Copper deficiency and Mo-induced Cu deficiency are nutrition
problems of ruminant livestock in the Burns and Klamath Falls area
of Oregon. Chemical analysis of plant and soil samples was used to
survey Cu and Mo levels in forage in these areas. The objectives
were to assess the possibility of animal...
Field-plot experiments and pot culture techniques were used to
investigate reported Cu deficiency in certain Oregon organic soils.
Field experiments were established in 1973 and 1974 on an acid peat
soil and two alkaline muck soils near Klamath Falls, The effect of
rates of from 0 to 45 kg Cu/ha...
The problem of synchronization arises in the interaction among
digital systems not sharing a common clock reference. The reliability of synchronizers is related to metastable operation of
bistable elements. Because of its subtle nature, the phenomenon
until recently was not widely researched. However, the literature
now contains a sound theoretical...
In 1906, applying Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories to the human race, Sir Francis Galton introduced the concept of eugenics, "the science of the improvement of the human race by better breeding." The rediscovery in 1900 of Mendel's laws of genetic inheritance and an upsurge in hereditarian thought set the stage...
It is popular belief that the volatility of the exchange rate is due
to the balance of payments, which in turn is mainly influenced by the
balance of trade. A closed-loop dynamic economic model is proposed
to describe and analyse the effect of the international trade of a
country on...
A model of a squirrel cage induction machine, d.c.-
link power supply and centrifugal pump is developed and
used in the design and evaluation of a perturbation feedback
control system for a sewage pumping station. A comparison
of the simulation model of the induction machine
and a laboratory machine to...
This research was conducted to compare the performance of
community college students to four -year institutional students both
of which were enrolled in one of three different programs of general
college chemistry for nonscience majors during the 1967 -68 academic
year. The three programs were defined as follows:
Program A...
The relative rates of bridgehead hydrogen abstraction from a
series of 1-substituted adamantanes by the trichloromethyl radical
at 40.0°C. has been carried out. Utilizing the Hammett-Taft equation
a p* value of -0.40 was obtained for this reaction. Application
of the Kirkwood-Westheimer model for the transmission of substituent
effects gave an...
