Systems Tableau is suggested as a convenient tool for the
integration of the three phases of systems theory: the synthesis of
a model from the analysis of a system; the evaluation of the model;
and the decision-making process for the design and control of the
resulting system.
From a basic...
A total of five individual experiments were conducted with
gonadectomized, male sheep to study the influence of estrogen on
the plasma level of pituitary activities, with the greatest emphasis
given to gonadotropic activity. Estrogen treatments employed were
as follows:
1. 12 mg. diethylstilbestrol (DES) implanted subcutaneously.
2. 1 mg. DES...
This thesis develops recursion formulas for least-squares
data smoothing with regard to four classes of functions: linear,
quadratic, exponential and trigonometric, which in a linear fashion
involve 2, 3, 2 and 2 parameters respectively. The term recursion
implies here that the estimates for the parameters of the preceding
fit are...
The 3-cyclohexenyl carbinyl carbene species was formed by the
thermal decomposition of the p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone sodium
salt and by oxidation of the hydrazone. Several oxidizing agents
were studied. The products were investigated under aprotic and
protic conditions and at various temperatures. The diazocompound
was formed as an intermediate and found to...
A method by which barrier heights in potential functions
hindering internal rotation in organic molecules can be obtained solely
from thermal data for the solid phase is studied. The observed
heat capacities are analyzed in terms of contributions from the lattice
vibrations, the intramolecular vibrations, the expansion of the lattice,...
This study is part of the Alsea Basin Logging-Aquatic Resources
Study research program. It was initiated to determine the applicability
of energy budget theory to stream temperature prediction on small
forested streams. The study was also designed to evaluate the energy
budget technique as a tool in the management of...
