This thesis examines various net or finite difference methods
for solving parabolic partial differential equations in one space variable
with constant coefficients. Included in this investigation are
explicit, implicit and multi-step methods of varying orders of accuracy.
These methods are compared with respect to accuracy, speed,
efficiency, stability, simplicity of...
The effect of 0% (all-beef) and 30% replacement of beef by hydrated
soy protein concentrate (beef-soy) on vitamin B₆ retention in meat
loaves was investigated. Vitamin B₆, moisture, fat and nitrogen contents
were determined in raw meat loaf mixtures, as well as in freshly baked,
held, chilled and microwave reheated...
Several variations of budding and cutting propagation methods
were tested for use with filberts. Both summer budding and chip
budding attempts were generally unsuccessful. However, the results
of employing measures to retard desiccation of buds and increase
callusing rates indicate possibilities for future success. Numerous
sheathing, wrapping and sealing materials...
The control of filbert (Corylus Avellana L.) suckers by means
of herbicides was investigated in three phases during 1968 and 1969.
(1) Screening trials, on canned filbert trees in the greenhouse, to
determine the effectiveness of various herbicides and concentrations
in controlling vegetative growth. (2) A summary experiment in the...
