In this thesis, stature reconstruction of three prehistoric/protohistoric Native American populations (from Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, and South Dakota) was performed using the Fully Anatomical method in order to formulate regression equations and analyze the ability of regression equations of other researchers to accurately estimate the statures within my study...
The purpose of this study was to determine if amount and kind of thinning had an effect on wood specific gravity, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, growth rate, or pulp yield and kappa number. The study involved 24 1/5-acre plots, three plots in each of eight thinning treatments. The...

This paper describes the synthesis of t-butyl bicyclo[7.1.0]
decane-2-percarboxylate and its photolytic decomposition. The title
compound was found to undergo simple homolytic cleavage when exposed
to light of 2537 A; producing the cyclodecyl radical, carbon dioxide,
and t-butoxy radical. The largest percentage of products arose from
an intimate radical pair...
Since many 1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyrimidines have become available
and commercially useful in recent years, a study of the chemistry
of certain of these compounds has been undertaken.
2-Hydroxy- and 2-mercapto-1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyrimidine
have been synthesized by the condensation of urea and thiourea, respectively,
with 1, 3-propanediamine, with yields...
