Asymptotic Functions As Kernels Of The Schwartz Distributions, Todor D. Todorov Jan 1985

Asymptotic Functions As Kernels Of The Schwartz Distributions, Todor D. Todorov

Mathematics

Using a version of the sequential method we introduce a class of generalized functions called here "asymptotic functions''. This class contains kernels of all Schwartz distributions and is equipped with a correctly defined multiplication operation. So, in a sense, one solves the problem of "multiplication of Schwartz distributions" although the solution refers to the class of the asymptotic functions and not to the Schwartz distributions themselves. The paper is a continuation of a series of works [1-10] but here only part of the results of [5], [6] and [8] will be needed.

The Fate Of Diazinon Applied To Thatched Turf, B. E. Branham, David J. Wehner Jan 1985

The Fate Of Diazinon Applied To Thatched Turf, B. E. Branham, David J. Wehner

Office of the Dean (CAFES) Scholarship

Diazinon (0,0-diethyl-0-(2-isopropyl-6-methyl-4-primidinyl) phosphorothioate) is widely used to control turfgrass insect pests. Poor control of soil-inhabiting insects has been found where diazinon has been applied to thatched turfgrass stands. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the environmental fate of diazinon applied to turfgrass stands. A microecosystem was used to follow the fate of radiolabeled diazinon surface applied to Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) turfs, with or without a thatch layer, growing on Flanigan silt loam (fine, montmorillonitic, mesic Aquic Argiudoll) irrigated daily or every 4 days. Loss of diazinon by volatilization, leaching, and degradation accompanied by release of …

On The Notion Of Precohomology, Goro Kato Jan 1985

On The Notion Of Precohomology, Goro Kato

Mathematics

ABSTRACT. For a cochain complex one can have the cohomology functor. In this paper we introduce the notion of precohomology for a cochain that is not a complex, i. e., dq+1 o dq may not be zero. Such a cochain, with objects and morphisms of an abelian category A, is called a cochain precomplex whose category is denoted by Pco (A). If a cochain precomplex is actually a cochain complex, then the notion of precohomology coincides with that of cohomology, i. e., precohomology is a gene¬ralization of cohomology. For a left exact functor F from an abelian category …

The Products Δn2(X), Δ(X). X-N, ϴ(X). X-N, Etc. In The Class Of The Asymptotic Functions, Todor D. Todorov Jan 1985

The Products Δn2(X), Δ(X). X-N, ϴ(X). X-N, Etc. In The Class Of The Asymptotic Functions, Todor D. Todorov

Mathematics

Several products like δn(x), δ(x)ϴ(x), δ(m)(x). X-n, ϴ(x). X-n, etc., where δ(x), ϴ(x), X-n, etc., are kernels of the corresponding Schwartz distributions, are studied in the framework of the class of the asymptotic functions F0 introduced in a previous paper [11]. In some particular cases many formulae are derived and several examples are presented. The work is of mathematical type but its motivations lie in some problems in quantum theory. It is closely …


Soil-Saprolite Profiles Derived From Mafic Rocks In The North Carolina Piedmont: I. Chemical, Morphological, And Mineralogical Characteristics And Transformations, T. J. Rice, S. W. Buol, S. B. Weed Jan 1985

Soil-Saprolite Profiles Derived From Mafic Rocks In The North Carolina Piedmont: I. Chemical, Morphological, And Mineralogical Characteristics And Transformations, T. J. Rice, S. W. Buol, S. B. Weed

Earth and Soil Sciences

The chemical, morphological and mineralogical properties of two Enon sandy loam (fine, mixed, thermic Ultic Hapludalfs) soilsaprolite profiles, one formed on gabbro and the other on metagabbro, are compared. Clay skins are scarce and stress cutans common in the argillic horizons of these soils. Iron-manganese concretions are concentrated in soil horizons immediately above the argillic horizons. The high shrink-swell capacities and slow permeabilities of the argillic horizons result in relatively shallow depths to paralithic contact with saprolite. The parent rock from the Enon profile near Albemarle, Stanly County, North Carolina is a medium-grained metagabbro with chlorite, hornblende, quartz, and calcic …


