The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of trained hearing peer
tutors on the physical activity levels of deaf students in integrated elementary
physical education classes. This study utilized a single subject multiple
baseline design across subjects.
Eight deaf 4th and 5th grade students and eight hearing...
The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of eight
anthropometric regression equations with hydrostatic weighing for
predicting the percent body fat of adult males with Down Syndrome
(DS). Body fat percentages were predicted for 18 adult males with DS.
Skinfold, circumference, and bioelectric impedance analysis data were...
This study was designed to assess the relationship of selected
factors to the developmental outcome of fundamental motor
skill performance in young children ages 3 to 6 years residing
in foster or adoptive care, and have a documented history of
prenatal exposure to cocaine and other drugs. Using an
ecological...
This retrospective study investigated the incidence, characteristics, and
risk factors of bone fracture among a group of 518 adults with severe mental
retardation between 25 and 75 years old. Data were collected from a large state
developmental center in the Western United States between April 1, 1991 and
March 31,...
Multiparadigm languages are languages that are designed to support more than one style of programming. Leda is a strongly-typed multiparadigm programming language that supports imperative, functional, object-oriented, and logic programming. The constraint programming paradigm is a declarative style of programming where the programmer is able to state relationships among some...
The control of feral goats (Capra hircus) and relevant aspects of their biology were studied on Aldabra Atoll, Republic of Seychelles, from October 1993 - May 1994 and November 1994 - May 1995. A total of 832 goats were killed on Aldabra using both the Judas goat technique and traditional...
This study describes the composition of forest landscapes surrounding
northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) nests in the central Cascade
Mountains of Oregon. I compared forest composition around 126 owl nests in 70 pair
territories with forest composition around 119 points drawn randomly from all
terrestrial cover-types, and around 104...
Mosquito-borne pathogens are the cause of important, often deadly diseases
worldwide; and, use of repellents is one of the components of mosquito control programs.
The most effective mosquito repellent is N,N-dimethyl-m-toluamide, known as DEET.
Speculation on the adverse effects of DEET have been on the rise since the 1980s, and...
This study investigated the effect of plant surface
area (plant density) on the efficiency of organic carbon
removal in a bench-scale constructed wetland.
Constructed wetlands are commonly assumed to be biofilm
reactors in which organic carbon removal occurs primarily
through sedimentation and aerobic degradation by attached
microbial biofilms. In conventional...
