A probability model has been developed for the survival of
irradiated bacteria with respect to the dose of radiation. This model
is applicable to those bacterial taxa to which the target theory applies.
Three estimation procedures are given for the purpose of
obtaining estimates of the probability model's parameters. These...
Streamside buffer strips provide numerous benefits to stream ecosystems. The buffer strips create shade, provide shelter for wildlife, act as barriers to logging debris during and after timber harvest, and serve as a continued source of large woody debris. Quantifying woody inputs resulting from windthrow provides managers with estimates for...
This thesis presents the creep properties and the relations
between stress and strain of "Expanded 460KV", "Chukar" and
"Drake" conductors. The basic theories of the effect of load,
material, and temperature on the conductor are also briefly
discussed.
The long time creep curve of a conductor appears as a
straight...
The purpose of this study is to determine the socioeconomic
factors which influence the profitability and
adoption of new cropping patterns, and to recommend
suitable measures to enhance the crop diversification
program in Mahaweli System B, Sri Lanka. The adoption of
new cropping patterns is determined by a number of...
The purpose of this study was to investigate one of the
effects of the SCIS program in the Corvallis Public Schools.
The investigation was based on a comparison of students
ability to construct a logical theoretical model from a
discrepant event.
The total sample consisting of 289 students, was
obtained...
