A configuration-interaction determination of wave
functions has been made for the ²S and ²P states of lithium,
and for the ¹S and ³S states of the lithium ion.
Two 1s, one 2s, one 3s, and two 2p functions served as
starting functions for all four states. Results of the
total...
The purpose of this study is to examine the events and activities that
triggered strategic and large-scale changes in four community college based
Small Business Development Centers. A review of the literature in
organizational theory and community college education was used to form
an integrated conceptual scheme which could be...
A new photosystem-II mutant of the green alga Scenedesmus
obliquus D₃, strain PS-28, has been shown to lack a-tocopherol
(vitamin E). The photosynthetic activity of dark grown samples of
PS-28 is about 20% of the wild-type control. Culturing the mutant
at low light intentisites (10⁴ ergs/sec-cm ²) stimulates photosynthetic
activity...
Morphological changes in five clonally propagated genotypes
of Agrostis L. resulting from variations in environment were
studied in six natural environments extending from southern Oregon
to northern British Columbia. These same clones were also subjected
to four different cutting heights in turf plots. In addition to
the field experiments, they...
Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disease, affecting a third of women and a fifth of men over age 65. In the US, annual health care costs associated with osteoporosis are estimated to be over $20 billion. Osteoporosis is associated with increased fracture risk, which has been demonstrated to predict...
Two light sensitive mutants of the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus strain D₃ have been characterized. The photodynamic nature of their sensitivity has been established, the subchloroplast site of photodamage has been investigated, and their noncarotenogenic character has been verified. The two mutants possess several similarities, although mutant L. S. -41...
Small herds of cows were observed and spatially mapped over continuous twenty-four hour periods. Treatments were implemented that investigated the effect of water site and supplementation on animal distribution patterns. A series of six observation periods constituted each observation series. Observation series were repeated winter (January) and summer (July) for...
The major purpose of this study was to determine if
there were significant differences in the self-concepts of
vocational education teacher-trainees, non-vocational education
teacher trainees and non-education students at
Montana State University.
Two hundred students were surveyed to determine if
there were any differences in self-concepts based on
either major...
The purpose of the study was to determine the current status
of provisions being made to provide for appropriate utilization of
the increasing quantities of audiovisual equipment and materials
available in the public schools of Oregon. The ultimate objective of
the study was to identify activities and programs essential to...
