A programming paradigm can be defined as a model or an approach employed in solving a problem. The results of the research described in this document demonstrate that it is possible to unite several different programming paradigms into a single linguistic framework. The imperative, procedural, applicative, lambda-free, relational, logic and...
Seed yield in perennial ryegrass is the product of yield components
that develop during the life of the plant. Crop yield potential is
defined by the number of fertile tillers, spikelets per spike, and
florets per spikelet. It has been shown that perennial ryegrass
realizes only a small percentage of...
PART I. The concentration of nickel in some soils may be
insufficient to meet the requirements of enzymes such as
urease in soybeans and hydrogenase in Rhizobium. Nickel
availability in soils was examined by measuring microbial
urease activity in soils which were treated with glucose
and urea. Supplemental nickel was...
This paper has two objectives. Firstly, we present the homological properties as defined by de Rham using a notion of current. We show this with the aid of the Eilenberg and Steenrod Axioms. The cohomology is defined in the usual fashion from algebraic topology. The second goal is the relationship...
With current nonlinear analysis computer capabilities, this
study was conducted to develop a linkage element that permits
analyses of wood composite structures taking into account possible
slip in the nailed joints. The finite elements chosen to represent the wood stud, plywood, gypsum and nails are described. The
method as applied...
This dissertation introduces a method which
can simulate multi-dimensional Gaussian random
processes by the superposition of sine functions
The fast Fourier transform technique is incorporated into the simulating method to facilitate
saving of computer time.
In view of the fact that the fast Fourier
transform play important roles in digital...
A root-lesion nematode, Pratvlenchus penetrans, was determined to
be a major component of peppermint stand decline in Western Oregon.
Regression analysis showed that P. penetrans root densities in August
were negatively correlated (P=0.01) with yield, while soil densities
in August and root and soil densities in April were poorly correlated...
Hard Fescue (Festuca longifolia Thuill.) has potential for in
creased turf use but does not respond well to normal seed production
management practices in Oregon. Field burning (the normal residue
management practice) results in reduced seed yields in commercial hard
fescue seed production fields but stimulates seed production in Chewings...
A computer program called SAPWOOD which possesses the
capability of performing linear or nonlinear, static or
dynamic response including seismic excitation for wood-framed
buildings with semirigid connection systems is
presented in this study. Program SAPWOOD is a modification
of the program NONSAP by adding new elements such as a
linkage...
