This thesis documents a method of proving that Turing machines
work for every case, if the construction of the Turing machine is
known. Mathematical Induction is used to construct the proof that the
Turing machine for binary addition will work in every well-formed case
of the input that it receives....
This investigation attempts to demonstrate that the development
of the early 20th century biological enterprise involved a striving for a
unifying theoretical perspective. A skeletal substantiation of this is
given by an overview of early 20th century biology in which some
biologists began recognizing a multiplicity of different orders of...
This study has analyzed factors which affect the accumulation of terrestrial organic debris within natural gravel streambeds. In
addition, the amounts, sizes, and physical conditions of intruded material were measured, along with the effect of the detritus on intragravel dissolved oxygen levels. Measurements indicate that aged intragravel detritus had no...
"This report is organized as follows. First, the
objectives and methods used are outlined. Background
information follows, including what is known about the
extent, past alterations, and condition of wetlands in
Oregon today; the status of wetland restoration in the U.S.
and in Oregon; definitions of important terms; the functions...
In This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, and several of his short stories, F. Scott Fitzgerald questions the importance of wealth as a factor in supporting happiness and fostering the American Dream on an individual basis. With these texts, Fitzgerald acknowledges that wealth is a factor and, simultaneously, a...
Due to the presence of the earth's ozone layer, radiation of
the shorter solar wavelengths is reduced during penetration of the
atmosphere. Increases in chlorofluoromethanes and nitrogen oxides
may significantly decrease the ozone concentration, resulting in
shorter wavelength penetration, most notably UV-B (290-320 nm)
radiation. Various studies have found UV-B...
