One of the major objectives of the Western. Coniferous Biome is to understand the relation between terrestrial ecosystems and the chemical and biological properties of drainage waters. The first year of study on such a program has been completed and has primarily entailed a year of descriptive studies.
The substrate noise injected by a stepped buffer circuit into two single-ended 1.5GHz low noise amplifiers is examined for a heavily doped 0.25µm CMOS process. The difference in the LNA noise rejection is characterized as a function of the size and placement of substrate contacts. The use of a resistive...
A gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of the antitumor agent
cetoniacytone A was identified in Actinomyces sp. strain Lu 9419, an
endosymbiotic bacteria isolated from the intestines of the rose chafer beetle. The
nucleotide sequence analysis of the 26 Kb DNA region revealed the presence of 17
complete ORFs,...
The critical contribution of this dissertation is to provide a better
understanding of the fundamental Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD) growth
kinetic and mechanism for the well known II-VI semiconductor CdS using the
newly developed continuous flow microreactor. This continuous flow microreactor
provides the temporal resolution to control the homogeneous reaction...
This proposal by the Coniferous Biome investigators requests support for the second year of a highly integrated series of investigations within the Analysis of Ecosystem program of the United States effort under the International Biological Program. The program for the Coniferous Forest Biome has been approved by the U.S. Executive...
Research activities in the post-IBP phase of the Biome program prior to July 1975 were reported in Internal Report 162. Summaries of research and synthesis activities from July 1975 to August 1976 are presented here. The reports are arranged in the following order: Analysis of individual terrestrial ecosystems, which has...
