A frequency compensation technique for increasing the
settling speed of two-stage operational amplifiers used in
switched-capacitor applications has been developed. By
properly decompressing the pole-zero doublet to form a
three-pole one zero system, the settling speed is increased
up to 50 percent as compared to the optimized two-pole
system.
Availability of evergreen forage plants during the
two dry seasons in arid central Somalia is very important.
Cordeauxia edulis is a multistemmed evergreen legume shrub
which grows in Central Somalia in plant communities
dominated by deciduous shrubs. There are two growth forms
of this plant. A form with small leaflets...
The goal of this study was to determine if the cardiorespiratory adaptations to an eight-week circuit weight training program are better measured with a biokinetic swim-bench test versus a standard treadmill test. The working hypothesis of the study was that since standard circuit weight training programs stress the upper body...
Bean shoot parts that respond to glyphosate (N-
(phosphonomethyl)glycine) in ways useful for bioassay were determined
by applying glyphosate doses of 3.8 to 60.3 ug ae per plant to the
simple leaves when the first trifoliolate leaflets were about 1 cm
long. Dry weights of parts that were almost fully...
We investigate the optimal harvesting strategies for McKendrick type population models. Models of this type endow the population with a continuous age structure. They consist of a partial differential equation with a boundary condition which involves an integral of the solution. We study two problems, the first concerns the yield...
Remote sensing is an attractive method for the
detection and monitoring of crop stress. The feasibility of
using remote sensing for the detection and monitoring of
fungal diseases, insects, weeds, and non-infectious
diseases affecting the cultivated cranberry (Vaccinium
macrocarpon Ait.) is evaluated. A study on the fungal
disease twig blight...
