The purpose of this study was to determine the effects
of providing behavioral objectives prior to instruction on
the achievement of students in a one-semester college
general chemistry course and to determine the effect of
providing behavioral objectives of selected chemistry
experiments in the acquisition of achievement associated
with laboratory...
The purpose of this investigation was to determine if either of
two selected commercial games, when used by seventh-grade mathematics
teachers, would significantly improve students' (1) attitudes
toward mathematics, (2) quantitative cognitive abilities, and (3) nonverbal
cognitive abilities.
Equations, a mathematics game, and Tac-Tickle, a strategy
game, were chosen as...
Ribonucleotide reductase from Rhizobium meliloti has been
partially purified and characterized. The enzymatic reduction of
ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides is dependent upon B₁₂ coenzyme
and dihydrolipoate.
B₁₂ coenzyme was more effective than B₁₂ coenzyme analogues
in the reductase reaction. The affinity of the R. meliloti
reductase system for B₁₂ coenzyme was...
The purpose of the study was to analyze and compare the teaching
styles of a trial group of junior secondary science teachers
trained to use and using new materials, and a control group of teachers
using traditional materials. The new materials consisted of portable
science kits, demonstration apparatus, teacher's guides,...
The study was undertaken to determine if a university-level
preliminary class concentrating upon the formalism and techniques
germane to success in science would serve to improve minority
academic performance, minority here being defined to include certain
Asian Americans, Black Americans, Native Americans, Spanish
surnamed Americans, and those white Americans who...
Experiments are reported which demonstrate that a cobalt deficiency
in R. meliloti results in a decreased cytochrome content of
bacterial cells. It is concluded that the effect of cobalt deficiency
on cytochrome content of Rhizobium cells and on the leghemoglobin
content of nodules possibly may be explained by an effect...
The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine the
conditions necessary for the preparation of cell-free extracts of
nodule bacteroids capable of catalysing the reduction of acetylene to
ethylene and nitrogen to ammonia. Initial investigations were conducted
to determine whether intact soybean root nodules would reduce
acetylene to ethylene...
A common problem in postal surveys of human populations
arises when some of the sampled people fail to respond to the questionnaire.
The problem is that the answers provided by the respondents
may not be typical of the answers the nonrespondents would
provide if these had been solicited more successfully....
