The primary purpose of this study was the identification of
specific medicine education learning outcomes which are important
and appropriate for ambulatory, non-institutionalized older adults.
A modification of the Delphi technique was utilized and a panel
of 16 national experts was selected on the basis of four criteria to
respond...
A statistical analysis of extreme chinooks in Montana as they
relate to large scale atmospheric circulation changes is the subject
of this thesis.
A mean chinook situation was identified which indicated that a
critical pattern of the surface flow always contained a Polar or
Arctic airmass which overspread the prairie...
Intramolecular cyclization of organometallic compounds represents
a promising tool for synthesis. The reaction involves exothermic
consumption of intramolecular double bonds via insertion
into a carbon metal sigma bond. This represents an intramolecular
example of the reaction type responsible for metal catalyzed polymerization
of olefins.
Organolithium reagents were found to cyclize...
The purpose of this research is to design a high level language
(HLL) suitable for microprogramming. A top down design technique has
been adopted which makes the language design process simple and
accurate.
The primitive operations of a high level language for producing
emulators is shown to include special purpose...
The major historical studies that have examined American
biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at
the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the
descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than
important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application
of...
The purpose of this study was to determine if a significant
difference in cognitive achievement and retention occurred when skeletal
system anatomy and terminology were presented utilizing either videotaped
presentations or a traditional laboratory procedure.
Fifty-three first semester nursing students enrolled in biology
(Bio. 160 anatomy and physiology) at Lethbridge...
Purpose of the Study:
The main focus of this study was to compare the perceptions of district
superintendents, vocational administrators and trade and industrial
teachers toward vocational teacher certification procedures and
ramifications. The population consisted of 225 respondents randomly
selected from 15 states.
The following hypotheses were tested:
1. There...
Deterministic source signature deconvolution is applied to the
processing of marine wide angle and vertical profiler data with air-gun
sources. Optimum results are obtained with a source signature
measured by stacking the signal reflected from a relatively homogeneous
abyssal plain sedimentary environment. This eliminates the need for
the unstable inverse...
The use of logistic-type growth curves in the prediction of future engineering manpower utilization patterns is a viable technique. When a work environment consists of a large number of repetitive type project the use of regression analysis and Weibull curve shapes gives a reliable forecast of the time-phased utilization of...
