Hemicellulose hydrolyzate contains many carbohydrate
fractions, the most abundant being xylose, arabinose, and
glucuronic acid. Under mild acid conditions (0.025 -
0.10 M sulfuric acid) and high temperatures (140°C to
200°C) the first two components form furfural through a
series of dehydration reactions. Unlike xylose and
arabinose, glucuronic acid must...
A study of the running time of several known algorithms and several new algorithms to compute the n[superscript th] element of the Fibonacci sequence is presented. Since the size of the n[superscript th] Fibonacci number grows exponentially with n, the number of bit operations, instead of the number of integer...
This study was undertaken in an attempt gain a more thorough understanding of stream/aquifer interactions on camp Creek in Central Oregon. Sections of the creek were excluded from livestock grazing between 1966 and the present. Objectives of the study were to measure the extent of the shallow aquifer in the...
