The emerging picture of frontal scale air–sea interaction derived from high-resolution satellite observations of surface winds and sea surface temperature (SST) provides a unique opportunity to test the fidelity of high-resolution coupled climate simulations. Initial analysis of the output of a suite of Community Climate System Model (CCSM) experiments indicates...
There is much interest in the State of Vermont in cable harvesting. Since there are no time studies available for cable harvesting with various machines in Vermont, it is necessary to arrive at production and cost levels by a different method.
The method chosen for this paper is made up...
This thesis is an engineering report on the creep behavior of
power transmission line conductors. Laboratory creep test results
are reported for Pheasant, Narcissus and Chukar conductors.
The report follows a standard nomenclature and format suggested
by the International Study Committee No. 6 of Conference
Internationale des Grands Reseaux Electriques...
The objectives of this study were to 1) characterize the layering in the wall of the Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga. menziesii (Mirb. ) Franco) phellem cell, 2) determine the pitting present in this cell wall and 3) determine what compounds are present in the middle lamella of this cell. To accomplish the...
The objective of this study was to investigate the low seed
germination of 12 varieties of Oregon grown monogerm sugar beet,
Beta vulgaris L., using several methods to determine the germination
potential. The methods were: (1) X-ray radiograph examination,
(2) standard laboratory germination following official rules,
(3) laboratory germination by...
Maturation rates of monogerm sugar beet seed grown in Western
Oregon were measured quantitatively to determine attainment of maximum
seed development and germination. Seed was collected at various
intervals after anthesis from two hybrid varieties representing the
extremes in resistance (hard bolting) and susceptibility (easy bolting)
to seedstalk development. The...
