This study reports the design, construction, and evaluation of an automatic cardiac massage device and support system. The design incorporates the principle of a cardioplethysmograph operated in reverse, such that pneumatic power fed to the prosthesis will mechanically impart a massaging action to the heart. Basically, the prosthesis is a...
The relation of nutria (Myocastor coypus) feeding to total abundance, species composition, and seasonal use of the marsh flora on
the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge was studied during
1969 and 1970. Nutria numbers were estimated by livetrapping. Food
habits data were compiled from observations of feeding nutria. Phenology,...
We take for granted how quickly we, as humans, form mental models of the world around us. By the time we are toddlers, we have an observable intuition around the physical rules of the world. Stacking blocks such that they don’t fall over becomes such a trivial task, that it...
The effect of gadolinia particles on the assembly criticality
of a light water reactor was investigated using two 2-group
models. The particle effect was calculated by comparing the
criticalities of two fuel assemblies, each containing one
gadolinia-poisoned rod. For purposes of comparison, both rods
contained an equal quantity of gadolinia,...
A Korean Sex Stereotype Measure (KSSM) was developed to assess the awareness of sex-trait stereotypes among Korean children. The KSSM contains 32 descriptions of psychological characteristics, 16 of which represent the male-trait stereotypes, and 16 of which represent the female-trait stereotypes. In a test situation, subjects were asked to associate...
The awareness of sex-trait stereotypes among 120, eight-year-old children from intact families in both rural and urban areas in Korea were investigated. The rural sample included 20 boys and 20 girls attending the Damyang-Dong Primary School in Damyang-Eup, Korea. These subjects came primarily from farm families of the upper-lower and...
This study explored the relationship between ethnic and ego identities taking
into consideration age at arrival in the U.S., gender of adolescent, family functioning,
and parental performance of ethnic behaviors/activities. In addition, this study
described the general nature of ethnic and ego identity development among Korean-
American adolescents.
One hundred...
This thesis describes the design of a syntax directed, production
language compiler called ALG. Special attention is given to the syntax
directed analyzer and the use of sub-syntax types. Relocation
codes are used for storage allocation and address assignment before
generating the relocatable binary object decks. Attention is also
given...
The nephrotoxicities of the aminoglycoside antibiotics tobramycin (TBM) and netilmicin (NTM) were studied in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) to determine the usefulness of salmonids as a sensitive animal mode for investigating the nephrotoxic potential of these agents. Logit analysis revealed that 8-12 day i.p. LD 50's in rainbow trout for...
