  • Wind turbulence input model for horizontal axis wind turbines

    Creator:
    Lin, Shuh-ren
    Abstract:
    In order to estimate wind turbine residL2;characteristics in the presence of atmospheric turbulence, the important atmospheric sources for the force excitations felt by the wind turbine system must be identified and characterized. The goal of this research is to develop the wind turbulence input model for horizontal axis wind turbines....

  • The nature and properties of amorphous colloids formed from Mazama tephra

    Creator:
    Dingus, Delmar DeLee
    Abstract:
    Soil samples from the Mazama tephra deposit were collected from the AC and C2 horizons at five different locations along the axis of the main depositional lobe. The clay fraction from the samples was recovered and studied by means of chemical, x-ray, DTA and electron microscopy methods in order to...

  • The effect of selected potassium salts on the availability of soil manganese

    Creator:
    Westermann, D. T. (Dale Thomas), 1941-
    Abstract:
    Incubation experiments with an acid poorly drained soil have shown that the application of neutral soluble salts influenced the level of extractable Mn. The application of a salt which lowered the soil pH either increased the extractable Mn or retarded the oxidation and/or fixation of extractable Mn. This effect was...

  • The chemistry of acetohydroxamic acid related to nuclear fuel reprocessing

    Creator:
    Matteson, Brent Searle
    Abstract:
    Used Nuclear Fuel (UNF) contains transuranic (TRU) elements and numerous fission products as a result of the uranium fission process and neutron activation that occur in commercial light water power reactors. Recent environmental and nuclear proliferation concerns have spawned the development of advanced reprocessing techniques to close the nuclear fuel...

  • Ternary arithmetic in direct digital control systems

    Creator:
    Seamans, David Alvin
    Abstract:
    The development of new electronic devices and design procedures applicable to ternary switching circuits suggests that it might be desirable to use ternary arithmetic in direct digital control systems. The advantages of decimal, binary, and ternary arithmetic in digital computers are discussed and a set of rules for signed -digit...

  • Solution-based Chalcogenide Thin Film Deposition

    Creator:
    Pan, Changqing
    Abstract:
    As a group of promising semiconductor materials, metal chalcogenides in thin film form have been widely used in electronics and optoelectronics applications, such as solar cell devices and photon sensors. Unfortunately, the film size and product throughput are limited by the current vacuum-based thin film deposition techniques. Solution-based thin film...

  • Silvicultural impacts of sheep grazing in Oregon's Coast Range

    Creator:
    Leininger, Wayne C.
    Abstract:
    A three-year investigation was conducted during 1980-1982 to evaluate the potential of using herded sheep as a silvicultural tool to suppress brush in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) plantations of Oregon's Coast Range. Sheep browsing of Douglas-fir was highest in May soon after bud break. Averaged over the 2 years of grazing,...

  • Responses of forest understory plants to burial by volcanic tephra from Mount St. Helens, Washington

    Creator:
    Antos, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    The effects of burial by tephra (volcanic aerial ejecta) on forest understory plants were examined northeast of Mount St. Helens, Washington, in the area where the 18 May 1980 eruption deposited tephra but did not destroy canopy trees. At six sites along a tephra depth gradient from 2-15 cm, understory...

  • Novel oxylipins and other bioactive metabolites from marine algae

    Creator:
    Nagle, Dale George
    Abstract:
    I have participated in a drug discovery program designed to screen marine algae for inhibitors of cancer-related enzymes, antitumor compounds, antiinflammatory substances, and other agents of potential pharmaceutical utility. Over 1,500 lipid and aqueous extracts of marine plants and animals were surveyed for biomedical potential. Assays designed to screen extracts...

  • Long term temporal perspectives for the demersal fish assemblages of Georges Bank with implications for management and modeling

    Creator:
    Overholtz, William Joseph
    Abstract:
    Questions of assemblage persistence, resiliency arid continuity in time were investigated with data from seasonal bottom trawl surveys conducted by the Northeast Fisheries Center, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, from 1963-1978. Cluster analysis proved to be a useful statistical method for delineating assemblage boundries and corresponding resident demersal fish components from Georges...
