Persistence of Non aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) in the subsurface at residual
saturations eventually contributes to undesirable groundwater contamination. Proper
characterization of subsurface NAPL, its location, composition and distribution, is
essential for the chosen remediation technology to be effective. It is also desirable to
assess the performance of remedial actions...
In this qualitative, phenomenological study I employed
oral history methodology, grounded in a life-span
developmental and feminist approach, to explore the
developmental importance of menarche in twenty older women's
"bodily histories." Menarche is an important developmental
event in the female life course because it represents a major
point of confluence...
It is well established that the extended range V(I) transition behavior in
filamentary superconducting composites depends strongly on the processing
conditions of the composite. Based on previous work, a model proposed by
Warnes et al predicts that the second derivative of the V(I) transition is related to
a more fundamental...
Gender relations as well as the social situation of Manchu women have long been
ignored in studies of the cultural evolution of the Manchu. By setting the discussion of
Manchu women in the context of cultural adaptation, this study reintroduces gender and
women's problems into the research on the Manchu...
In an agrisilviculture system, trees and crops compete for above and below ground resources. This study aimed at quantifying the effect of shoot pruning and root barriers around pollarded trees on the production of crop and tree components with and without application of fertilizer to the crop. Sorghum (1991 &...
