In this paper I focus on the process of formulating an ethnic identity in the United States for individuals of mixed-ethnicity. My main question explores the complexities an individual with parents of separate and distinct ethnic heritages faces when constructing an ethnic identity in our society. American society is reaching...
Populations of Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins from three pine
hosts, Pinus ponderosa Laws., P. contorta Dougl. and P. monticola
Dougl., were sampled with regard to their acoustic signals, the
morphology of their stridulatory apparatus and some aspects of their
emergence behavior. Comparisons of these characteristics were made
between samples from different...
There are six types of Cl. botulinum (Types A, B, C, D, E,
and F). The differentiation between these types is based upon the
antigenic structure of the toxin. Many strains of these various types
have been isolated. In addition, a number of nontoxigenic "type Elike"
strains have come to...
Recent studies of flow boiling within microchannels have shown high heat fluxes, leading to successful design and testing of compact heat exchangers, cooling systems for electronics and other high efficiency, miniature components. An experimental study of flow boiling of a concentrated salt solution in microchannels is presented. Experiments examined flow...
There is increasing awareness that human activities are altering the ways that natural systems operate and that local shifts in species composition and abundance can lead to abrupt and irreversible global change. Therefore, understanding the processes that buffer biological communities from critical shifts and how our actions affect natural stabilizing...
The dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis of annual rye grass (Lolium
multiflorum) straw was investigated. The straw was hydrolyzed in a
stainless steel pressure bomb at 121° C, 135° C, and 150° C with
0.5 to 3.0 percent sulfuric acid for time periods up to 40 minutes.
These conditions resulted in...
The SAOS Road Network Simulator (SARNS) is a graphical simulation program for transportation planning, implemented using the structural active-object system (SAOS) approach. A SAOS is an object-oriented concurrent system that consists of a collection of interacting structural active objects (SAOs), whose behaviors are determined by transition statements provided in their...
