Ashlock (1975) identified career education descriptive
factors as related to eight content areas of the Theory and
Practicum II program at Oregon State University. Based on
this research and the research literature, a Career Education
Competency-Based Instructional Model was devised. By
modifying the curriculum, this career education conceptual
model for...
The purpose of this research was to determine the common
professional training needs, proficiency and managerial requirements
of Oregon community college physical education instructors. The
respondents in this study were instructors who teach physical education
activity courses PE 180 - 185 - 190 in Oregon community colleges.
Four major tasks...
Statistically, travel by air is one of the safest forms of transportation. Yet we
continue to experience aviation tragedies. Do we fully understand flight safety or is
there another way of looking at the problem? In this work a new way of approaching
the question of flight safety is developed,...

environments, this study was...
Global increases in ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR:290-
320 nm) resulting from decreases in stratospheric ozone
concentration have the potential to alter marine primary
production and affect global climate and marine trophic
dynamics. Effects of UVBR on phytoplankton carbon fixation
were determined from open ocean exposure studies conducted
off the coast of...
Several empirical formulas that may be used to estimate available
chilling are presented in this study. Many climatic parameters
were considered in the derivation of these formulas. One equation
employing only maximum and minimum temperatures had a coefficients
of correlation (R) and R² values of .978 and .957, respectively. This...
This analysis concerns the life and scientific work of Henry
Augustus Rowland (1848-1901), organizer and the first chairman of
the physics department at The Johns Hopkins University in 1876.
Special materials used in this research included three pieces of
Rowland's experimental apparatus which are extant in the Smithsonian
Institution Division...
