The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of family size, birth order,
socioeconomic status, and parent-child relationships to young children's intellectual
development.
Seventy-four children, 39 boys and 35 girls, with a mean age of 4 years-8 months,
and their parents (mothers and fathers), selected from 9 preschool...
Statistical analyses were used to develop predictive
models of rice blast and to relate the favorability of
environment to disease incidence and severity on different
rice cultivars at five sites in Asia. The WINDOW PANE
program was used to search for weather factors highly
correlated with blast. Stepwise and r-square...
Sampling error associated with estimates of species composition and age composition
of commercial groundfish landings in Oregon from 1989 to 1991 is documented to evaluate
the impact of variable landing data on fisheries management and monitoring programs. The
statistical reliability and bias associated with two multistage sampling designs are
investigated...
Mechanical behavior of Nb-Ti superconducting composites with copper matrices have
been studied experimentally and theoretically.
Experimental work includes extensive measurements of Cu/Nb-Ti composite system.
Techniques for fine fiber testing and composite wire measurement have been developed.
Experimental parameters examined in this research include geometry, hardness, Young's
modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield...
