This investigation was designed to study articulation between
Oregon secondary mathematics programs and college mathematics at
Oregon State University. Three main facets of the problem were
studied:
1. The relationship of several factors to the CEEB Level I
Mathematics Achievement Test score.
2. The feasibility of a discriminant function as...
Previous research had indicated that siblings of deceased children
developed a variety of behavioral problems as a result of the
death (Binger et al., 1969; Cain et al., 1964; Martinson et al., 1980;
Stehbens, & Lascari, 1974). The purpose of this study was to determine
the relationship of selected factors...

The purpose of this study was to identify the management demands that may
be unique to science classrooms. The sample consisted of three biology teachers and
three language arts teachers from two high schools located within the same school
district. To establish a basic framework, two quantitative questions were addressed:...
The development of a transient electric birefringence (TEB) apparatus for macroparticle characterization is herein discussed. The experimental difficulties encountered were related largely to poor data resolution. Misalignment and strain birefringence in optical components further complicated results. Improved data digitization methods were developed, and precise mathematical models were derived in order...
Systems theory and role theory were used in this study to
develop a management model, integrating the managerial and
psycho-social subsystems of the family system. The integrated theory
and model were used to derive hypotheses concerning whether or not
type of task and actual/relative amount of time spent on household...
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) accounts for almost 20% of all deaths in the United States and is a leading cause of premature death and disability. The cost for this disease includes not only lost work years, but billions of health care dollars. Women account for almost half of the deaths...
Contemporary forest management involves a more extensive and diverse suite of management objectives than was the case throughout much of the Twentieth Century. Heightened public and political awareness of local and global biodiversity decline, and interest in arresting these trends, has increased the emphasis on broad-based biodiversity conservation as an...
