The purposes of this study were threefold: (1) to formulate a
current list of biological principles to use as a checklist in this study;
(2) to utilize the formulated checklist in identifying those principles
required for reading comprehension of news articles concerning the
various areas of biology or biology-related social...
Dungeness crab is an important fishery on the Pacific Coast.
The processing subsystem of the fishery is hampered by a variety of
problems that have acted to impede technological innovations that
could improve efficiency and sanitation in seafood plants. This paper
provides background for problems encountered by the processors, discusses...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an in-service project for teachers of the social studies (K-12). The project was sponsored by the Region II Committee of the Oregon Council for Curriculum and Instruction (O.C.C.I.) during the period from November 1, 1966 to April 1, 1969....
Cells of the ventrolateral dermomyotome delaminate and migrate into the limb buds where they give rise to all muscles of the limbs. The migratory cells proliferate and form myoblasts, which withdraw from the cell cycle to become terminally differentiated myocytes. The regulatory mechanisms that control the later steps of this...
Previous research has shown a gap between chemistry students' conceptual
and computational understandings of chemistry topics such as gas laws,
equilibrium, and reactions. This qualitative study examined the conceptual and
computational understandings of stoichiometry of college students enrolled in a
large lecture Introductory Chemistry course. Factors that might influence students'...
Using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a replacement for natural aggregate in new concrete is a promising way to increase the overall sustainability of new concrete. This has been hindered, however, by a general perception that RCA is a sub-standard material due to the lack of technical guidance, specifically related...
The genus Lopidea Uhler is revised for America north of
Mexico. The relationship of Lopidea to other orthotyline
genera is discussed and it is proposed that the genus
Ilnacora Reuter is the sister group of Lopidea.
Forty-eight species of Lopidea are recognized in North
America, one of which is described...
Many of the coastal counties in Florida have active artificial reef
deployment and monitoring programs. These reef systems have been
shown to be an important destination for the marine recreational boating
industry, as well as for the for-hire commercial sector (i.e., six-pack charter
vessels, guide boats, party/head boats, and dive...
