Plasma vitamin B₁₂ concentrations of 16 elderly women were
measured using the growth response of the microorganism, Ochromonas
malhamensis. The method required major modifications which
are described in detail. All women had plasma concentrations of
vitamin B₁₂ above the normal minimum of 200 pg/ml despite the fact
that the diets...
A major problem of this study was to assess a model for predicting attitudes and behavior of vocational teacher trainees toward handicapped learners. A second problem was to determine whether or not both attitudes and behavior of vocational teacher trainees toward handicapped learners could be changed. The sample for this...
A procedure is described for analyzing the nitrogen content of
durable press cotton fabric at the rate of 20 samples per hour using
the Technicon Kjeldahl Auto Analyzer equipped with a continuous
digestor. This method was as good as or better than conventional
micro -Kjeldahl technique s.
Durable press cotton...
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...
A Willamette sandy shot loam was treated with ZnC1₂, CdC1₂, or sewage sludge to determine the chemical fate of added Cd and Zn in the soil and their influence on the growth of corn and wheat seedlings. Cadmium was added as CdC1₂ at rates of 0, 5, 20, or 80...
An experimental study was conducted with beginning typewriting
students to investigate the effects of two variables in proofreading
straight copy paragraph materials in the independent method of
proofreading. One was the influence of repetition which was examined
through the use of three different methods of reading. The second
was the...
