  • William Keith Brooks (1848-1908) : a case study in morphology and the development of American biology

    Creator:
    Benson, Keith Rodney
    Abstract:
    The major historical studies that have examined American biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application of...

  • A chemical study of the minerals from L-6 chondritic meteorites

    Creator:
    Curtis, David Ballantyne
    Abstract:
    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...

  • An analytical model for predicting truck performance on interstate highways

    Creator:
    Cantwell, William Curtis
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes a Truck Performance Simulation Model developed for use in a United States Department of Transportation university research project entitled "The Energy, Economic and Environmental Consequences of Increased Vehicle Size and Weight." The performance of the truck is found by specifying its engine, driveline and tire characteristics and...

  • A comparison of methods for finding Hamiltonian circuits in graphs

    Creator:
    DeCurtins, Jeffrey Lee
    Abstract:
    This paper compares three classes of algorithms for finding Hamiltonian circuits in graphs. Two of the classes are exhaustive search procedures and this study finds them to have an exponential dependence on the size of the graph. The third class of algorithms, based on Warnsdorff's rule, is found to be...

  • On sequential/parallel matrix array languages

    Creator:
    Wang, Patrick Shen-Pei
    Abstract:
    A new system called sequential/parallel matrix grammars for two-dimensional pattern processing is introduced and studied. Miscellaneous language operations such as union, catenation (row and column), Kleene's closure (row and column) and substitutions are investigated. The equivalence of sequential/parallel matrix languages and finite-turn repetitive checking automata is established. Hierarchies for both...

  • A curricular model in ornamental horticulture for vocational agriculture in Oregon

    Creator:
    Loewen, Curtis Eugene
    Abstract:
    The central purpose of this study was to formulate and test a model for securing information from the ornamental horticultural industry that would provide a basis for curriculum development in vocational agriculture. In order to develop the model, it was necessary to accomplish the following: 1. Determine typical occupations in...

  • Production rates of skyline, balloon, and helicopter yarding systems from gross time study analysis

    Creator:
    Curtis, Richard James
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the analysis of data from a three-year gross time study of skyline, balloon, and helicopter yarding systems operating in Western Oregon. Data collection activities were designed and supervised by the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, U.S.D.A. Forest Service. The specific logging systems studied were running...

    Abstract:
    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....

  • Vacuum ultraviolet absorption studies of model sugar compounds

    Creator:
    Dickinson, Helen Rose
    Abstract:
    Vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectra of 13 model sugar compounds were measured in the energy range of 50 to 80 kK. The model sugars included three simple alcohols, four simple ethers, four cyclic alcohol-ether compounds, and two dioxanes. All spectra show transition bands in the energy region 50 to 65 kK....

  • Circular dichroism of amylose and glucose oligosaccharides in the vacuum ultraviolet

    Creator:
    Lewis, Donald George
    Abstract:
    The circular dichroism spectra of amylose, the maltose oligomers, cellobiose, and the cycloamyloses are measured in aqueous solution to 1640 A. Two bands are found in this region. The long wavelength band is assigned to the ether chromophores; the short wavelength band is assigned to the hydroxyls and further ether...
