Previous work introduced the GenderMag method, a software inspection method used to help software creators identify features within their software that are not gender-inclusive. Inclusiveness of software (gender or otherwise) matters because supporting diversity matters—it is well-known that the more diverse a group of problem-solvers, the higher the quality of...
To determine which isolates will most rapidly replace
Phellinus weirii in stumps and roots, Trichoderma spp. were
isolated from P. weirii-infested stumps and roots, identified, and
examined for growth rates and lethal effects on P. weirii in vitro.
Phellinus weirii-infested Douglas-fir stumps and stump roots
were sampled for microorganisms by...
Thirty preschoolers were tested for language skills using
the Preschool Language Scale (PLS), Peabody Picture Vocabulary
Test-Revised (PPVT-R) Form L, and Sequenced Inventory of Communication
Development (SICD). Each child's age scores on one test
were compared to his/her scores on the other two tests. As a
group, the children achieved...
This study was designed to identify and describe home management
tasks, perceived managerial competency, and related social,
psychological, and economic consequences for a sample of retired
couples.
Managerial tasks were defined as essential, periodic activities
which (1) sustain the living patterns of a person or family in a common
household,...
This study addressed the incidence of drug use by
freshmen at Siuslaw High School in Florence, Oregon, and
sought their opinions about effective drug and alcohol
prevention programs. The purpose was to provide basic data
which would ultimately assist in specific drug and alcohol
programs for this population.
In phase...
How might capabilities for algorithm animation be seamlessly integrated into a programming language that is both visual and declarative? Until now, visual programming language researchers have not attempted to answer that question, making the fruits of algorithm animation available only to users of textual programming languages. Users of visual programming...
Research regarding factors that promote high-quality implementation of school-based prevention programs has increased markedly over the past decade as it has become increasingly recognized that evidence-based programs are often not well implemented. Whole-school interventions may be particularly complex to implement because they are intended to involve all school personnel and...
The bacterium Pseudomonas syringae affects different crops worldwide. In the
Willamette Valley of Oregon, P. syringae causes bacterial canker in sweet cherry,
severely limiting its production. High grafting of susceptible sweet cherry cultivars to
resistant rootstocks is practiced in the Willamette Valley to reduce incidence of this
disease. The research...
