The absorption, translocation and metabolism of a new
herbicide, n-propyl-C¹⁴ N, N-di-n-propyl-thiolcarbamate (PDPC), were
studied in both peanut and soybean plants. These studies were
carried out on plants of different ages and treated at two rates of
application. The residue content of the plants was also determined
from germination to...
The purpose of this study was to determine if
students' school-related attitudes are significantly
affected by teacher classroom discipline management based
upon concepts contained in Judicious Discipline: A Constitutional
Perspective for School Rules (Gathercoal, 1986).
The data relative to student school-related attitudes
of elementary, middle, and high school students toward...
An inelastic scattering experiment was done in which 17-MeV
protons from the Oregon State University cyclotron were scattered
from ¹⁴N
and ¹⁵N gas targets. Angular distributions are shown for
the ground, 6.32-, 7.56-, 8.31-, and 8.57 -MeV states and the 5.3- and
7.2-MeV unresolved doublets of ¹⁵N, and for the...
N-ary relationships, which relate N entities where N is not necessarily two, are omnipresent in real life. In this thesis, we develop a visualization technique for N-ary relationships.
First, we propose a visual metaphor that utilizes vertices and polygons to represent entities and N-ary relationships. Based on this visual metaphor,...
Part I describes the synthesis of bis(fac-S)((tris)2-aminoethanethiolatoiron( III))iron(III) chloride. The compound was first discovered during an attempt to prepare a ternary complex of iron, thiolate and pi-acid ligand. The compound is a reasonably air-stable iron(III)-thiolate that contains a linear tri-iron cluster with each iron bridged to the adjacent iron by...
Experiments were conducted to determine if the plagiotropic
growth habit of rooted cuttings of Douglas-fir might result from a
system favoring the accumulation of indoleacetic acid in the adaxial
side of the shoot in response to vertical placement.
Actively growing excised branch terminals were subjected to
gravitational disorientation to determine...
Blood vessel injury was found to release intracellular pools of protein
D-aspartyl/L-isoaspartyl carboxyl methyltransferase (PIMT) into the extracellular
milieu, where it became trapped. Trapped PIMT was able to utilize radiolabeled
S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) introduced into the circulation to methylate
blood vessel proteins containing altered aspartyl residues specifically at the site
of...
