Self-regulation is a cognitive mechanism that allows children to maintain control over their behaviors and emotions. The importance of this function is well-documented, but there is less understanding of the factors that affect children’s development of self-regulation. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine if parent stress in...
In the 1961-62 academic year there were thirteen National
Defense Education Act Counseling and Guidance Training Institutes
established at institutions of higher education about the country.
The purpose of these institutes was to upgrade the counseling and
guidance skills of personnel employed as half-time counselors in
secondary schools. As a...
Interest in child care has grown dramatically, yet little is known about how
families manage to ensure appropriate child care. In a secondary analysis of data from
642 employed mothers representing a wide range of income levels, this research
identified the factors contributing most to mothers' satisfaction with child care...
Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) such as vinyl chloride (VC) and 1,-2 dichioroethane (DCA), are wide-spread groundwater pollutants found at many contaminated field sites around the world. Quantitative tools are needed to determine the in situ rates of VC and DCA transformation to ethene in contaminated groundwater. The objective of this...
Potential policy decisions regarding fly fishing in the Yellowstone National Park Area
could severely impact the enjoyment possibilities of many of its users. In order to
determine the magnitude of the impact, this paper applies a form of the basic travel cost
model developed by Bell and Leeworthy [JEEM. 18,189-205...
There is growing evidence that humans and other animals can taste certain starch hydrolysis products, namely, maltooligosaccharides (MOS), and that their detection is independent of the known sweet receptor, T1R2 T1R3. The overall goal of this study was to further investigate the taste perception of low degree-of-polymerization (DP) MOS in...
Sensory stimulation from food-related cues elicits a number of rapid physiologic responses that prepare the gastrointestinal tract for efficient nutrient utilization and help minimize perturbations to metabolic homeostasis. Cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR) is one such response that specifically promotes glucose homeostasis by limiting the rise in blood sugar after...
Transportation contributes approximately 41 percent of California’s greenhouse gas emissions and 27 percent of national greenhouse gas emissions (CARB, 2019, EPA, 2017). In response to climate change concerns, stakeholders have encouraged the use of electric and hybrid vehicles through tax credits, rebates, and education campaigns. Environmental and transportation justice groups...
Without the natural occurrence of fire in ponderosa pine forests of the western US, lodgepole pine has started to dominate regeneration in many forest stands and may be gradually replacing ponderosa pine over time. This development, however, conflicts with recent efforts in this region to restore old-aged, open ponderosa pine...
In Washington State, regional leaders have acknowledged the intrinsic value of nature and are striving to provide equal consideration to both human and nonhuman nature in the quest to restore the Puget Sound. But watershed-based committees supporting this work have faced challenges to effectively consider human wellbeing (HWB) in their...
PART I. A chemical examination of the materials toxic to fish in
kraft pulp mill wastes has been made as part of a water pollution
study. Thirty gallons of "foul condensate" from a typical kraft mill
gave 14 g of organic material when extracted with methylene chloride,
and an additional...
Bicyclo [6.1.0] non-4-ene was prepared by two routes; (1) reaction
of cis-cis-1, 5-cycloöctadiene with methylene iodide and zinc-copper
couple, (2) sodium-methanol reduction of 9, 9-dibromobicyclo-[6.1.0] non-4-ene. The bicyclononene was characterized by its infrared
spectrum, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum and common
physical properties. The olefin was hydrogenated to bicyclo [6.1.0] -...
The familiar equilibrium between 1, 7- octadiene and cyclooctene
at temperatures exceeding 3000, indicates that an ene-retroene
process could be used as a six atom ring expansion method. To test
this possibility we prepared both cis and trans isomers of 1, 2- diallyl-
1, 2 -bis (trimethylsiloxy) cyclohexane and pyrolyzed...
3-Methyl-2,4-dioxabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane and 7-hydroxy-3-methyl-2, 4-dioxabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane were synthesized by the
method of Croxall, Glavis and Neher, although in low yields.
The structure of both compounds was proven by analytical
methods and analysis of their spectral properties.
Tentative configuration of C-3 in both compounds was
assigned on the assumption...
During a study of the abnormal dienone-phenol rearrangement
discovered by Marvell and Geiszler, Imel (1960) found that 4-oxo-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydrophenanthrene rearranged slowly to a phenol
which was tentatively identified as 3,4-dimethyl-l-phenanthrol;
further evidence to support this assignment was deemed essential.
The recent work by Mallory on the photochemical conversion of
stilbenes to...
The retro-ene reaction of 2-vinylcyclohexanols occurs readily
in the vapor phase at 400-450° producing unsaturated carbonyl
compounds in good yields. The starting- materials were prepared in
general by the carbenoid addition reaction of ethyl diazoacetate,
appropriately substituted cyclohexene, and copper catalyst to
produce bicyclic esters which were reduced to the...
The preparation of 4-(3-hydroxypropyl) cyclohexanone and
of 4-(3-hydroxypropyl) cyclohexene and a number of their derivatives
as potential precursors of asymmetrically substituted bicyclo [3, 3, 1]
nonanes is described.
The ketone, 4-(3-hydroxypropyl) cyclohexanone, was prepared
from p-allylanisole by three different routes. Common to each
route was an initial hydroboration-oxidation followed by...
