-
(1979)The rapid growth in size and complexity of modern power distribution systems has created a corresponding need for advancements in the field of system protection. A device incorporating the inherent intelligence of ...
-
(1982)The importance of stress concentration factors in machines and stuctures led to the development of various experimental and analytical techniques for determining them. One of these methods is the application of finite ...
-
(1982)The development of the antidote R-25788 has made it possible to use the herbicide, Eptam, in corn production. However, there have been many reported cases of safener failure in field corn treated with Eradicane. The chemical ...
-
(1991)This experiment should be sufficiently general in nature and to be applicable to a variety of specific experiments intended to study implementation issues associated with robust control theories/methodologies for systems ...
-
(1982)The mass of ¹⁶Ne has been measured by the reaction ²⁰Ne(⁴He, ⁸He) ¹⁶Ne at a beam energy of 129 MeV. The target gas of isotopically enriched ²⁰Ne (>99.5% ²⁰Ne) was contained in a gas cell with Havar windows. Reaction products ...
-
(1976)This research project represents the search for what turned out to be the ideal. It is, however, fortunate that a successful research project is not always dependent upon proving a preconceived idea or product. Perhaps the ...
-
(1979)An in vitro fermentation trial was conducted to compare nutrient disappearance and end product production of weathered and nonweathered sorghum. Grain of one line was harvested before and after the rains, cleaned and ...
-
(1985)This study involves the analysis of cattle embryo transfer and feeding as tax-sheltered investments. It includes the discussion of agricultural tax policy, tax shelter concepts, embryo transfer and cattle feeding procedures, ...
-
(1979)Three species of decapods: Callinectes sapidus, Menippe mercenaria, and Clibanarius vittatus, were examined for protozoan and metazoan symbionts. An examination for endosymbionts revealed two cysts, probably trematode ...
-
(1991)The ability to develop a fiber optic current sensor utilizing the magnetostrictive characteristics of nickel (Ni) has been proven. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer, which had a 2. 5-μm layer of Ni 15-cm long on its sensing ...
-
(1982)The effects of the mycotoxin penicillic acid on short circuited intact toad bladder and on Na⁺-K⁺, activated ATPase were examined to determine the relationship between toxin, the Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase enzyme system and associated ...
-
(1990)The type and amount of a person's dietary fatty acids have been shown to affect the tendency towards thrombogenesis. Diets which are high in polyunsaturated fats tend to reduce the risk of thrombogenesis, and long-chain ...
-
(1985)The purpose of this study is to establish objective criteria for assessing environmental education literature for preschool children. Once the criteria have been established, literature can be applied to the scale and ...
-
(1976)A classical two-dimensional, bending-torsion flutter analysis of a reference airfoil in a cascade of infinite blades is performed. The unsteady airloads on the reference airfoil are predicted using a numerical lifting ...
-
(1976)Food habits of gizzard shad, threadfin shad, and blue tilapia were studied in summer and winter, 1975. Stomach contents of all three species consisted predominantly of organic detritus, followed by green algae, blue-greens,and ...
-
(1982)Autonomy is generally diminished within society. The effects of this diminution are examined in two groups: hospitalized patients and hospital nurses. Hospitalized patients experience reduced or absent autonomy as a result ...
-
(1979)Polarization measurements of light emitted near 3889 Å from fast He atoms, resulting from near grazing collisions with an aluminum target by incident 1--9 keV He ⁺ ions are described. The polarization results were analyzed ...
-
(1979)The purpose of this paper is to study the vibration of a wire by incorporating resistance to bending into the model leading to the string equation. Included here is a derivation of a fourth order, partial differential ...
-
(1976)Pattern recognition, as used in this paper, reflects a technique of machine data analysis. In this capacity the machine receives the raw data, processes it for the purpose of separating the important features from the ...
-
(1982)It now has become necessary to educate the architect in the skill of computer acquisition. In a market such as the computer industry’s, where information three months old is considered ancient or obsolete, it is very ...
