Polyoxoniobates (PONbs) are attracting great attention in recent years due to its novelty as well as a variety of geometrical presentations in different pH conditions. In this paper we are reporting the reaction of tetramethyl-decaniobate ([(CH3)4N]6[Nb10O28]) with alkaline carbonates to observe the periodic trend of alkaline ions interacting with the...
Wood composites are an important renewable structural material which can be a net carbon sink when used in combination with sustainable forest management practices and high rates of log utilization. Adhesive bondlines are an essential part of composites, and for wood composites, they determine the moisture durability and mechanical performance...
The purpose of the study was to compare differences among 18 personality
trait scales of the California Personality Inventory (CPI), six American Association of
Health, Physical Education and Recreation (AAHPER) tests of physical fitness, and
Ponderal Index (PI, or body mass) measurements for a population of ethnic Chinese
and aboriginal...
Elasticity properties of wood studs are essential inputs for
the structural analysis of wood-stud wall systems.
A theoretical procedure was developed to determine the probability
distributions for the deflection-load relations of stud samples.
The procedure is based on the finite element analysis and a Monte-
Carlo type simulation and accounts...
Land useable for livestock grazing in the western United States is
diminishing because of spreading municipalities, irrigation developments,
highway construction, recreational demands and withdrawals.
Concurrently, the demand for livestock and livestock products is increasing
because of a rapidly growing population. As a result, production
from the grazing land that remains...
The host fish for this study were collected from January
through June of 1965. Tidepools were selected at Bar View, Cape
Arago, Neptune State Park, Seal Rock, and Yaquina Head. Of the
187 fish examined, 132 were infected. The following host fishes
yielded the following parasites. New Host records are...
