Historically, coding theory has dealt with binary
codes correcting symmetric errors, in which errors are
made in both 0 and 1 bits with equal likelihood.
Within the past ten years, some study has been made of
asymmetric codes, under the assumption that the only
errors which occur are errors in...
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...
Coho salmon smolts (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were transported at low and high densities. (12 and 120 g/L) for short and long periods (4 and 12 h). Because smolts can be transplanted directly to seawater, half of the fish in each treatment were transported to tanks containing seawater and half to tanks...
Small amounts of carbon from glucose and leucine added at natural
concentrations to seawater were biologically transformed to higher
molecular weight (MW) dissolved materials which persisted through six
months of incubation. These materials were resistant to biological
utilization: only 1 to 17% of the higher MW carbon was respired when...
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., cv. NK894) seedlings, grown hydroponically, were exposed to ozone concentrations of 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 ppm at 60% RH, or 0.0
and 0.3 ppm at 30% and 90% RH, for 6 h/d, for four consecutive days, at ages 15 to 18 days from seeding. Plant...
The in vitro effects of cortisol in regulating salmonid B cell functions were
investigated. B cells at three distinct stages of differentiation were examined for
cortisol sensitivity. B lymphocyte responses were examined 1) during the early stage
of the precursor, 2) during the intermediate stage of differentiation associated with
clonal...
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) - white clover
(Trifolium repens) hill-land pastures were grazed at
different times in the winter to study the effect of time
of winter grazing on plant response and forage production.
The same pastures were grazed by sheep once in early
December, January, February, March, or April...
It is current practice to transport juvenile anadromous salmonids in transplantation and to help them bypass dams. Essentially nothing is known about the effects that transportation could have on the ability of the fish to outmigrate and be fit for survival in the marine environment. Procedures involved in transporation subject...
While current theories describing the insect-plant interaction
have emphasized the biochemical aspects of the relationship,
morphological components can also play a significant role in
determining which plants or tissues are susceptible to insect attack.
Xylem sap on which spittlebugs feed may lack many of the plant
compounds responsible for host...
