Few studies have attempted to elicit and characterize children's conceptions of the environment or nature, particularly those resulting from a residential EE experience, which contextualize knowledge, attitudes, and may...
A procedure is described for analyzing the nitrogen content of
durable press cotton fabric at the rate of 20 samples per hour using
the Technicon Kjeldahl Auto Analyzer equipped with a continuous
digestor. This method was as good as or better than conventional
micro -Kjeldahl technique s.
Durable press cotton...
A study of phosphorus loading and water quality implications was conducted for
the Oregon coastal lakes. The study was based on existing data for lake total phosphorus
concentrations and for watershed land uses. A phosphorus mass-balance model was
developed to predict lake total phosphorus concentrations from estimated phosphorus
loading from...
This report presents a refined method for the calculation of fuel centerline temperatures and the linear-heat-rating-to-incipient melting, ' Q'[subscript m], of mixed-oxide fuel typical of that to be used in the Fast Flux Test Facility and in Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors. Of primary concern are the effects of the...
The Nevada Test Site (NTS) was the location for at least 100 above ground
Nuclear Weapons tests during the 1950's and early 1960's. Radioactive fallout
from these tests spread to many areas north and west of the NTS. According to
estimates from the NCI and DOE, Washington County, Utah was...
