The relative conductance at room temperature of a solution in
kaolin membranes was studied as a function of the volume fraction of
the membrane. The resistances of the membrane and of the solution
were measured for various volume fractions, and the conductance of
the membrane relative to the solution was...
This has been a banner year for open access, and the momentum shows no sign of letting up. College and university faculties, and the granting agencies that fund a significant amount of their research, are increasingly embracing open access to ensure research findings across disciplines are freely accessible to the...
This thesis examines the food insecurity experiences of student clients of the Oregon State University Emergency Food Pantry. Utilizing semi‐structured interviews and participant observation at the food pantry, this study investigated who is using the food pantry, the forms of food insecurity they experience, how they cope with it, and...
Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly applied in conservation management
to predict suitable habitat for poorly known populations. High predictive performance of
SDMs is evident in validations performed within the model calibration area (interpolation),
but few studies have assessed SDM transferability to novel areas (extrapolation), particularly
across large spatial scales...

Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly applied in conservation management to predict suitable habitat for poorly known populations. High predictive performance of SDMs is evident in validations performed within the model calibration area (interpolation), but few studies have assessed SDM transferability to novel areas (extrapolation), particularly across large spatial scales...
2, 4-Decadienal was autoxidized by subjecting a purified sample to an atmosphere of pure oxygen for 14 hours. A qualitative analysis of the autoxidative degradation products was made utilizing tandem gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Additional information was obtained from the determination of the melting point of the DNP-hydrazone derivative...
Power spectral analysis using the maximum entropy method is
applied to the estimation of depth to the source of magnetic anomalies.
The method assumes that the source is two-dimensional and has a
magnetization with random intensity. The predictive ability of the
maximum entropy technique permits analysis of short segments of...
Theoretical derivations to describe pan evaporation, E[subscript p], and evapotranspiration, ET[subscript r], were developed based on a flow equation expressed as the product of the driving force for vapor between the evaporative surface and a plane of reference times a conductivity coefficient of vapor through air. Under the assumptions of...
This paper describes the synthesis of t-butyl bicyclo[7.1.0]
decane-2-percarboxylate and its photolytic decomposition. The title
compound was found to undergo simple homolytic cleavage when exposed
to light of 2537 A; producing the cyclodecyl radical, carbon dioxide,
and t-butoxy radical. The largest percentage of products arose from
an intimate radical pair...
The continental margin off the coast of Pakistan between the
Murray ridge and the Gulf of Cambay has been studied in this
work using gravity, magnetic and bathymetric data. Two dimensional
gravity and magnetic models based on free-air
gravity and residual magnetic data are developed along a north-south
profile off...
