The surface mining of coal has accelerated in
northwest Colorado to the point where public pressure
plus impending state and federal regulations dictate the
need for comprehensive reclamation plans. A large coal
company operating in Moffat County has solicited recommendations
concerning soils, hydrogeology, geomorphology,
aesthetics, wildlife, vegetation, microclimatology, and
legal...
A log step develops when large woody debris extends across the active
channel, creating a change in the water surface elevation as the stream
spills over the log step. By forming a series of vertical falls, log
steps reduce the amount of potential energy available for conversion to
kinetic energy...
The following pages will accomplish several tasks. First, the marsh subtypes described by Jefferson as used in the map legend will be outlined and critiqued. Second, the techniques used in the OCC & DC mapping will be discussed and consequent map overlays will be presented which depict the errors in...
The primary purpose of this study was to examine the relationship
between managing emotions scores and the variables of education level, affiliation,
number of relationships, commitment to relationships, and parental
divorce.
The instrument used in the study was the Iowa Development
Inventory-B with questions added to measure behavior relative to...
Post World War II victory culture and its fallout-the consensus ideology-led to the creation of a middle class willing to conform to a prescribed set of ideals, safely removed from all danger, and enjoying the material benefits of a growing middle-class income bracket. Walt Disney and Hugh Hefner, two seemingly...
The respiratory tract is lined with a mucous blanket which is
motivated by a ciliated epithelium. This blanket includes a lower
serous layer of fluid through which the cilia beat and an upper viscid
layer into which particulates from the inhaled air are deposited.
The movement of the mucous blanket...
Ant-300, a psychrophilic marine vibrio, was starved for periods in excess of one year. Cells starved at a high initial cell density increased in numbers from 100 to 800% of the initial number of cells during the first week. Fifty percent of the population remained viable for six weeks while...
Fuel loading patterns which have a minimum power peak are
economically desirable to allow power reactors to operate at the highest
possible power density and to minimize the possibility of fuel
failure. A computer code called SHUFLE was developed for pressurized
water reactors which shuffles the fuel in search of...
A system to perform neutron radiographic analysis of dynamic
events taking place over the order of several milliseconds has been
developed at Oregon State University. The design consists of a TRIGA
reactor capable of pulsing to 3000 MW peak power, a neutron beam
collimator with an L/D of about 30:1,...
Low temperature noise measurements on junction field-effect
transistors tend to substantiate a theory of low frequency field-effect
transistor noise based on the presence of generation centers in the
gate-channel depletion region. Measurements of device noise voltage
versus temperature reveal pronounced maxima and minima over the
temperature range of 300° K...
School systems have an important responsibility to continuously
examine and review their educational programs to determine if the
programs satisfy the needs of the youth they serve. Systematically
collected data derived from former and present students can enable
the school system to appraise its effectiveness in fulfilling the aim
it...
Two built-up wide-flange beams with several large holes in each
beam were tested to failure. Strains were measured by strain gages
at various levels, located at the ends and center of typical holes, and
deflections were measured optically at two points on each beam.
Lateral bracing was provided to prevent...
Some desirable features of a solar energy collector are listed
and a collector design is presented which incorporates their features.
As the collector is operated, air flows within the collector enclosure
and is heated as it passes through a porous radiant energy receiver
mounted in the enclosure. The porous energy...
