Critical Evaluation Of The Pulsed-Current Resistance Meter For Detection Of Decay In Wood, Douglas D. Piirto, W. Wayne Wilcox

Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences

An evaluation of a pulsed-current resistance meter ("Shigometer®", Model No. 7950) for facilitating detection of decay was performed on wood blocks of giant sequoia heartwood and of white fir sapwood. As decay progressed over a 12-week incubation period, a trend of lower meter readings was obtained, confirming reported field measurements of other workers. Variability in meter readings in situations where the range in resistance readings between sound and decayed wood is narrow (e.g., giant sequoia heartwood) and apparent inability of the meter to make readings necessary to diagnose decay at MCs common to wood in service without ground or water …

A New Marlin, Makaira Panamensis, From The Late Miocene Of Panama, Harry L. Fierstine

Biological Sciences

Makaira panamensis new sp. is described from a single neurocranium found in the Chagres Sandstone (Late Miocene) of the Atlantic coast of Panama. The new species is closely related to and possibly ancestral to the extant M. indica (black marlin) and M. nigricans (blue marlin). It differs from both by possessing a triangular rather than elongate basioccipital foramen, large nutrient canals in the rostrum and probably a more elongate orbit. The fossil is compared to all known fossil Istiophorids as well as to the living marlins. It is suggested that the black marlin is a more recent derivative (than the …

Electronic Fuel Injection Techniques For Hydrogen Fueled Internal Combustion Engines, Carl Arthur Maccarley

Electrical Engineering

Numerous studies have demonstrated the advantages of hydrogen as a fuel for Otto Cycle engines due to high thermal efficiency and low exhaust pollutant levels. Characteristic of hydrogen engine operation using pre-mixed intake charge formation is a problem of pre-ignition resulting in an intake manifold "backfire." Additional problems include high NO production when using certain equivalence ratios and power output degradation due to low fuel energy/volume density.

Techniques for direct and manifold fuel injection are discussed as means for overcoming these problems. Emphasis is placed on the need for total engine control, integrating control of fuel injection, ignition timing, intake …

A Revision Of Pectis Section Pectothrix (Compositae: Tageteae), David J. Keil

Biological Sciences

Pectis L. sect. Pectothrix A. Gray (Compositae: Tageteae) comprises a group of showy, yellow-headed species which occurs mainly in the arid and semi-arid portions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Although several regional floras have included one or more of the species in this group, no workers since Fernald (1897) and Rydberg (1916) have attempted to treat this portion of genus in its entirety. Since 1916, several workers have described new taxa (Cory, 1927; Johnston, 1940; Wiggins, 1951; Keil, 1974), and many new collections have been made. Recent studies (Keil, 1974) have suggested that the species relationships proposed …

1978 El Rodeo, California Polytechnic State University - San Luis Obispo

El Rodeo Yearbook

El Rodeo, the Cal Poly yearbook, was published annually by the Associated Students. Many of the volumes featured a theme. The collection contains volumes from 1927 to 1980. Publication was suspended between 1943-1945 (during World War II) and between 1972-1976. El Rodeo was published one last time in 1990.
