A comparative study was made of Pinus ponderosa Laws, and
Arceuthobium campylopodum Engelm. f . campylopodum to determine
(1) whether or not the parasite or parasitized tissues accumulate
abnormal concentrations of minerals, (2) whether or not there
was evidence of a blockage of mineral translocation in the phloem
because of...
Much has been written concerning the determination
of a single sampling plan given two points on the operating characteristic (OC) curve. A computer program is
presented which will provide minimum sample size for
single sample attribute sampling plans. The program
provides sampling plans based on the binomial distribution. It incorporates...
The principal objective of this study was to compare the results of a proposed method based upon the response surface model to the Taguchi method. To modify the
Taguchi method, the proposed model was developed to encompass the following
objectives. The first, with the exception of the Taguchi inner array,...
This paper addresses the order-picking problem in a warehouse
and establishes some criteria for the planning, design, and improvement
of a warehouse layout to increase the order-picking efficiency.
A simulation model has been developed to study the effect of
warehouse layout on the order-picking throughput. Three major design
elements of...
Four studies were conducted in the llama (Lama glama) evaluating changes in reproductive physiology, vaginal cytology, and growth. Study I. Temporal changes in vaginal cytology were correlated with alterations in serum estradiol -17β and progesterone concentrations. A 2 * 2 factorial study examined the treatment effects of a) concurrent male...
Author Nella Larsen and photographer James VanDerZee are two of the most canonical figures of Harlem Renaissance studies, whose respective novels and portraits have been explored extensively, if separately, by scholars. Both Larsen's 1929 novel Passing and VanDerZee's studio portraiture of the 1920s and 1930s have been read in terms...
A two-scale approach for the turbulent mixing of momentum in an unstable stratified boundary layer is proposed in an attempt to eliminate existing inconsistencies between parameterized mixing of heat and momentum. The parameterization of the large eddy stress is suitable for simple boundary layer models where computational efficiency is important....
Atmospheric boundary layers become stably stratified at night over land when the surface becomes colder than the air layer above. In stable nocturnal boundary layers (SNBL), turbulence becomes weak and intermittent, terrain-induced phenomena such as drainage currents or gravity-waves emerge and the surface heterogeneity is enhanced. Because of their complexity...
