This investigation was concerned with the reduction of
waste in raw vegetables and fruits between the times of harvest
and consumption. Reduction of spoilage in produce was attempted
by means of chemical and. physical agents as well as a combination
of both.
The first phase of the work consisted of...

This investigation is a study of how the magnitude
and energy distribution of the photoelectric current from
the light emergent side of thin silver films varies with
film thickness. The Fowler-Dubridge graphical analysis
of the energy distribution of photoelectrons is used to
determine the energy of the most energetic of...
Waste water lagoons have been used as a satisfactory means of
treating domestic and certain industrial wastes in many parts of the
country. Many of the parameters that govern the applicability of this
type of treatment process are climatic in nature, and critical evaluation
of local climatic conditions, as well...
In order to better characterize linker histone interactions with DNA, avian erythrocyte-specific linker H5 and the trypsin-resistant globular domain of H5 (GH5) were used in DNA binding studies. To begin, H5 displayed a considerably higher binding
affinity for DNA than the isolated globular domain (GH5), supporting the importance of the...
Spring frost damage to pears in the Pacific Northwest frequently
results in substantial crop losses. This research was undertaken to
investigate the effects of frost on pear buds, flowers, and fruit
through controlled freezing tests and field studies in order to better
understand the frost phenomenon and refine frost protection...
Cognitive and other neural processes emerge from the interactions be- tween neurons. Major advances have been made in studying networks in which the interac- fions occur instantaneously by means ofgraded synapses (Guckenheimer and Rowat, I 997). In other networks, the interaction between neurons involves time-delayed signals (action potentials or spikes)...
The study, design, construction, operation and care
or synchronous machines forms one of the most important
branches of electrical engineering. The extent to which
they are now being used is a notable feature of recent
electric progress.
The term synchronous machines covers quite a field
and it might be well...
