The finite element solution of certain two-point boundary value problems is discussed. In order to obtain more accuracy than the linear finite element method can give, an order-h[superscript 4] global superconvergence ...

Dielectric relaxation studies of a number of diaryl molecules dispersed in atactic polystyrene and in some cases as solid discs have been carried out. Preparation of the polystyrene matrices and the solid disks, and the ...

The pyrolysis of jack pine bark, jack pine sawdust, and cellulose powder has been studied by thermogravimetric (TG), and isothermal weight-loss methods in both inert and oxidizing atmospheres. The effects of particle ...

Thirty nine species and subspecies of ants were collected from the Thunder Bay District of Ontario, Canada, in the summer of 1970. Extensions of known range were recorded for Leptothorax poss. texanus, Camponotus ...

In the past maximum aerobic power tests have been the standard means for measuring the trained state. Recent literature, however, states that the ability to work aerobically at a high percentage of one's maximum aerobic ...

This thesis is concerned with the preliminary studies in the synthesis of a monoterpenoid alkaloid, chaksine. Diethyl methylmalonate was alkylated with 1,3-dibromo propane to give 2-(3-bromopropyl)-2-methylmalonate. ...

The catalytic decomposition of 2-propanol has been investigated in a flow system from 200-300°C on vanadium pentoxide and modified vanadium pentoxide catalysts. Dehydration, dehydrogenation and propane formation were ...
