This is a fundamental study of the mechanism of protein particle
removal during flow through sandy soil. Mathematical models for
diffusion-adsorption and diffusion-convection-adsorption processes
were developed and compared with experimental data. An attempt was
made to calculate the distance over which the adsorption forces act.
The differential equation for the...
Transplant shock was induced by applying a range of soil water contents to unstored and cold-stored two-yearold (2+0) bareroot Douglas-fir seedlings graded by root volume. Moisture stress had the greatest influence on
morphological characteristics commonly associated with transplant shock. Terminal growth, lateral growth, stem diameter growth, and needle length increased...
Computer oriented techniques and procedures are presented for the analysis of single and multiple cable systems. Application is made to a two-point mooring system influenced by surface and subsurface hydrodynamic loading. The effects of the various parameters are presented and the numerical method is compared to exact solutions obtained from...
The purpose of this investigation was to ascertain if there are
differences in attitudes among married males, married females,
single males, and single females toward 11 attitudinal variables.
More specifically the study focused on the impact of the college
environment on married students.
The students who participated in the study...
This experiment was designed to investigate the in vivo effects of calcium ions on tetracycline absorption when oral doses of tetracycline and calcium-containing medications were administered concurrently. Twenty-one human volunteers were selected and divided into three equal-sized groups: Group A, Group B, and Group C. Each volunteer in Group A...
The purpose of this investigation was to identify sources of
influence on one major growth trend for college students: the development
of autonomy. Specifically, the study focused on whether
change in autonomy in college freshmen was related to the background
of the students, their associations with peers, their contacts with...
In order to assess the importance of RNA synthesis in the induction
and antibody-producing phases of immune responses, actinomycin
D was used to inhibit the primary and secondary in vitro immune
responses of mouse spleen cells against heterologous erythrocytes.
The presence of actinomycin D (0.1 or 0.125 μg /ml) throughout...
The development and evaluation of a system for the handling, maintenance
and transcription of nursing home patient care orders are
described.
Before implementation of this documentation system, the study
nursing home was found to be out of compliance with various state,
federal and professional practice standards related to patient care...
