All carbon steel that is used in tools, springs,
and machine parts where tempering is necessary undergoes
three distinct heat treatments: first, heating for forging;
second, heating for hardening; and third, heating
for tempering.
Major emphasis of this research study involved the evaluation
of nutrient transport by overland flow. Samples gathered at various
distances relative to a swine-waste spray irrigation system were
used for the nutrient evaluation.
As a result of this study, the following conclusions are made:
1. It is improbable that the...
This study was undertaken as a result of an interest in the
present and future purposes and functions of higher education.
American society and higher education are moving through a period
of change. Since each shapes and is shaped by the other, change in
either may require a review and...
Chiropractic treatment is used to reduce stiffness and pain. While more thoroughly studied in humans, it has been shown to be effective in horses, but relatively little evidence exists to quantify the benefits. To address this shortcoming, four methods were used to assess the effects of chiropractic treatment in horses...
In the area surrounding Clarno, Oregon, pre-Cretaceous metamorphics, Cretaceous marine sediments, and a varied assemblage of Tertiary volcanic rocks are known. The oldest exposures are of an homogeneously fine-grained, mildly metamorphosed, limy shale to which the term "Muddy Ranch phyllite" is applied. Non-metamorphosed, Cretaceous marine shales and graywackes, approximately 1500...

Automating pick-and-place operations for large steel castings in a foundry is challenging, particularly from a perception point of view. Accurately estimating the identity and orientation of a given part is an open and complex problem, especially if that part sits in a bin of very similar parts. The problem is...
Affecting an estimated 1.7 million people annually, traumatic brain injury has been labeled a major public health threat. As the leading cause of death and disability in young people, and the signature wound of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the issue is drawing increased media attention. Analyses begin by...
Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) is the sole member of the idaeovirus genus of plant viruses. It is a pollen-borne virus that economically impacts both red and black raspberries worldwide. Three strains of the bipartite RBDV have been reported. The common strain found in North America, South America, Australia, New...
