The purpose of the study, which was conducted at Chemeketa Community
College in Salem, Oregon, was threefold:
1. to assess the attitudes and opinions of administrators, content
faculty, developmental faculty, and students concerning developmental
education needs of community college students.
2. to develop a questionnaire which could serve as a...
Complementary DNA (cDNA) clones were generated from the RNA genome
of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) by using random DNA
oligomers to prime first strand synthesis. These clones were mapped to
their respective locations on the genome and used to determine the
nucleotide sequence of the nucleocapsid (N) gene and...
The purpose of this study was to test in practice the perceptual
field approach learning theory with students identified as slow
learners. The essential aim was to achieve significant improvement
in the self adjustment of the students while not inhibiting their
learning of biology. The approaches and techniques of perceptual...
The mechanisms of pool maintenance were investigated in a small (width = 10 m,
drainage area = 18 km2), gravel-bed stream where pools are commonly associated with
large, in-channel obstructions. Measurements of boundary shear stress, scour and fill of
the stream bed, and bedload transport rate and grain-size distribution were...
Optimization of reservoir operation is involves various competing objectives for a scarce resource (water). To find the optimal operation of reservoirs, it is essential to consider multiple objectives simultaneously. There are various sources of uncertainty associated with the reservoir operation problem that should be considered as well.
The overarching goal...
The asymmetric nature of bit errors in several practical applications provides grounds for efficient error control techniques. The Z-channel model and special classes of codes like asymmetric error detection codes and t-asymmetric error correcting/d-asymmetric error detecting codes can be successfully used in ARQ protocols for feedback error control enhancement. This...
The Purpose of the Study
The central purpose of this study was to determine the professional
education competencies of selected community college vocational
instructors. Respondents in the study included instructors of business
and distributive education. Major dimensions were the construction
and validation of a questionnaire for community college vocational
instructors;...
