This paper describes the results of a time study conducted on the
Sierra National Forest to determine production capacity of the Madill 044
Skyline Yarding Crane operating in a partial cut situation for old-growth
mixed conifer stands. The yarder was rigged in the running skyline configuration
and used a Danebo...
The investigation of energy considerations in the remodeling of
single family owner-occupied dwellings was the central purpose of this
study. Variables studied included relationships between demographic
characteristics and the inclusion of energy conservation techniques,
planning of the remodeling, and ranking of considerations in the
remodeling.
A sample of 225 owner-occupants...
An analytical two-layer model consisting of a time-dependent stratified
boundary layer topped by stratified free flow is developed in order
to study atmospheric boundary layer production of vertical motion. To
avoid use of a constant eddy viscosity, the boundary layer equations are
layer-integrated over a fixed depth, and surface stress...
Using phenolic scavengers different methods were examined to determine the optimum conditions for extracting polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from d'Anjou pears. Efficiency of the extraction was evaluated based on browning of the extract, PPO activity per g of pear tissue, absorption scan of 410 nm to -240 nm, and the isozyme...
