The purpose of the past year's research was to begin measurement of the respiratory metabolism of zooplankton and phytoplankton in four lakes in the Lake Washington drainage. This was done, using an enzyme assay for the activity of the electron transport system. The lakes were sampled frequently and depth profiles...

The continuous-time mathematics of a binary-decision making neuromime are presented. The model, generally describable as a simplification of the Hodgkin-Huxley model, seeks to mimic many properties of biological neurons including spatial and temporal summation of excitatory and inhibitory inputs, action potential evolution controlled by countervailing charge movements, and postinhibitory rebound...
The inert gas ion bombardment of solid surfaces has
found many uses in the field of analytical chemistry. In
one method of spectrochemical analysis, inert gas ion
bombardment in a glow discharge is used to produce an atomic
vapor, representative of the sample bulk, which is analyzed
using atomic absorption...
Optimal well placement and optimal well control are two important areas of study in oilfield development. Although the two problems differ in several respects, both are important considerations in optimizing total oilfield production, and so recent work in the field has considered the problem of addressing both problems jointly. Two...
