Objectives of this study were to ascertain the effect of fat
and urea, used alone or in combination, on rumen cellulose digestion
in vitro.
A closed in vitro system (24 hour digestion) was used with a
5 x 4 factorial arrangement of treatments to study the effect of added
corn...
It is desirable to be able to describe an automobile mathematically
because of the large number of variables which affect automobiles'
handling characteristics and of the high cost of building prototypes.
A mathematical analysis facilitates the construction of a
few prototypes whose configurations look most promising.
Equations of motion were...
The purpose of this work was to design a system for measuring
the velocity of a powder actuated fastener or drivepin during penetration.
This system would provide a tool for further investigation
into drivepin penetration characteristics. The main characteristic
of interest is the instantaneous acceleration from which the forces
on...
John Wesley Powell worked actively for public land system
reform while a director of geographical and geological surveys in
the West from 1869 to 1894. Although this has won him acclaim as a
conservationist, the basis of Powell's linkage of reform with
scientific work is poorly understood.
A study of...
