Studies were conducted with Indian River "Hybro" broiler chicks
and Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station dwarf and normal White
Leghorn hens to improve the utilization of white western wheat. Chick
studies were primarily concerned with characterizing the growth
inducing properties of an antibiotic fermentation residue (Vigofac)
which had shown a greater...
A cost reduction analysis is performed by coordinating
the exchange of LANDSAT (formerly ERTS) data between a CDC
3300 and a PDP8/L minicomputer. The LANDSAT data is displayed
on a 4002 Tektronix terminal by means of a grayscale output.
Large amounts of data and number manipulation are processed
in the...
In this thesis, three model-based methods are presented for finding the location of a
point source with possibly time-varying strength for a class of distributed parameter systems.
The first method involves off-line numerical computation of the time-response data
at the sensor(s) from all possible source locations and functions of source...
The energy absorbed by microscopic volumes exposed to ionizing
radiation is not well represented by the average dose due to the small
number of discrete energy transfers involved. The energy deposited in
a microscopic volume can be determined by measuring the ionization in
a detector filled with gas at low...
The safety of coastal infrastructure has been a concern after the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004 and the Great East Japan Tsunami in 2011. The western coast of the United States is also exposed to tsunami hazards due to the Cascadia subduction zone. Therefore, it is critical to design coastal...
The preparation of 4-(3-hydroxypropyl) cyclohexanone and
of 4-(3-hydroxypropyl) cyclohexene and a number of their derivatives
as potential precursors of asymmetrically substituted bicyclo [3, 3, 1]
nonanes is described.
The ketone, 4-(3-hydroxypropyl) cyclohexanone, was prepared
from p-allylanisole by three different routes. Common to each
route was an initial hydroboration-oxidation followed by...
