The effects of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on photosynthesis and
various partial reactions involving the individual photoreactions of
photosynthesis were examined. These reactions included photo-reduction in adapted green algae, Hill reaction, cyclic photophosphorylation,
the 520 nm absorbance change and variable-yield fluorescence.
The reactions were measured in spinach chloroplasts and
isolated chloroplasts...
Current observations were obtained at three locations forming
a cross section along 70°34'W longitude in Long Island Sound. Fifteen
days of data were selected from each series so that nearly
simultaneous observations were used in the analysis.
Elementary statistics were computed for the data prior to
performing a least squares...
New technology allows the production of thinner kiln sticks
manufactured of phenolic resin impregnated paper which are both
structurally and economically realistic. This project tested the effects
of kiln stick thicknesses on dry kiln air circulation and on
lumber drying degrade.
Three variables, stick thickness (3/4, 9/16, 7/16 and 1/4...
The substantial increase in resin costs due to the recent energy
crisis, increased public awareness to the problem of free formaldehyde
from boards bonded with urea-formaldehyde resins, and a projected
increase in the production of exterior board have emphasized the need
for new and substitute adhesive systems. One new development...
The wetlands are distinguished from other lands of the Mid-Willamette Valley by excessive soil moisture. The wetlands, as defined for this study, consist of 20 soil series (in 22 soil mapping units) which are classified by the Soil Conservation Service as having excessive wetness as the major factor limiting their...
The ability of the resin to deform plastically can be an
important factor when considering the mechanical properties of particleboard.
Between resin droplets there exists an unbonded region
that forms the surface for a crack. When particleboard is deformed
stress concentrations develop at the crack tips in the voids. A...
Experiments involving poults were conducted with the primary objective of studying the effects of sodium chloride on field rickets. A
second objective was to study the effects of mineral elements on reproduction of turkey breeder males and females. Three experiments were
conducted with poults. A comparison of added dietary sodium...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in the weight training responses of college males and females on the development of muscular strength, body weight, body composition, muscular hypertrophy, and cardiovascular fitness. A total of 60 males and 60 females volunteered to participate in this study. They...
