If P is an integer polynomial denote the degree of P by ∂(P) and let H(P) be the maximum of the absolute value of the coefficients of P. Define Λ(P)=2[superscript ∂(P)]H(P) and for a fixed prime p let C[subscript p] denote the completion of the algebraic closure of the p-adic...
Globally the forest harvesting industry is becoming increasingly mechanized. Driving this trend is the desire to increase productivity and reduce cost, as well as to improve labor-related issues. With mechanization comes an in-forest platform for the introduction of state-of-the-art communication and measurement technologies, and powerful on-board computers. These systems have...
The purpose of this study was to explore and describe
the nature of local school-community human service agency
collaboration undertaken to address the needs of at-risk
youth. The study focused on the experience of four youth
services teams in two Oregon counties.
A qualitative, multiple-case study approach was used as...
In this dissertation, we use Fourier-analytic methods to study questions of equidistribution on the compact abelian group Zp of p-adic integers. In particu- lar, we prove a LeVeque-type Fourier analytic upper bound on the discrepancy of sequences. We establish p-adic analogues of the classical Dirichlet and Fejér kernels on R/Z,...
Aquatic animals are exposed to a variety of natural and
anthropogenic xenobiotics. Biotransformation of xenobiotics was
examined in three aquatic animals: a primitive mollusc (chiton);
a shellfish which is an important human food source (oyster);
and, a lower vertebrate model for toxicological studies (rainbow
trout). Since digestive glands of Cryntochiton...
In situ, reduction of Cp*ReO₃ by PPh₃ to form (Cp*ReO)₂(μ-O)₂ allows catalytic deoxygenation of epoxides, however, conproportionation between Reⱽ and Reⱽᴵᴵ species to form clusters of ((Cp*Re)₃(μ-O)₆}²⁺(ReO₄⁻)2 and new compound {(Cp*Re)₃(μ²-O)₃(μ³-O⁾³ReO₃}⁺(ReO₄⁻) leads to removal of rhenium from the catalytic cycle and loss of activity, The epoxide deoxygenation mediated by (Cp*ReO)₂(μ-O)₂...
