from many different...
