A method by which barrier heights in potential functions
hindering internal rotation in organic molecules can be obtained solely
from thermal data for the solid phase is studied. The observed
heat capacities are analyzed in terms of contributions from the lattice
vibrations, the intramolecular vibrations, the expansion of the lattice,...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the memory factors
associated with preschoolers' performance in a two-choice, uncertain
outcome decision situation. Choice behavior was examined under
two conditions: one, (NMA), in which the child was required to
rely on his memory to establish an appropriate prediction of the
occurrence...

This analysis concerns the life and scientific work of Henry
Augustus Rowland (1848-1901), organizer and the first chairman of
the physics department at The Johns Hopkins University in 1876.
Special materials used in this research included three pieces of
Rowland's experimental apparatus which are extant in the Smithsonian
Institution Division...
The Euler-MacLaurin sum formula has appeared in the titles
of two quite recent papers whose authors were primarily interested
in certain applications. In this paper a somewhat different approach
to the myriad of formulas for summation, integration, differentiation,
etc. , is based on the simple identity which defines the set...
An aspect of the metabolism of monoalkylhydrazines has been
investigated using both intact rats and rat liver microsomal enzyme
preparations.
Intact rats respired propane and n-butane on administration of 0.3-0.5 mmoles of isopropyl- and n-butylhydrazine, respectively.
Based upon dose administered, a five to ten percent
yield of hydrocarbon was obtained....
The purpose of this study was to assess changes in attitudes
toward behavioral understanding, marital role expectations, and self
concept in a selected group of high school girls. These subjects
were enrolled in a one semester child development course which
included observation and participation experiences with young children.
The subjects...
Three viruses were isolated from dahlias using a modification of
Yarwood's leaf-disc method of inoculation. Two of these isolates have
been reported previously in dahlias. In addition, a fourth virus was
isolated using a liquid-nitrogen transmission technique.
Dahlia virus isolate 1 possessed host range and thermal inactivation
properties similar to...
This analysis is the study of Oregon's wildlife resources from
the period prior to white settlement up to the present time, including
critical projections, based on present trends and expected conditions
for both human and wildlife populations in the state up to the year 2010.
Prior to white settlement Oregon...
The purpose of this study was to assess change in self concept,
marital role expectation, and behavioral understanding in high
school students enrolled in a family life course.
The subjects were two groups of high school students from an
only senior high school in a school district. The experimental group...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between
physiological maturation and the intrapersonal relations of adolescent
girls. The Interpersonal Check List provided the measure of
self concept and ideal self concept for each subject.
Subjects were 48 early-maturing and 48 late-maturing girls
representing the four levels of...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship
between specific mother-child interactions and selected aspects of
language development in "disadvantaged" children.
The subjects were 19 preschool children in a summer Head
Start program in Denver, Colorado. Their ages ranged from four
years-nine months to five years-seven months. Eighteen...
Purpose of the Study The purpose of this study is to determine the direction of the
emerging role of the teacher aide in Oregon Public Schools and to
make recommendations on the basis of the findings of this study.
Securing and Treating Data
The data for this study were obtained...
The presence in rat liver microsomes of an enzyme system
which demethylates N-methylhydrazines and azo compounds to formaldehyde
has been reported. Some of the compounds found to be
substrates were monomethylhydrazine, N-isopropyl-α-(2-methylhydrazino)-
p-toluamide and the azo derivative of the latter hydrazine. This
enzyme can be classified as a mixed function...
Samples of benthic organisms off the coast of Oregon, taken
from depths varying from 50 to 2900 meters, have been analyzed in
terms of diversity at a given station, and similarity and ecological
distance to other stations. Estimates of epifauna abundance were
also made. In the analysis an important distinction...
This paper develops an equation, from an heuristic set of assumptions,
which describes the axial current, leakage current, resultant
electric field, and resultant earth potential occurring when
a pipeline buried within a resistive earth is subjected to a distributed,
primary, axial, electrostatic field produced from a high-voltage, direct-current (HVDC) power...
The purposes of this investigation were twofold:
1. To determine important criteria for making a selection of
course content in general biology.
2. To ascertain what should be the content emphasis in
biology for the purposes of general education at the freshman
college level.
The literature pertinent to the problem...
One of the most beautiful and geologically interesting parts of the Oregon coast is in the vicinity of Cape Arago near Charleston, 10 miles west of Coos Bay. Three very fine state parks have been developed here. They are (from north to south): Sunset Bay, Shore Acres, and Cape Arago...
This study was to develop a home economics curriculum at
second cycle (senior high school) level for Phutho Polytechnic School.
In order to do this, it was necessary to answer the following
questions:
1. What are the purposes of education today?
2. What is teaching?
3. What is learning?
4....
The purposes of the study were to explore the possibility of
relationships existing among clothing behavior, attitudes toward
certain clothing standards, interest in clothes, religious orthodoxy,
and conformity among a group of Seventh-day Adventist college girls;
and to determine whether or not factors of socio-economic level,
type of secondary education...
The purpose of this problem was to compare young, middle-aged, and older women's attitudes concerning clothing, and to see
what influence the husband's position and income had on the clothing
attitudes of the wife.
The problem dealt with five specific aspects of women's dress:
(1) appropriate dress, (2) impressing others,...
Rat luteal cells from functional and non-functional
corpora lutea (corpora lutea rendered non-functional by
hypophysectomy) were preserved for light and electron
microscopy in Bouin's and glutaraldehyde-osmium fixation
respectively. Material for electron microscopy was dehydrated
with ethanol, embedded in Araldite and stained
with lead hydroxide or uranyl acetate-lead citrate. Examination
of...
Survival and growth during three years at 8 out-planting areas are reported for Douglas-fir from 14 sources of seed. Early survival was highest near Nimpkish on Vancouver Island. At most plantations, trees from the local seed source grew as well as did those from the best three sources. Trees from...
The choice of clothing for children is probably one of the most widely neglected responsibilities of parents and other adults. Generally, it becomes so much a part of everyday living that not very serious thought is given to the impression clothing makes on growing boys and girls. It is surprising...
