The development of new electronic devices and design procedures
applicable to ternary switching circuits suggests that it might be desirable
to use ternary arithmetic in direct digital control systems.
The advantages of decimal, binary, and ternary arithmetic in digital
computers are discussed and a set of rules for signed -digit...
More than 4,000 specimens of fruits and seeds were extracted
from the matrix removed from inside the skulls of sabre-tooth cats
excavated from various pits in the Rancho La Brea deposits. Of this
number, spproximately 1,445 specimens are involved in this study.
Many comparisons with modern fruits and seeds made...
With the advancing solid-state technology, it is necessary to
develop new techniques for synthesizing digital networks. The regular
pattern of cellular circuits seems to be the best fitted for the new LSI
technology. Recently, cellular implementations of comibinational circuits
have received considerable attention but very little attention has
been given...
Both red (Trifolium pratense L.) and white (Trifolium repens L.) clover
seed yields can be highly variable and low in western Oregon. The objectives of
this study were to: i) determine crop water requirements and supplemental
irrigation timing, and ii) quantify the effects of soil and water status on
inflorescence...
Shattering is a natural phenomenon of floret and spikelet disarticulation across
abscission layers of the pedicel and rachilla, respectively, after seed maturation. Seed
shattering in cool-season grasses and native grass species is an economic problem in seed
production.
This study was conducted to determine whether the use of the plant...
The objective of this study was to compare the total collection
(in vivo), nylon bag, and in vitro digestibility techniques under
standardized conditions. Twin steers were used simultaneously to
measure the digestibility of five rations consisting of the following
ratios of alfalfa hay to steamed roller barley: 4:0 (I), 3:1...
The effects of different fallow moisture levels and tillage
systems on the amount of nitrate-nitrogen accumulation in the 0-30 cm
soil profile were studied.
Fallow moisture treatments simulating typical dry, normal and
wet precipitation cycles were established on trial plots.
Data were obtained for nitrate-nitrogen, soil moisture and
nitrogen mineralization...
Great Basin Canada goose (Branta canadensis moffitti) productivity and nesting habitat utilization were studied on the Columbia River within the boundaries of the Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge during the springs of 1974 and 1975.
Five islands, BL-1, BL-2, SD-1, SD-2, and Telegraph Island (TI), contained 88 percent of the nesting...
