Conditions were established for inducing pear blossom blast
caused by Pseudomonas syringae (Ps) on both attached and detached
shoots. The incidence of disease was proportional to the log of Ps
population under optimal temperature, moisture and bloom developmental
stage. Highest incidence of infection followed occurrence of a major
exotherm in...
Reactor refueling is a computationally intensive
problem solving process that requires automation since
significant resources are expended upon the search for
an optimal core loading. Without imposing some
constraints upon the configurations investigated, an
extremely large number of prototype loadings may be
generated without discovery of an improved loading. As...
This study examined the ralationship of organizational
structure and job satisfaction in Iranain iron companies.
Sixteen of 27 Iranian iron companies were randomly
selected for the study, and 195 middle managers in the 16
companies were surveyed with a three part instrument
consisting of Likert's (1967) Profile of Organizational
Characteristics;...
The loss of wetlands in the United States has been widely
publicized. Wetland conversions to agricultural production have been
responsible for a large percentage of wetland losses. Partially in
recognition of the agricultural cause for this wetland loss, Congress
promulgated the "swampbuster" provisions of the Food Security Act of
1985....
Cardiac A₁ adenosine receptors mediate cardioinhibitory
properties of adenosine and structural congeners. The objective of
these studies was to increase our understanding of molecular
processes involved in ligand interactions with receptors mediating
cardioinhibitory effects of adenosine and the interactions of these
receptors with guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins.

Three varieties of sweet corn (Zea mays L.) , including
two supersweet (Crisp 'N Sweet 710 and Rogers 3376) and one
normal sweet (Jubilee), were harvested at six stages of
maturity (80-72% moisture for supersweet and 75-68% moisture
for normal sweet) at three days intervals. Changes in
physical and chemical...

A number of historians of science have been involved
in studying the nature of biology at the turn of the
century, and the picture that they have developed describes
biology during this time as a field struggling to define
itself. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, biologists were...
This paper discusses the design strategies for interface of bus
architectures. It also describes the design of interface between the
two popular bus architectures, the Micro Channel and the Nu Bus.
The main objective of this thesis is to develop a procedure for
bus interface design and use this procedure...
