Hypothesis tests are developed for the exertion of
market power by the Japanese government in the world and
domestic wheat markets. The results indicate that the
Japanese government is pursuing a more restrictive import
policy for wheat than would be indicated by an optimal
tariff strategy. Results also indicate that...
The middle Eocene Tillamook Volcanics form the oldest rock unit in the Elsie-lower Nehalem River area. K-Ar age determinations and age constraints imposed by foraminiferal and calcareous nannofossil assemblages of overlying sedimentary strata indicate an absolute age of about 42 Ma for the uppermost Tillamook Volcanics. Major oxide values indicate...
An interactive Computational geometry package was developed
for the purpose of experimenting with geometry problems in
the Euclidean plane. The package also contains computer graphics
functions to display the result. Application independent functions
were developed that are both flexible and general enough for
creating new geometry experiments as well as...
An interactive computer graphics package was developed for the
purpose of solving certain geometric problems in the Euclidean plane.
The Geometric Graphics Package provides basic application-independent
functions for creating arbitrary views of two-dimensional objects and
for supporting interaction between the application program and its
user. The application program contains a...
The present study examined fathers' and mothers' attitudes
toward fathering and fathers' involvement with their infant sons
and daughters. Subjects included 42 pairs of parents with infants
from upper and middle socioeconomic class families. All subjects
were of the Caucasian race. The Attitudes Toward Fathering Scale
and the Father Behavioral...
Reactor refueling is a computationally intensive
problem solving process that requires automation since
significant resources are expended upon the search for
an optimal core loading. Without imposing some
constraints upon the configurations investigated, an
extremely large number of prototype loadings may be
generated without discovery of an improved loading. As...
Managing children with problem behaviors is a challenging task
for new teachers. Preservice training offers one means of better
preparing new teachers to meet this challenge. Before suggesting
alterations in preservice training programs, it is necessary to
understand how preservice teachers perceive and respond to problem
behaviors. Of particular interest...
This study examined the impact of a Sex Education Workshop on mothers' responses to their children's sexual questions and behaviors Subjects included 88 mothers equally divided into experimental and control groups. Experimental and control groups consisted of an equal number of mothers from high and low socioeconomic levels. Furthermore, an...
The objectives of this study were to: (1) determine if individual
differences in the learner characteristics of field dependence, state
and trait anxiety, age, sex, and prior computer experience were related
to performance in operating a computer system; (2) to determine if
differences in performance would occur as a result...
The effect of gadolinia particles on the assembly criticality
of a light water reactor was investigated using two 2-group
models. The particle effect was calculated by comparing the
criticalities of two fuel assemblies, each containing one
gadolinia-poisoned rod. For purposes of comparison, both rods
contained an equal quantity of gadolinia,...
