Victoria blight of oats is caused by the fungus Cochhobolus victoriae. This fungus is pathogenic due to its ability to produce the host-selective toxin victorin. Previously, a 100-kD protein that binds victorin in vivo only in susceptible genotypes was identified as
the P protein of the glycine decarboxylase complex (GDC)....
Resistance of reinforced concrete beams to diagonal tension
was studied in a series of papers which included beams without
web reinforcement and beams with various types of web reinforcement.
The magnitude of the loading causing the formation of initial
diagonal tension cracks depended primarily on the dimensions of
the cross...
This paper investigates a particular bridge construction technique
which could result in a significant torsional moment. The
structural member under consideration is a prestressed concrete
girder for which no torsional consideration is made.
Torsional shear stresses can be adequately approximated for
an I-shaped girder. Laboratory model tests were performed to...
There is a considerable amount of vacant land
zoned for industrial use within the Corvallis Urban Growth
Boundary. A detailed investigation of the area reveals
a total of 632.98 acres of such land. However, when closely
scrutinized, it appears that the total number of acres is
misleading, as only 77.50...
The Farm Enterprise Committee of the Confederated Tribes of
the Umatilla Indian Reservation requested that an evaluation be made
of the Reservation land resource for the purpose of acquisition by the
Tribe as a part of a study of the feasibility of an expanded farm
enterprise. The Committee's primary goal...
A method of analysis of arbitrarily shaped prestressed concrete
members for biaxial bending is given. The stress-strain curve of
the concrete is represented by two parabolic segments, and the
effects of strain hardening of the steel are included in the analysis.
An iterative numerical procedure is used to solve for...
