Direct digital control is becoming quite common in the control
of industrial processes. However, due to the relatively high accuracy
of both analog and conventional digital systems for controlling the
speed of a dc motor, there has been a reluctance to try DDC for
this purpose. This thesis describes a...

A study was made of the subgenus Genuini of the genus Juncus in the Pacific States, California, Oregon and Washington. Extensive morphological comparisons, geographical distributions, habitat differences and observations of apparent presence or absence of natural hybrids provided the major data sources. Cytological studies were made, but were inconclusive. Eleven...
In this dissertation, time-based signal processing techniques and their applications in oversampling and noise-shaping data converters are examined. These techniques demonstrate the ability to shift the burden of high performance analog circuits from the compressed voltage-domain to the augmented time-domain. First, the potential of high order noise-shaping and phase-domain feedback...
This study describes Extension field staff orientations toward
poverty. Expressions on origins, solutions and definitions of poverty
were elicited from informants. Responses were then classified by
categories, coded and analyzed using the Statistical Interactive Programming
System (SIPS). Orientations were then measured by identifying
modal categories. A category was identified as...
