The design of checking experiments for sequential machines
which do not initially have a distinguishing sequence is investigated.
Improvem,Jnts are suggested to an existing method for
augmenting the output logic so that the machine acquires homogeneous
distinguishing sequences. To indicate how the procedure
may be implemented on a computer, elements...
The methodology of structured programming has
enabled rapid progress in many areas of theoretical
computer science. Structured programs are generally
easier to debug, test, prove and analyse. The development
of these achievements into commercially viable applications
and products has been slower than expected.
The primary reason is that most of...
The primary objective of this study is to explore the possibilities of two methods to reduce the weight of small commercial timber prior to logging. The two methods studied are injection of cacodylic acid and sour-felling. Treatments were applied in November, 1965 and May, 1966, with final harvest of the...
Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) ranging
from 9.6 to 14.3 inches diameter breast height were treated with
the organic arsenicals, monosodium methanearsonate (MSMA) and
cacodylic acid. Treatments were applied at monthly intervals from
February, 1967 to October, 1968, to ten to 25 trees each month.
Treated trees were sampled in...
Modern science was produced by a Christian society,
and although science has had an effect on Christianity, it
could not itself remain unaffected. In the second half of
the nineteenth century, the subject of evolution was as
much a religious as a scientific issue. The battle line
was drawn and...
In an effort to fill an existing need two small electric service
vehicles were designed, constructed, and tested. The first
acted as a feasibility study and the second as a design prototype.
The vehicles had low cost and the capability of being fabricated by
their users as two main design...
The purpose of this dissertation was to define macrolichen community gradients in relation to succession, grazing and the environment. First, species scores indicating when macrolichen species appeared following disturbance were derived from the literature. Weighted averaging of these data with a community matrix created a successional score for each sample...
