Plumage development and growth were studied in young whooping
cranes (Grus americana) from hatching until 450 days of age. The
downy stage of the young cranes lasted about six weeks; the development
of the juvenal plumage took until 100 days of age, and the molt
to the adult or all...
A biosystematic study was made in seven populations of Mimulus
nanus Hook. & Arn. and M. cusickii (Greene) Piper (Scrophulariaceae)
in central Oregon, and a taxonomic revision was made of the four
species of section Eunanus reported from Oregon--M. nanus, M.
cusickii, M. clivicola Greenm. and M. jepsonii Grant. Mimulus...
A method of analysis of arbitrarily shaped prestressed concrete
members for biaxial bending is given. The stress-strain curve of
the concrete is represented by two parabolic segments, and the
effects of strain hardening of the steel are included in the analysis.
An iterative numerical procedure is used to solve for...
