The purpose of this study was to assess reactions to and
opinions about color and color performance by women ages 45 to 54
years. Hypotheses were developed to test relationships and differences
between both perception and acceptance of color change and:
1) the three primary colors, 2) the two methods...
This thesis is a study of the clothing behavior of disadvantaged
adolescents in a rural community as it relates to the factors of social class, security level, peer acceptance and self-selection of clothing.
This study was selected because very little research in clothing
behavior has been done in disadvantaged rural...
Calcium concentration and its regulation was examined in
tissues of larval Rana catesbiana. Considerable variability was
found in tissue calcium that could not be explained by stage of development.
A seasonal effect was observed, with plasma calcium decreasing
and muscle calcium increasing during winter. Total plasma
calcium concentration reflects, within...
One group of four adult White Leghorn male chickens was fed a
diet containing 7.3% linoleic acid and 32.4 mg/ kg of added vitamin E
(group IV) for 50 weeks which was designated as the positive control.
A second lot (group I) containing 14 males received the same level of...

The purpose of this study was to determine the readability of three
series of selected fourth, fifth and sixth grade social studies textbooks,
a total of nine textbooks. Two measurements were utilized: a readability

Crossmatings were accomplished among three semi-closed lines within a population of pigs, for the purpose of investigating effects of crossbreeding on reproductive traits. Two of the lines were purebred (Berkshire and Yorkshire); the third line ("Composite") consisted of descendants from inter se matings among offspring of crosses of the Berkshire...
In situ light and dark planktonic and benthal respirometers were
used to measure the oxygen requirements of Yaquina estuary water
and benthal deposits. Respirometer devices were constructed so that
actual conditions of mixing could be simulated and benthal deposit
disturbance would be minimized.
A mathematical model of a benthal respirometer...
