This report is an exposition of an eleven week training
internship in the Port of Portland (POP). My interest in serving
an internship at POP came as a result of a field trip in the
spring of 1980 during which I was fascinated by the ports operations
and diversity. During...
The properties of linear active coupled lines consisting of
electrically long GaAs MESFET structures are investigated for possible
applications as traveling-wave broad-band amplifiers. In addition,
the nonlinear coupled Schottky lines are studied for applications as
voltage tunable circuit elements.
The analysis of the general active asymmetric coupled transmission
lines in...
Lactic streptococcal agglutinins are known to promote settling of starter bacteria in milk, resulting in spongy, mealy, shattered curd and sludge formation defects in cottage cheese. These agglutinins are natural antibodies secreted by lactating cows in mature milk in response to infections (mastitis) and in colostrum milk as protective antibodies...
The ability of Propionibacterium shermanii to produce
growth metabolites which were inhibitory to food spoilage
indicator organisms was investigated. Asperqillus niqer,
a Pseudomonas species and Kluyveromyces fraqilis were the
spoilage indicators chosen to represent molds, gram
negative psychrotrophic bacteria and yeasts, respectively.
Supplementation of milk or whey based media was...
Protective antigens were separated from a 2.5% saline extract of
Pasteurella multocida type 4 by chromatographic methods. The organism
was grown for 18 to 20 hours at 37°C on an agar medium containing 5%
heat-inactivated turkey serum. The bacterial growth was harvested in a
2.5% NaC1 solution and agitated for...
A detail study of a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) in a Pressurized
Water Reactor was conducted in order to estimate the consequences
of the accident using the computer simulation code EMERALD.
An effort was undertaken to modify the EMERALD code and to make
it operable on the OSU CYBER...
This research work investigates the use of production
systems as a model of parallel processing. The purpose of
the model is to provide a suitable medium within which parallel
processing systems can be systematically specified,
analyzed, and designed. Furthermore, the model provides a
suitable means for deriving implementations of synchronization...
