Previous attempts to understand the factors affecting the energetic cost of locomotion have found a direct link between the energetic cost and the mechanical work done during periods when the limb is in contact with the ground. However, when the limb is not in contact with the ground during the...
Previous research had identified four serogroups of Rhizobium trifolii
indigenous to Abiqua soil (fine, mixed, mesic, Cumulic Ultic Haploxerolls).
Nodulation of subterranean clover (Trifolium, subterraneum L.) by two of the
serogroups, 6 and 36, was influenced by the application of CaC0₃ to the soil.
The studies described in this thesis...
This work furthers the understanding of processes occurring in catchments that affect stream nitrate concentrations using two different approaches: a temporally intensive case study of three headwater catchments with varying land use (through storm event monitoring) and a spatially intensive study on the regional scale (through statistical modeling) of 1st-4th...
Problem: The primary purpose of this study was to investigate interactions
between learner characteristics and instructional settings and their
affect on retention of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR.) competency..
An effort was made to determine if college students identified as
Independent or Dependent-Conforming learners interacted with traditional
or self-instructional CPR educational modes....
