The problem of analyzing the general linear, time-varying
system is investigated. The approach starts with four different
system representations: the differential equation, transform representations,
signal flow graphs, or block diagrams. Given one of
these system describing representations, it is shown what the
engineer can find out about the system and...
Of 2,122 marine fishes belonging to 36 species collected in the
vicinity of Newport, Oregon, 541 belonging to 8 species were infected
with hemoflagellates. Four species of trypanosomes and three species
of cryptobias were found in offshore fishes, but no hemoflagellates
were observed in fishes from Yaquina Bay.

The central purpose of this study was to formulate and test a
model for securing information from the ornamental horticultural
industry that would provide a basis for curriculum development in
vocational agriculture. In order to develop the model, it was necessary
to accomplish the following:
1. Determine typical occupations in...
A pharmacognostic study was made of the root of Heracleum
mantegazzianum, an umbelliferous species which is of value as a
source of natural coumarins.
Three groups of seeds were tested to determine the presence
of a germination requirement for moist cold and the possible value
of gibberellic acid in obviating...
The Pacific Coast variety of Douglas-fir was investigated.
The samples were tested using both forced and free vibrations. Transverse
vibrations were introduced by excitations on the side of the
samples. Forced vibrations were applied from 5000 to 0 hertz by a
vibration generator, and free vibrations were initiated by a...
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...
A study was conducted of the influence of various climatic and
soil factors on the development of onion pink root disease and of the
influences of temperature, light, pH, carbon and nitrogen sources,
and vitamins on the growth in vitro of an Oregon isolate of the pink
root fungus, Pyrenochaeta...
