Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a required
mathematics content course upon prospective elementary school
teachers at Brigham Young University. The investigation consisted of
three major areas: (1) attitudes toward mathematics, (2) basic mathematical
understanding, and (3) the relationship between certain selected
variables.

Covers the period from December 1, 1890 to November 30, 1892. Concerned with fisheries legislation and enforcement, financial reporting, hatcheries and fisheries statistics. 4th report (1891) found in p.1-28. The fifth report (1892) (p.29-46) includes sections on fish and game laws of Oregon. A paper copy of this report may...
Reviews fisheries legislation, hatchery program progress, dangers to salmon. Complains about seals and sea lion predation on salmon. Reviews major fishing streams of the time. Fiscal and statistical reports included.
The central purposes of this study were to review the
historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential
learning theory, and to determine the effect and
application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory
as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990.
It was found that Kolb based his...
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae, Borowski 1781) in the North Pacific migrate from mid- to high- latitude summer feeding grounds along the Pacific Rim, including areas off the coasts of the U.S., Canada, Russia and eastern Asia, to tropical breeding grounds each winter along Pacific coasts of Mexico and Central America...
Several dolphin species have global distributions. The extent of their radiation and limits to gene flow are presumably a product of oceanographic features both recent and historical, behavioral specializations and social organization. Rough-toothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis) are globally distributed in tropical and subtropical waters and are generally found in depths...
South Pacific humpback whales were devastated by commercial whaling in their Antarctic feeding areas during the 20th century. Understanding migratory connections and current abundance of these isolated breeding stocks is crucial for the allocation of historical Antarctic catches in population dynamic models used to assess current recovery. However, only a...
The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) shows some of the most derived characteristics of any mammal: a large body size, large brain, complex social organization and a capacity for deep foraging dives that few other marine mammals can match. Despite a history of exploitation that removed hundreds of thousands of individuals,...
This was an experimental study designed to compare the effectiveness
of computer-assisted laboratory instruction to teacher-assisted
laboratory instruction based on student achievement in Elementary
Business Statistics. Computer-assisted laboratory materials and an
Elementary Business Statistics achievement test were evaluated.
Procedures
The setting of this experiment was at Southern Oregon State
College,...