Soil-Saprolite Profiles Derived From Mafic Rocks In The North Carolina Piedmont: Ii. Association Of Free Iron Oxides With Soils And Clays, T. J. Rice, S. B. Weed, S. W. Buol Jan 1985

Soil-Saprolite Profiles Derived From Mafic Rocks In The North Carolina Piedmont: Ii. Association Of Free Iron Oxides With Soils And Clays, T. J. Rice, S. B. Weed, S. W. Buol

Earth and Soil Sciences

The association of free Fe oxides with soils and clays from two Enon sandy loam (Ultic Hapludalfs, fine, mixed, thermic) soilsaprolite profiles was studied. Goethite was the dominant Fe oxide identified. Lepidocrocite was detected in trace amounts in some samples. FeCBD/clay ratios were highest in the epipedons of these soils suggesting the concentrating of Fe oxides as a result of aluminosilicate mineral weathering. External (BET-N2) surface area measurements of non-deferrated and deferrated clays were analyzed in conjunction with electron micrographs of selected clay fractions to determine the association of free Fe oxides with aluminosilicate clays as a function of depth …


Pulsatile Administration Of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone To Anestrous Sows: Endocrine Changes Associated With Gnrh-Induced And Spontaneous Estrus, Jeffrey D. Armstrong, J. H. Britt Jan 1985

Pulsatile Administration Of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone To Anestrous Sows: Endocrine Changes Associated With Gnrh-Induced And Spontaneous Estrus, Jeffrey D. Armstrong, J. H. Britt

Office of the President Scholarship

This experiment determined whether pulsatile administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) would induce estrus and ovulation in seasonally anestrous primiparous sows and compared endocrine responses of GnRH-induced sows with those of primiparous sows that exhibited spontaneous estrus after weaning. Seventeen primiparous Landrace X Large White sows farroed in August 1982, lactated 23.8 ± 0.4 days (mean ± SEM), and weaned 9.0 ± 0.3 pigs per litter. Blood for determination of progesterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol-17β (E) was collected every 6 h from 1 day before to 12 days after weaning. Twelve sows exhibited spontaneous estrus 135 ± 9 h …

The alleged limits of verification techniques have been used to justify lack of action at the negotiating table, but advances in computer science and optics should help dispel doubts about the verifiability of treaties


Microaerobic Conditions Are Required For Magnetite Formation Within Aquaspirillum Magnetotacticum, R. P. Blakemore, K. A. Short, D. A. Bazylinski, Charles Rosenblatt, Richard B. Frankel Jan 1985

Microaerobic Conditions Are Required For Magnetite Formation Within Aquaspirillum Magnetotacticum, R. P. Blakemore, K. A. Short, D. A. Bazylinski, Charles Rosenblatt, Richard B. Frankel

Physics

The amount of magnetite (Fe3O4) within magnetosomes of the microaerophilic bacterium Aquaspirillum magnetotacticum varies with oxygen and nitrogen supply. The development of optical methods for directly measuring cell magnetism in culture samples has enabled us to quantitate bacterial Fe3O4 yields. We measured final cell yields, average cell magnetic moments, and magnetosome yields of growing cells. Cultures were grown with NO3-, NH4+, or both, in sealed, unshaken vials with initial headspace Po2 values ranging from 0 (trace) to 21 kPa.

More than 50% of cells had detectable …

Guarding Of Table Saws With Light Beams: The Light Guard Concept, R. A. Cavaletto, M. S. Kaminaka, C. M. Zahner

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

This paper describes a unique type of psychological safety guard for hazardous tools such as table saws, presses. and other tools with areas and components which are dangerous to human fingers, hands, and limbs. It is not a piece of hardware but rather a shalt of light which defines a danger zone around the saw blade or cutting area.
