Several investigators have recently called attention to the
fact that the flux equation for water movement in unsaturated soils
may not be an appropriate mathematical model for the development
of the theory of unsaturated flow phenomena.
An analytical theory is developed for the purpose of testing
the validity of the...
The effect of source of dietary carboyhydrate upon the concentration
and distribution of phospholipids in the fractions of human
blood was studied. Three healthy women received diets which contained
16% of the calories as protein, 40% as fat, and 44% as carbohydrate.
During the four dietary periods of six days...
Major objectives of the study involved development of a laboratory
procedure to obtain mating, determining characteristics of female
sex attraction, and determination of the effects of temperature and
humidity on mating and fecundity. The second of two methods devised
to obtain mating, "the vertical airflow technique," was convenient to
employ...
Chemical dosimetry developed in response to needs created by
developments in the field of high-energy radiation. Shortly after the
discovery of X-rays in 1895 and of radioactivity in 1896, the deleterious
effects of ionizing radiation were recognized. To guard against the
injurious effects of radiation in medical application, dose-measuring
methods...
