The thermal contact conductance (TCC) between two machined pieces of stainless steel was studied. A guarded hot plate thermal conductivity test fixture was designed and built for the experiment. Factors investigated included the contact pressure, surface roughness, interface material and average test temperature. The contact pressure at the interface ranged...
Since vegetables are of such importance in the nutrition of human beings, it is natural that they should play a large part in Army feeding. They are high in food value. The different kinds vary widely in their energy values; some-- like potatoes--are high in carbohydrates, others--like lettuce and cucumbers--...
The purpose of this thesis is to apply the Canonical Correlation
Analysis (CCA) which belongs to the parametric methods for power
spectral estimation in the environments of either white noise or
colored noise. It is shown that optimal state space variables
belong to the range space of the canonical vectors...
Studies were conducted from 1962 to 1966 to investigate the
effectiveness of several practices in manipulating medusahead
(Taeniatherum asperum (Sim. ) Nevski) infested and/or dominated
ecosystems by releasing competition in favor of perennial grasses.
Several herbicide treatments were evaluated for selective
control of medusahead and cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L. )...
