The purpose of this study was to describe the life cycles,
feeding ecology, and habitat use of western species in the mayfly
family Ephemerellidae. Data were used to compare the ecological
relationships and strategies among species and to examine patterns
of adaptive radiation within the family. Data were further used...
For the past half century, CMOS process scaling has followed Moore's law, approximately doubling transistor density every 18 months. While locally routed wires have generally scaled with transistor size, longer wires have scaled at a slower rate and in some cases have grown larger as chip size and complexity have...
Sinks, plant organs which depend on the import of assimilates
for growth, play a central role in determining assimilate distribution
patterns within the plant. The strawberry fruit is a strong
sink for dry matter and its effect on carbon partitioning and
assimilation in the plant as well as the mechanism...
A steady-state, liquid-liquid contactor, which was a
modified version of a cell Previously developed by Godfrey,
was constructed for the study of interphase mass transfer.
In particular, the contactor was developed in order to
eliminate problems encountered while studyinpg ternay
systems with the conventional Lewis cell.
The system, water-benzoic acid...
The purpose of this study was to determine the relative tolerance of grafted
Vitis rootstocks to low soil pH. In this capacity, the data may be pooled with results
from previous investigations to increase the overall aptitude profile of Vitis
rootstocks. A potential application of this information is that the...
Redlich and Kister have developed two methods for evaluating
thermodynamic consistency of vapor-liquid equilibrium data. These
same authors also developed a power series for classifying systems
according to the number of coefficients required to define the data.
Stockett found it was difficult to classify systems by this method.
Macan suggested...
The present investigation was undertaken to characterize a
number of strains of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus
thermophilus intended for use by a commercial starter supply
company. Thorough characterization of each culture was required in
order to combine compatible strains so that their usefulness in
Mozzarella cheese manufacture would be maximized....
