The purpose of this study was to investigate one individual difference,
i.e., rate of response, and the effect on student performance
when teachers recognize this difference. Using disadvantaged third
grade students as subjects, three null hypotheses were formulated as
follows:
1. Slow responding accurate students' (Group LH) scores will
show...
Sustainable management of the world’s forests is a key component for conserving biodiversity, soil and water resources, mitigating climate change, strengthening economies, and promoting sustainable communities and human well-being, now and in the future. While international cooperation is important, the actual policies and management actions that affect forest conditions and...
Solid municipal waste was applied to Sagehill sand at rates of
0, 100, 200, and 400 tons/acre (0, 67, 133, and 267 tons dry matter).
Sewage sludge (2% solids) was applied at 55 gallons per ton of solid
waste. Hyslop winter wheat was planted as a cover crop in October...
Although assays have been done on the effects of vitamin E alpha-tocopherol (ɑ-tocopherol) on the lifespan of wildtype C. elegans, none have been done on the effects of the vitamin on mutant strains with mitochondrial mutations. By using a mev-1 genetic mutant strain of C. elegans with higher levels of...
Though previous genetic research studies performed on Caenorhabditis elegans
found that high levels of endogenous oxidative stress resulted in decreased health, and
that mitochondrial DNA deletions accumulated with age in these organisms, no studies
have been conducted to link these two separate findings. This study correlated these
separate results by...
