The study resulted from a desire and interest to include computer
simulation techniques in the design of educational practices.
The purposes of the study were (1) to develop a computer model which
would simulate the service functions of a counseling center by tracing
students through the center and (2) to...
Currently, little work has been performed studying energy consumption in hop kilning. This thesis explores drying with an alternative drying schedule that extends the initially elevated drying temperature currently used by growers and examines its impact on drying time and energy use. Extending the time of the initially elevated drying...
A field study was conducted in 1978 and 1979 at the Hyslop Crop
Science Field Laboratory near Corvallis, Oregon, to determine the optimum
capsule harvest date of Papaver bracteatum Lind. for thebaine yield
and oil yield, while maintaining an acceptable percentage of seed germination.
Accessions PI 383309 and PI 381607...
Gynoecious inbred lines of cucumbers (Cucumis sativus
L.) with high (HF), medium (MF) and low (LF) percentage of
gynoecious plants were used in crosses with monoecious
Chinese cultivars with high (HN), medium (MN) and low (LN)
percentage of nodes with female flowers. F₁ and F₂ progenies
from these parents crossed...
Supervolcanic eruptions are among the most catastrophic phenomena on Earth,
erupting 100s-1000s of cubic kilometers of magma, and producing devastating local effects and global climate perturbations. The largest supervolcanic eruption of the last 28 Ma was the 74 ka Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT) eruption from Sumatra, Indonesia, which erupted 2,800...
This investigation was undertaken to determine 1) the effects
of various carbon sources in defined media on pectolytic enzyme production,
2) the effect of the incubation period on pectolytic enzyme
activity, and 3) the development of improved methods for the purification
and characterization of the polygalacturonases (PG) produced
by Fusarium...
