This thesis investigates a way to fabricate P-N junctions by
percussive welding. The theoretical basis of percussive welding, design
considerations of the apparatus used, and the electrical characteristics
of the junctions were the main objectives of this investigation.

Magnetic, gravity and bathymetry data were collected on an extended
cruise of the R/V Yaquina in 1969. The last set of data was obtained
from those track lines leaving the Panama Basin. The area
covered is mainly the Cocos plate (Molnar and Sykes, 1969). The data
is analyzed and compared...
Grain-size distributions of gravels transported as bedload in Oak Creek, Oregon,
show systematic variations with changing flow discharges. At low discharges the gravel
distributions are nearly symmetrical and Gaussian. As discharges increase, the
distributions become more skewed and follow the ideal Rosin distribution. The patterns of
variations are established by...
