This dissertation describes a new radio-frequency power-amplifier circuit and mode of operation that exceeds the efficiency of the conventional class C amplifier in the low and medium h-f range. It will be found useful in applications where linearity between the input and output are not required, as in all applications...
"The purpose of this volume is to give practical assistance to those who may be interested
in basket-making. The problems discussed in this book have been carefully planned and execut
ed, applying fundamental principles of color,
form, and design. Many of the difficulties
in basket-making, which we have experienced,
cannot...
This study was undertaken to quantitatively evaluate the
relationship between silvering of the skin of juvenile coho
salmon, due to the deposition of the purines guanine and
hypoxanthine, and adaptation to seawater. It was hypothesized
that maximum purine deposition occurs at the time these fish
normally enter seawater, that the...
C-methyltransferase
(HIOMT) in chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha). Various body tissues, as well as several
morphological brain divisions were tested for the presence
of HIOMT. Activity was found in the retina, the dorsal
portion of the diencephalon, and in the pineal gland of
chinook. However, the activity was significantly higher
in...
A mathematical model was developed to predict the absorption
rate of a slightly soluble gas entrained by a plunging liquid jet. The
single parameter of the model, the transfer factor, TF, was defined
as the summation of the product of the mass transfer coefficient and
interfacial area over all the...
There is evidence that recent ecological changes in lakes and their watersheds can be detected from analysis of lake sediments. This study was initiated to correlate
changes in some sediment characteristics of four Oregon lakes with past cultural developments of the lakes and their watersheds. The lakes chosen for this...
The relative rates of hydrogen abstraction from a series of 13
arylmethanes by the trichloromethyl radical were determined at 70°.
The attacking radical was generated from bromotrichloromethane us
ing benzoyl peroxide as the initiator. The solvent was benzenebromotrichloromethane.
An excellent correlation, with a coefficient
of 0.977, was obtained when the...
The need for graphical presentation arises in many disciplines. This thesis describes a prototype software system, the graph creation system, which gives unspecialized users the ability to create and display a variety of graphical figures. Templates for types of graphical figures, and the user interactions for creating instances of a...
