Growth and reproductive development in selected cultivars of Kentucky bluegrass given different durations of exposure to floral inductive conditions

Creator:: Turner, J. Kevin
Abstract:: Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) cultivars are known to differ quantitatively in their photothermal floral inductive requirements. The extent to which these requirements are met influences the potential for subsequent panicle exsertion. A better understanding of the inductive requirements as they vary among cultivars would aid in the selection and...

Adenovirus replication in trans : a new replication pathway

Creator:: Ahern, Kevin
Abstract:: Replication of plasmid molecules containing either a left-end or a right-end adenovirus origin was investigated. When the plasmids were linearized to expose their respective adenovirus termini, mixed, and transfected with helper adenovirus DNA into the human 293 cell line, a new molecule was detected. The new molecule was the size...

EXE, an expert system shell for agricutural applications

Creator:: Currans, Kevin
Abstract:: This paper discusses the design, construction, and use of a prototype expert system shell, EXE. EXE is non-conventional in that it does not provide a traditional forward or backward chaining inference mechanism. Instead, it allows the domain expert to control the logic flow of the system in a dynamic fashion....

Application of multiattribute utility analysis in determining coho salmon policy

Creator:: Walker, Kevin D.
Abstract:: Policy decisions in fishery management are becoming increasingly complex and difficult. This is especially true for the salmon fisheries where policy outcomes affect the productivity of the salmon resource and the subsequent well-being of commercial fishermen, charter boat operators, Indian fishermen, and sport anglers. The objective of this study was...

A comparison of iterative methods for the solution of elliptic partial differential equations, particularly the neutron diffusion equation

Creator:: Schwinkendorf, Kevin N.
Abstract:: Two new concepts have been explored in solving the neutron diffusion equation in one and two dimensions. At the present time, the diffusion equation is solved using source iterations. These iterations are performed in a mathematical form which has a great deal of physical significance. Specifically, the neutron production term...

Development of an object-oriented expert system for PWR core reload

Creator:: Greek, Kevin J.
Abstract:: 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...

Growth and reproductive ecology of Larix laricina in interior Alaska

Creator:: Brown, Kevin R.
Abstract:: Larix laricina in Alaska occurs on sites ranging from productive slopes and riverbottoms to wet bogs underlain by permafrost. It is largest on sites without permafrost, where it is associated with Picea glauca, but is much more common in bogs, where it occurs with Picea mariana. In this study, I...

Optimum temporal and contrast considerations in extremely high speed motion neutron radiography

Creator:: Greek, Kevin J.
Abstract:: A facility developed using the OSU TRIGA pulsing capability and high speed motion photography has been used successfully for more than a decade to produce dynamic neutron radiographs of solid propellant combustion, two phase flow, and liquid streamflow. The existing imaging components have undergone little modification since the experiment's inception...

5'-methylthioadenosine and 5-methylthioribose : studies on their metabolism and function in mammalian cells

Creator:: Riscoe, Michael Kevin
Abstract:: Although the biological occurrence of 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA) and 5-methylthioribose (MTR) were recognized more than a half century ago, very little light has been cast on the physiologic significance of either substance. My studies were designed to extend our knowledge of the metabolism of MTA and to determine if this pathway...
