Heats of immersion and swelling of quaternary ammonium complexes of montmorillonites

Creator:: St. Clair, Akos Dominic
Abstract:: Heats of immersion were obtained for four different organophilic clay complexes in a series of normal alcohol-heptane mixtures with alcohols of increasing chain length. The immersion calorimeter employed was the Dewar type with a sensitivity of approximately 5 x 10⁻⁵°C. Gel volumes were determined for two of the clay complexes...

Douglas-fir Seedlings in the Pacific Northwest: The Genetics of Drought Adaptation

Creator:: Celer, Erda
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is a widely distributed, ecologically important, and commercially valuable tree species in North America. However, climate change is expected to adversely impact Douglas-fir trees, and assisted migration may become necessary to lessen the effects of climate change. Because drought stress is one of the projected effects of...
