Although dam construction has been an integral tool in development initiatives for nearly a century, dams can have significant negative impacts on local residents, particularly those who are permanently displaced from their homes and must be resettled elsewhere. Dams have unique impacts on indigenous peoples. As a result, many dam...
Marine bacteria play vital roles in every niche of the ocean, from small-scale symbioses to large-scale productivity and the regulation of Earth’s climate. Recent advances in molecular tools now allow us to probe the genetic potential of entire microbial communities. The next step is linking these diverse communities to the...

Heritability in the narrow sense and in the broad sense, variance components and
correlation coefficients are important genetic parameters in a breeding program. The
estimates of these parameters can provide important information for a breeder in the
selection of parents, the most efficient design for evaluation of seedlings and advanced...
Organic semiconductors are used in a wide variety of applications including transistors,solar cells, and light emitting diodes. These materials are solution-processable,low cost, and tunable. Many successful organic optoelectronic materials utilizeblends of several types of molecules (such as donors and acceptors) in order topromote charge generation. As blends are an inherently...
Transport phenomena specially the ones that occur in the various engineering disciplines such as tissue engineering and natural environment are often complex to analyze mostly due to the dynamic and geometric complexities; as such, they have been the subject of an active and intense area of research in past decades....
The purpose of this study was to describe Iranian immigrant
women's knowledge, beliefs and attitudes towards breast cancer,
and their breast cancer screening behaviors. Specifically, this
research examined the predictors of age-specific breast cancer
screening participation among this population. The participants in
this study consisted (n=34 1) of self-identified first...
With the growth of Internet technologies, online-based foreign language curricula are being introduced at large numbers of institutions internationally. This peer-reviewed volume, geared towards a broad audience, presents innovative research on online language teaching, with chapters by highly engaged scholars and practitioners from the U.S. and Europe, with a strong...
A technique is developed and tested to analyze the interaction of flowing water,
bed topography, and bedload sediment transport in meandering channels where gravel
bars are removed. The method relates the local velocity distribution, bed shear stress and
sediment transport conditions to the local bed configuration in river bends before...
This is a listing of both PhD and Master's· theses relating to the areas of forestry issued during the period from July 1976 to June 1981. The
list is arranged first by state, then by college or university within each state. Authors of theses are arranged alphabetically under each of...
