An all-glass gas chromatograph was developed for the analysis
of corrosive metal halides. Included in the apparatus is a new liquid
sampling system designed for fast repetitive sampling of corrosive
liquids in an inert atmosphere. A flame photometer detector was developed
to permit the detection of corrosive solutes in the...
The thesis discusses stability of procedures based on linear
computing formulas for numerical integration of an ordinary first-order
differential equation. The theorems are proved: (1) If the
procedure is asymptotically stable it is stable for small positive step
size if the Lipschitz number is negative; (2) Relative stability always
exists...
A new procedure is developed for computing a root of algebraic equations with real coefficients and a degree n, where n is 2, 4, 6, 10, 14 or any positive odd integer. A heuristic procedure is added to partially lift the restrictions on the degree n. The procedures are written...
The effects of deficit irrigations and nitrogen rates on the yield and size distribution of 'Detroit Dark Red' table beets were investigated during 1985 and 1986. Beets were grown on a Chehalis silty clay loam (fine-silty, mixed , mesic Cumulic Ultic Haploxeroll) (7.5 cm of available water per 30 cm...
A lexicon describing the sensory perception of carbonated water was
developed. Temporal aspects and differing ingestion conditions were
investigated for Bite and Burn sensation using time-intensity (T-I). Four CO₂
levels (0, 1.7, 2.8, and 4.6 volumes) at 3°C and 10°C were tested. Trained
panelists used a 16-pt category scale for...
This paper evaluates Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 5: Natural Resources and Goal 17
Coastal Shorelands, planning programs and makes recommendations for improvement to the
Oregon members of the Columbia River Estuary Study Task Force (CREST). CREST is a
Council of Governments formed in 1974 which includes the local counties, cities...
