This thesis presents a matrix analysis of structures
with semirigid connections. The stiffness factor of a
connection has been assumed to be a constant as represented
by the initial relationship of moment versus
rotation. Three cases are considered: Case I - structures
with semirigid connections, column width and beam
depth...
The partitioning of body fluids in the Pacific hagfish was investigated
using several experimental techniques. Direct measurement
of the blood volume was obtained through the simultaneous use
of tagged red blood cells and plasma proteins labeled with Evan's
blue dye. Blood cells obtained from donor animals were incubated
with L-methionin-methyl-C¹⁴...
The nonlinear response of a ten-story steel structure with semirigid
girder connections is studied under conditions of dynamic loading.
The dynamic loading used in this study is the North-South component
of the May 18, 1940 El Centro, California earthquake. To deal
with the complexity of the problem the structure is...
In study 111, four Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) stocktypes (1-0, 2-0 standard nursery run and low density bareroot seedlings, and 1 year old container stock) were outplanted in a randomized
incomplete block design to an old field in the Willamette Valley of Oregon in a factorial experiment t4 stocktypes...
Western redcedar, western hemlock, and Douglas-fir seedlings were transplanted into pots in one of two soils representative of high and low levels of available NO3 (and total N). The soils were collected from sites at Cascade Head (Oregon Coast) and Wind River (Washington Cascades). Whole plant and component relative dry...
