A laboratory method for evaluating wood preservatives should provide in a comparatively short time an integrated measure of the relative permanence and fungus-inhibiting capacity of a product. There is as yet no generally acceptable laboratory method of this type. Systematic service records serve to bolster the reputation of established preservatives....
Objective: To determine the relationship of motor skills and the core behaviors of young children with autism, social affective skills and repetitive behaviors, as indicated through the calibrated autism severity scores.
Design: The univariate GLM tested the relationship of gross and fine motor skills measured by the gross motor scale...
Motor skill deficits are present and persist in school-aged children with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD; Staples & Reid, 2010). Yet the focus of intervention is
on core impairments, which are part of the diagnostic criteria for ASD, deficits in
social communication skills. The purpose of this study is to determine...
In addition to the core characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) motor skill
deficits are present, persistent and pervasive across age. Although motor skill deficits have been
indicated in young children with autism they have not been included in the primary discussion of
early intervention content. 159 young children with...
The Juneau Wetland Management Plan (JWMP), Volume 1, provides results of wetlands mapping and wetland functional assessments for currently undeveloped parcels within the City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ). The study areas were selected for their potential for future development based on low elevation and proximity to existing infrastructure. During...
Contains ground-truthed wetland maps and scores representing ecosystem services of a large portion of the wetlands in Juneau, Alaska. LiDAR imagery was used extensively.
The breaking radii of variously discolored veneers of six different hardwood species were small enough, for most of the discolorations, to indicate that such veneers can be used successfully on members having curved surfaces. When expressed in terms of the minimum radius of curvature attained without fracturing, the breaking radius...
Radiogenic isotopes of hafnium (Hf) and neodymium (Nd) are powerful tracers for water mass transport and trace metal cycling in the present and past oceans. However, due to the scarcity of available data the processes governing their distribution are not well understood. Here we present the first combined dissolved Hf...
This guide focuses on making choices to improve quality of life and reduce negative impacts on the environment. Contains information and activities to help you be more thoughtful about lifestyle choices and create your personal version of sustainable living.
The study applies the Stimulus–Organism–Response (SOR) model and Social Contract Theory to investigate the effect of behavioral practices scenarios (stimulus) on consumers’ evaluations of their online shopping experiences (internal organism) and repurchase intention toward online retailers (external response). The findings suggest there is a disconnect between online shoppers and their...
