The importance of role-taking skills in the social development of
children has been well documented. Further, it has been shown that
children's development of role-taking skills is dependent upon the
quantity and quality of social interactions which require the
consideration of alternative perspectives. Given recent evidence of
the importance of...

Crops were grown using accepted cultural practices within the limits of experimentation or trials were conducted on growers' fields, Most experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with two to five replications. Herbicide treatments were applied uniformly with equipment ranging from precision plot sprayers to quart jars (granular applications). Unless...
Long‐period and broadband body waves from 14 digital seismic stations are used to investigate the rupture process of the December 7, 1988 earthquake near Spitak, Armenia, USSR. The inversion of these data gives the following centroidal source parameters: strike 299°, dip 64°, rake 151°, depth 6.3 km and seismic moment...
Seasonal cycles of coastal wind stress, adjusted sea level (ASL), shelf currents, and water
temperatures off the west coast of North America (35°N to 48°N) are estimated by fitting annual and
semiannual harmonics to data from 1981-1983. Longer records (9-34 years) of monthly ASL indicate
that these two harmonics adequately...
Field and laboratory studies were conducted on volcanic ash from Yakima, Moses Lake, Spokane, Washington, and Moscow, Idaho, three weeks after the May 18, 1980, eruption of Mt. St. Helens in southwestern Washington. These studies examined 1) the chemical, physical, and water retentivity properties of the ash, 2) the effect...
Horticultural therapy is the use of plants and plant-related activities as an adjunct therapy assisting medical, psychological and other rehabilitative therapies in the improvement of physical and mental health. Although long associated with having a beneficial effect upon people characterized as mentally ill, mentally deficient, socially maladapted and physically disabled,...
Apoplastic distribution patterns of atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-
6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine], glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)-
glycine], the naturally occurring apoplastic leaf solutes, and
the apoplastic dye PTS (trisodium 3-hydroxy-5,8,10-pyrenetrisulfonate)
were compared. Aliquots of sap were expressed from intact
sunflower leaves in a pressure chamber over intervals of 0.2 to 0.4
bars. Three distinct fractions were detected...
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the
effectiveness of two smoking cessation programs -- one
group and one self-help -- which were developed and are
currently employed by the American Cancer Society.
The research was conducted in a work setting, and
all subjects were employees of the State...
Wheat endosperm morphogenesis was studied by light microscopy
during the entire growth period of anthesis to maturity. Four
developmental stages have been described in this thesis: (1) double
fertilization, (2) formation of the lower endosperm cells, (3)
termination of nuclear divisions, and (4) initiation of protein
bodies.
The first manuscript...
