The purpose of this research was to evaluate the
effectiveness of two smoking cessation programs -- one
group and one self-help -- which were developed and are
currently employed by the American Cancer Society.
The research was conducted in a work setting, and
all subjects were employees of the State...
In what is called participatory democracy scholars and practitioners have been calling for the involvement of citizens in decisions that affect their lives. Citizens who emerge to participate in technically complex, decision-making processes find that their involvement is often minimized, disregarded, or neglected due to barriers such as specialized scientific...
Research conducted on humpback whitefish Coregonus pidschian in the Copper River Delta, Alaska has revealed a complex life history involving seasonal migrations and the occupation of a variety of freshwater and marine habitats including lacustrine, riverine, estuarine, and marine. Forty-five whitefish were tagged with radio transmitters in 2006 and 2007,...

In this thesis, computer simulation and evaluation of solar cooling systems are presented. The simulations were conducted using the TRNSYS program, developed at the University of Wisconsin. The TRNSYS program was modified by the addition of new models for the solar collector with high fluid thermal capacity, the absorption cooler,...
It has long been acknowledged that recreation activities can cause conflict
among stakeholders with different perspectives. In 1949, Aldo Leopold, one of the
earliest proponents of wilderness preservation, noted "Public policies for outdoor
recreation are controversial. Equally conscientious citizens hold opposite views on what
is and what should be done...
It is generally accepted in stream ecology that habitat heterogeneity and patchiness at multiple scales increases ecosystem resilience through niche diversification. Heterogeneous stream habitats include a complex mosaic of hydraulic features, large woody debris, anabranches, substrata and channel forms - this complexity tends to increase as streams progress towards later...
Excavations at the Cooper’s Ferry site (10IH73) revealed a long record of repeated human occupation extending from the late Pleistocene into the early Holocene (~16,000-10,000 cal BP) and have yielded unique insights into the Western Stemmed Tradition (WST), which includes. Several studies have focused on WST pit features encountered at...
A heat stable protease was identified as the cause of textural degradation in cooked arrowtooth flounder (Atheresthes stomias) muscle. Maximum proteolytic activity in the fish muscle was observed between 55°C and 60°C and myosin heavy chain appeared to be the primary substrate for the enzyme. Degradation of this myofibrillar protein...
