The effects of a subliminal auditory stimulus on the
motor activity and task performance skills of hyperkinetic
children were investigated. Fifteen boys between seven and
twelve years of age, who were enrolled in one of three
treatment groups for hyperactivity, were recruited for
this study. Each child participated, weekly, in...
The story of Leo Szilard has not been told in its full complexity. This is especially so of the role imagination played in Szilard’s worldview. Szilard, like many other scientists in the mid-twentieth century, worked on the Manhattan Project. Like these other wartime participants, the work and relationships formed during...
Primate populations are declining in number, with an estimated “60% of primate species threatened with extinction from hunting and trapping” (Estrada et al., 2017). The largest threat to mammals in West and Central Africa is commercial hunting (Jost Robinson, Daspit, & Remis, 2011). Hunting these large mammals was once practiced...
As GIS becomes more prominent in academic classrooms at all levels of education, the subject of geography and its related disciplines can be approached with a geospatial technology perspective, using new tools and lesson plans. The implementation of Google Earth in classrooms is just one example of this. Research was...
The effects of fermentation on selected nutrients in the seed
of the African locust-bean were investigated. The protein content
of the seeds declined from 50.1% of dry weight in the unfermented
sample to 32.4% of dry weight in the fully fermented sample.
Methionine, cystine, and tryptophan were the limiting amino...
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogenic bacteria which incites
crown gall tumors. Although virulence has been associated with a
97-156 Mdalton "tumor-inducing" (Ti) plasmid, few potential plasmid gene
products have been identified. The objective of this study was to
identify plasmid-coded gene products through a comparison of protein
fingerprints of...
The purpose of this study was to compare the performance
between high school students with esteem needs and those with
security needs in discovering a two-second delay between correct
response and feedback in a paired-associated learning task, Subjects
had to determine which one of seven possible responses (digits) to a...
Hyporheic zones are important regions that reside below and along the sides of streams. Within this region, several ecosystem services are provided including stream temperature regulation, habitats for a large variety of species, pollutant removal, and nutrient cycling. Exchange between the hyporheic zone and stream occurs across multiple scales, but...
