The Santa Barbara-Montecito and Goleta basins are structurally
continuous fault-controlled Pleistocene basins containing
up to 3000 feet (925 m) of marine Pleistocene Santa Barbara Formation
which were deposited on previously deformed Sisquoc and older
strata. Structures subcropping against the unconformity at the
base of the Santa Barbara Formation show that...
The literature asserts that both the medical and educational
communities have forecast a potential for an AIDS
epidemic on college and university campuses. The experts
warn that without either a cure or a vaccine for AIDS, it
is only through education of "risk behaviors" that
devastation can be avoided.

The purpose of this study was to assess the attitudes of teachers at the
elementary, middle, and high school levels toward student rights and

Contrasted to the rich body of literature on ill children in
medical settings, well children's reactions to routine health care has
drawn little attention. This study assessed healthy children's under
standing of their bodies, medical procedures, and how this knowledge
relates to their behavior during routine health care. The study...
Roughskin newts, Taricha granulosa (Skilton), were exposed to
UV-B (280-320nm), UV-A (321-380 nm), and visible radiation from
fluorescent sunlamps (Westinghouse FS40) that were filtered with
cellulose acetate film. UV-B controls were exposed to irradiation
from sunlamps that were filtered with Mylar-D, a polyester film
that effectively absorbed UV-B radiation while...
The optical Bloch equations for a two-level atom in a laser
beam with an amplitude of arbitrary time dependence are derived in
the rotating wave approximation. The light scattered by the atom
is investigated for the special case of an intense, resonant laser
beam with a sinusoidally modulated amplitude. The...
The 4-H Food and Nutrition Enrichment Guide is a series of activities to support the learning experience, with phases appropriate to the age and skill development of 4-H members. With your help, the 4-H member chooses activities he or she wants to complete in each phase. If your 4-H member...
The purpose of the research project was to teach the management
of perpetual and periodic inventory systems to university students in
the field of food systems management through the use of a microcomputer
software program developed for this purpose. The objective
of the study was to determine the classroom simulation's...
The Russell Ranch oil field is located in the southern Coast
Ranges west of Bakersfield, California. Detailed subsurface
mapping shows that a northwest-oriented right-lateral wrench-fault
system was active from possibly latest Oligocene to Pliocene time.
The effects of Quaternary thrusting were superimposed on, and influenced
by, structures associated with the...
The financial aspects of divorce are of great importance
to the growing numbers of men, women, and children
