Local and average heat transfer coefficients for heat transfer from internal tubes to a fluidized bed were investigated. A fluidized bed heat exchanger was compared to a baffled and an unbaffled exchanger in terms of power and heat transfer surface area requirements. The fluidized bed heat exchanger consisted of a...
The Artemisia ludoviciana polyploid complex is a highly polymorphic
assembledge of eight taxa in the Pacific Northwest, with a
chromosome base number of x=9. A cytogenetic analysis of this
complex was carried out to determine the sources of its variation,
the types of polyploidy present, and the genetic processes active...
This book is an environmental primer for the people of the Willamette Valley. It sets forth basic principles showing how men's actions cause future consequences in the environment.
The conventional method for structural design of wood-joist
floors is over-simplified and often results in stronger and stiffer
floors than necessary. There is also a need to include in the floor
design additional criteria dealing with human response to floor vibration
such as that due to walking.
This study develops...
Several procedures for isolating ribosomes from the fat body
of female cockroaches are described and evaluated. The addition
of deoxycholate or Triton X-100 to the homogenizing medium rather
than to the postmitochondrial supernatant was an important factor
in improving the yield of ribosomes.
The fat body ribosomes were characterized and...
Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of
certain plant regulatory chemicals on seed production of
alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Two plant regulators, SADH
(succinic acid 2,2-dimethylhydrazide) and TIBA (2,3,5-
triiodobenzoic acid), received particular attention.
Replicated field tests of the plant regulators were
carried out on the cultivar 'Talent' in...
