My thesis, entitled "Fantastic Histories: How Malory's Morte Darthur
Influenced Tolkien's The Silmarillion," argues that J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion
shares distinct similarities in style and content with Sir Thomas Malory's Morte
Darthur, primarily in the lack of detail in the descriptions of characters and events, as
each attempts to create a...
The first published notion that the j-function was in any way related to the Monster came in 1979, when Conway and Norton noted in [CN79] that each coefficient in the q- expansion of the j-function could be written as a (nontrivial) integral linear combination of the dimensions of irreducible representations...
The mechanisms governing short- and long-term belowground carbon dynamics need to be understood. As part of a larger project developed to assess the effect of quantity and quality of litter inputs on the rate of soil organic matter (SOM) formation, I examined SOM in the H. J. Andrews Detritus Input...

Diffusion of short chain n-alkanes was found to be faster in the
polydimethylsilicone elastomer SE-30 than in the polydimethylsilicone
oil SF-96-2000. The opposite was true for the longer chain n-alkanes
suggesting that choice of stationary phase for gas chromatography
would depend on the chain length of sample components. The dependence...
Studies were conducted in 1969 and 1970 to evaluate the
effectiveness of an experimental herbicide, SD 30053 (alanine,
N-benzoyl-N-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-, ethyl ester), for wild oat
(Avena fatua L.) control in winter cereals.
The 1969 field studies showed that postemergence applications
of SD 30053 were effective in controlling wild oats. Wild...
The metabolism of ¹⁴C-labeled ethyl -N, N-di-n- propylthiolcarbamate
(EPTC- ¹⁴C) was studied in adult female rats. Single
oral doses of EPTC-¹⁴C ranging from 0. 6 to 100. 6 mg were given
and the elimination pattern of ¹⁴C was determined.
Results of 18 experiments showed that increasing the doses
of EPTC-...
