A new x-ray source capable of operating at up to 80
watts has been designed and developed, and put to use with
the Oregon State University Cylindrical Electrostatic
Analyzer. The new source produces over four times the
photoelectron intensity of its predecessor, from gaseous
samples, and accommodates a wider selection...
The core-electron ionization potentials for mono- and
di(trifluoromethyl)benzene, for chlorofluoromethanes and for
chlorine have been measured in order to give information on
the electron distribution in these molecules and to investigate
differences between the inductive effect of fluorine
and that of CF3. For trifluoromethylbenzene the measured
ionization potentials in eV...
The satellite structure ("shake-up") present in the X-ray
photoelectron spectra of several planar molecules containing
double bonds has been investigated in the gas phase.
This set consists of three five-membered heterocyclic
molecules, ethylene and two of its fluorinated analogs, and
benzene with three of its fluorinated analogs. In addition,
core...
The Thomas Kay Woolen Mill once manufactured cloth with a
reputation renowned throughout the United States. This study is an
attempt to report the history of the mill. Data are categorized by:
the Kay family; production including plant, machinery, raw materials
used, goods manufactured; management including the effects of
national...
Ten T-mycoplasma strains isolated from the urine of male
students with nongonococcal urethritis were compared in immunodiffusion,
indirect hemagglutination (IHA), metabolic inhibition (MI),
and immunoelectrophoretic tests using antigens prepared from these
isolates and specific rabbit antisera. Immunodiffusion, MI, and IHA
tests revealed complex antigenic interrelationships among the
T-mycoplasmas, whereas immunoelectrophoretic...
Observations were made on silage pH, chemical composition and 24hr in vitro dry matter digestion (IVDMD) to evaluate effects of various additives ensiled with annual ryegrass straw. Additives were compared in factorial designed trials utilizing .95 1 glass jar silos. Selection of additives used in each subsequent trial was based...
This research was on the irreversible oxidation of trimethylamine by copper(II) chloride, which takes place at temperatures of about 75° and higher. The coordination of trimethylamine by copper(II) chloride, which is a preliminary reaction to the oxidation, was studied at 0°. The coordination of trimethylamine by the potential reduction product,...
Setaria lutescens (yellow foxtail) plants, grown from five seed
sources were compared in California. Seed sources were: Connecticut,
Iowa, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and California. Morphological
and physiological differences between biotypes include: plant
size, growth habit, time required to mature and reproductive capa
city. Most significant is the prostrate habit of the...
