The purpose of this study was to examine one case of embezzlement at one community college in order to assess the sociological effects of the embezzlement on that college. The research design for this study was qualitative using a case study approach. Although there was no attempt to generalize the...
The Schwartzwalder uranium deposit, in the Front Range west of Denver, Colorado, is the largest vein-type uranium deposit in the United States. The deposit is situated in a steeply dipping fault system that cuts Proterozoic metamorphic rocks. The host rocks represent a submarine volcanic system with associated chert and iron-...
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze criteria
and procedures used in the selection of occupational advisory committee
members in Oregon community colleges. The existence of a
common core of criteria and procedures for selecting occupational
advisory committee members was investigated. Further, the...
Human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP/LL-37) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that is widely expressed by myeloid and epithelial cells at the human-environment interface. It possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial capacity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, CAMP/LL-37 also attracts and recruits monocytes, neutrophils and other...
A brushless doubly-fed machine (BDFM) is a single-frame, self-cascaded
induction machine capable of operating in both the induction
and the synchronous modes. This thesis presents some important
advances concerning dynamic modeling, simulation and analysis of the
BDFM.
Initially, a two-axis model and its associated parameters are developed
and calculated. The...
This study compared two self-instructional methods for
improving spelling in high school and college: a traditional-deductive presentation of spelling rules and lists of words to exemplify
each rule versus a programed-inductive presentation leading
the learner to observe the spelling behavior of words and to make
generalizations.
Both the traditional-deductive and...
The physiological condition of tree seedlings at the time they are planted can have a profound impact on their subsequent field performance. Damaged or low vigor seedlings have a much greater chance of dying in the field, or at best, of growing slowly during their initial establishment period. Several methods...
This paper presents two applications of empirical microeconomics
based on choice theoretic optimization principles. The first topic
explores the determinants of subsistence time allocation in a utility
theoretic model of household production. The second topic examines firm
pricing behavior in a deregulated, but concentrated industry setting.
The first part of...
