A Stream Reach Inventory and Channel Stability Evaluation procedure has been used to assess the nature and extent of erosional nonpoint sources of pollution in the Evans Creek basin, a tributary to the Rogue River, in southwestern Oregon. The study is based upon the results of the Oregon Department of...
The effects of rise-time and frequency on the auditory brainstem
response were studied in six normal hearing adults. Stimuli were
high-frequency gated tone-bursts with center frequencies of 8, 10,
12, and 14 kilohertz (kHz). Examined rise-times were .1, .25, .5,
and 1.0 milliseconds (msec). Duration was maintained at 2 msec....
The purpose of the study was to analyze and compare the teaching
styles of a trial group of junior secondary science teachers
trained to use and using new materials, and a control group of teachers
using traditional materials. The new materials consisted of portable
science kits, demonstration apparatus, teacher's guides,...
The purpose of this investigation was to determine if either of
two selected commercial games, when used by seventh-grade mathematics
teachers, would significantly improve students' (1) attitudes
toward mathematics, (2) quantitative cognitive abilities, and (3) nonverbal
cognitive abilities.
Equations, a mathematics game, and Tac-Tickle, a strategy
game, were chosen as...
The study was undertaken to determine if a university-level
preliminary class concentrating upon the formalism and techniques
germane to success in science would serve to improve minority
academic performance, minority here being defined to include certain
Asian Americans, Black Americans, Native Americans, Spanish
surnamed Americans, and those white Americans who...
This thesis is a study of the changes in the cultural definition of the American Dream. I have chosen to use Superman comics, from 1938 to the present day, as litmus tests for how we have societally interpreted our ideas of “success” and the “American Way.” This work is primarily...

Salt-encrusted flats, or Sabkha, are common in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide, including coastal and inland areas. Due to their low shear strength and high compressibility, these soils are often unsuitable for supporting infrastructure or structures. The unique salt content of sabkha formations sets them apart from other soil types....
Three areas of liquid state theory are considered.
First, Monte Carlo computer simulation of a two-dimensional hard
disk fluid with an imbedded ellipse was undertaken to determine how a
non-spherical molecule affects intermolecular ordering. The
elliptical molecule (with axial ratios of 2, 5 and 10) altered the
isotropic distribution of...
