The Oregon State University Production Line of Single
Comb White Leghorns was under selection for increased henhoused
egg production from 1947 through 1972. Since henhoused
egg production is directly related to mortality,
mortality would be expected to decrease over the years if
selection was effective. To determine if the mortality...
The Virgin Valley-McGee Mountain area is located in the northwest
corner of Nevada in the northwestern part of the Basin and
Range structural province.
Rocks within the area consist predominantly of Miocene to
Pleistocene volcanic rocks and volcanic derived sedimentary rocks.
The volcanic rocks include rhyolite, rhyolite welded tuffs, and...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
WILLIAM GLEN WENDELL for the
Heats of immersion were obtained for four different organophilic
clay complexes in a series of normal alcohol-heptane mixtures
with alcohols of increasing chain length. The immersion calorimeter
employed was the Dewar type with a sensitivity of approximately
5 x 10⁻⁵°C.
Gel volumes were determined for two of the clay complexes...
Adsorption on a series of primary n-alkylammonium bentonites
was studied by simultaneous gravimetric determination of the adsorption
isotherm and X-ray diffraction measurement of the c-spacing.
All adsorbates gave typical Type II isotherms. BET plots
were linear in the region P/P[subscript o] = 0.10 - 0.35 and v[subscript m] values were...
