The purpose of this study was to test two assumptions. They
are that factors in a child's background correlate with the notion of
conservation and that additional mathematical instruction will result
in a higher level of maturity of the notion of conservation as well as
increased achievement in mathematical skills....
The effects of mold level (Botrytis cinerea), processing method (fresh, individually quick frozen (IQF), frozen sugared sliced (FSS), freeze dried (FD), canned, and preserves), and maturity (underripe, normal, and overripe) and strawberry volatiles were analyzed by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) using on-column entrainment of headspace volatiles in aqueous extracts. Computerized...
The purpose of this investigation was to identify sources of
influence on one major growth trend for college students: the development
of autonomy. Specifically, the study focused on whether
change in autonomy in college freshmen was related to the background
of the students, their associations with peers, their contacts with...
A study was conducted to determine the mineralogy and chemical
properties of "Ando-like" western Oregon soils. The samples
were collected from 13 sites which formed mainly from basaltic
rocks, a contact metamorphic rock, sedimentary rocks, and
alluvium derived from sedimentary rock and from volcanic rock. All
samples contained small amounts...
The purpose of this research was directed toward an examination
of personnel resources in vocational education. More particularly,
the study attempted to determine contributions made by personnel,
to assess the procedures and processes utilized in making
these contributions, and to identify strengths that need to be developed

could not itself remain unaffected. In the second half of
the nineteenth century, the subject of evolution was as
much a religious as a scientific issue. The battle line
was drawn and...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not significant
differences exist between three student groups and one faculty
group at Oregon Technical Institute with reference to their perception
of the college environment. The gauge used to assess perception of
the college environment was the College and University...
