Wendy Bishop's lively voice and scholarly contribution continue to resonate and be important in composition studies. Bishop--poet, scholar, feminist, teacher, ethnographer, and compositionist--sought to blur the lines between creative writing and composition. This thesis argues that in challenging the boundaries that exist between creative writing and composition, Bishop also challenged...
During physiological ageing of seed potatoes, the stored tuber
undergoes certain biochemical changes which cause the breaking of
dormancy and the initiation of bud growth. The ageing process can
be manipulated through storage temperature and duration. Higher
temperatures usually accelerate seed tuber ageing. In order to
define the process of...
Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are a common and costly public health problem with a high occurrence in older women due to menopausal-onset bone loss. Recent findings suggest that mechanical loading created by upper body resistance training can stimulate bone growth in the lumbar spine, reducing osteoporosis-related bone loss and associated fracture...
The aim of this study was to determine whether
counselors in training chose various specialties due to
their level of self-concept, counseling style, and
gender. It was hypothesized that there would be a
significant difference in self-concepts, counseling
styles, and gender between individuals who chose family
counseling and those who...
Purpose
The major purpose of this study was to investigate the effects
of self concept upon parent-adolescent communication patterns.
Parental self concepts and the self concepts of their adolescent along
with the adolescent's perceived quality of communication with their
parents were examined to determine if (1) the parents' self concepts...
Serum samples from 1,046 Kansas cattle were examined for the
presence of neutralizing antibody to caliciviruses known to be
circulating in the marine environment. All sera were from farm-origin
cattle, with the number tested being proportionate to the total number
of cattle in each county. These sera were selected in...
Computer decision aids can help integrate and apply diverse sources of information and expertise to problems of integrated pest management (IPM) in agriculture and forestry. AppleMgr combines a rule-based expert system with databases and spreadsheets in a prototype decision aid intended to be expanded and modified for use by extension...
Soil solution samplers have certain inadequacies that limit their range of
possible applications. Passive Capillary Samplers (PCAPS), which apply suction to the
soil pore-water via a fiber glass wick, have shown promising results in preliminary
experiments in regard to collection efficiency of water and of bromide tracers. The
objectives of...
A complete Gallium Arsenide Metal Semiconconductor
Field Effect Transistor (GaAs MESFET) model including deep-level
trap effects has been developed, which is far more
accurate than previous equivalent circuit models, for high-speed
applications in linear integrated circuit design.
A new self-backgating GaAs MESFET model, which can
simulate low frequency anomalies, is...
