The thesis examines the principal air-sea properties at Ocean
Station Vessel N (30N 140W). In a descriptive section, meteorological
and oceanographic data for N are analyzed over 20 years (1951-1970)
and 7 years (1964-1970), respectively. A rainfall estimate is constructed
for the 20 year period. The yearly average rainfall is...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship
between self-directive play and social behavior and between self-directive
play and self-concept in matched pairs of first grade
children.
The sample consisted of 12 pairs of first grade children
matched for sex, age, school experience, and number of siblings.
The...
This investigation was designed to determine the effectiveness
of video-tape feedback as a technique to modify some selected behaviors
of untrained prospective elementary teachers. Four verbal
and four nonverbal behaviors were considered; they were: teacher
questioning, teacher telling, teacher distractive verbal, teacher
allowing for pupil verbal, teacher constructive nonverbal, teacher...
5'-Deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase catalyzes
the phosphorolytic cleavage of 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine
to form 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioribose-1-phosphate and
adenine in mammalian cells and plays an important role in
methionine and purine salvage. The enzyme is abundant in
normal tissues and in cell lines derived from normal cells.
However, several malignant tissues and cell lines have been...
In this thesis the author extends the standard techniques of differential geometry to the case of distributional (in the sense of Schwartz) pseudoriemannian structures. A new definition of flows for distributional vector fields is developed using generalized paths which are essentially nonlinear-distributional measures, and an existence theorem is proved when...
Perspective-taking has been defined as the tendency
to take the point of view of another, to put oneself in
the psychological shoes of another. This ability has
been argued to be an important component of social
interaction. This research examined three components of
perspective-taking: a general measure of perspective
taking...
In 2014, W. Bogley identified a relation between the algebraic and geometric prop- erties of cyclically presented groups Gn (w) in the case where w = x0xkxl is a positive word of length three. Specifically, it was shown that the dynamics of the shift θG on the group G =...
