Carbon 1s photoelectron asymmetry parameters β for the chlorinated and the methyl carbon atom of CH₃CH₂Cl, CH₃CHCl₂, and CH₃CCl₃ have been measured using synchrotron radiation in the 340-600 eV energy range. We provide experimental evidence that the intramolecular scattering strongly affects beta values, even far from the ionization threshold. The...
We report an experimental and theoretical study of single-molecule inner-shell photoemission measured over an extended range of photon energies. The vibrational intensity ratios I (nu = 1)/I (nu = 0) from the C 1s photoelectron spectra of carbon monoxide, although mostly determined by the bond length change upon ionization, are...
X-ray photoemission spectroscopy is used in a great variety of research fields; one observable is the sample's stoichiometry. The stoichiometry can be deduced based on the expectation that the ionization cross sections for innershell orbitals are independent of the molecular composition. Here we used chlorine-substituted ethanes in the gas phase...
Incubation experiments with an acid poorly drained soil have
shown that the application of neutral soluble salts influenced the level
of extractable Mn. The application of a salt which lowered the soil
pH either increased the extractable Mn or retarded the oxidation
and/or fixation of extractable Mn. This effect was...
Bush beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), carrots (Daucus carota L.), and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) were grown for 3 years on soils amended with S or lime and N fertilizer. Yields of all crops increased with lime application but response to N varied among crops and years. Lettuce head weight tended...
Experiments at the North Willamette Experiment Station have evaluated response of vegetables to lime and other fertilizers since 1970. The soils are moderately acid (pH 5.4 to 5.6), high in P, and better drained than most soils used for vegetable crop production in western Oregon. Typical soil acidity problems such...
Abstract: Relationships between tree traits and tree value for lumber production were investigated. For the purposes of
estimating relative economic weights for use in multitrait selection in coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii
(Mirb.) Franco var. menziesii), tree height, diameter at breast height, and branch diameter were measured on 164 trees
(ages...
Our primary purpose in developing this instrument is to measure
vertical temperature fluctuations in the ocean to the smallest scales at
which they exist. This goal dictates the basic concept of the instrument,
as C. S. Cox saw in the 1960's. Vertical temperature changes are seen
as changes with time...
