Higher order finite difference methods are discussed with respect to speed and accuracy when used in the solution of elliptic partial differential equations. Although fast direct methods for solving elliptic ...

This Thesis discusses the triangular finite element solution to second order elliptic boundary value problems. The Barycentric Coordinate system, which some engineers call the areal coordinate system, is used throughout ...

The main purpose of this thesis is to give a characterization of nth order linear homogeneous differential equations that can be transformed into constant coefficient differential equations. The characterization given ...

It has been determined that carpet-forming mosses are good indicators of heavy metal deposition, since they are dependent on their supply of nutrients from above rather than from the substrate. Samples of the common ...

The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship of flexibility, strength and anthropometric measurements of the lower limbs to the skating speed of hockey players. Seventeen university varsity hockey players ...

This thesis is concerned with the preliminary studies in the synthesis of a monoterpenoid alkaloid, chaksine, Ethyl 2-methylcyclohexanone-6-carboxylate (XI) was hydroxymethylated with formaldehyde to give Ethyl 2-me ...

The use of shallow single and double impurity ion implants as diffusion sources was studied on bare (111) silicon wafers implanted at room temperature with 45 KeV boron, phosphorus and arsenic. The samples were diffused ...

Most studies of the walleye have been conducted on highly exploited populations. Savanne Lake in northwestern Ontario, and having an area of 364.29 ha, was exploited until 1969, whereupon it was designated a fish ...

Larvae of Ithycerus are described for the first time. Ten instars are identified with the possibility of more to be found. The pupa remains unknown. Spiracular air tubes and orifices show allometric growth and this, ...

Brook trout were continuously exposed to depressed pH values from 4.0 to 6.0, at 0.5 unit Intervals during a nine-month partial-chronic bloassay. At all pH levels above 4.0, Juvenile fish exhibited greater than 96 per ...
