This study evaluated effects of Positive Action, a school-based social-emotional and character development (SECD) intervention, on indicators of positive youth development (PYD) among a sample of low-income, ethnic minority youth attending 14 urban schools. The study used a matched-pair, cluster-randomized controlled design at the school level. A multiple-measure self-report protocol...
Abstract: A series of 23 thin, mostly mud-silt turbidites are found interspersed between larger, well-dated and regionally correlated paleoseismic sandy turbidites that extend along most of the Cascadia margin, northwestern United States. Investigation of the structure, distribution, and sedimentology of these thin mud-silt units supports the interpretation of these units...
Collaborative fisheries research provides a mechanism for integrating the unique knowledge, experience, and skills of fishermen and scientists. It is a joint intellectual endeavor that begins with the inception of a project and continues until its final stages, with each group having mutual investment in-and ownership of-the project. Collaborative fisheries...
The aims of physical education in Ghana include developing personal qualities
such as competence in students and generating interest in physical education and sports
(Ghana Education Service, [GES], 1987). The GES has also reiterated the need to have
competent teachers in the implementation of the school physical education syllabus;
therefore...
Effects of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), dibutyryl cyclic
AMP (dbcAMP), 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP), okadaic acid
(OA), cycloheximide (CHX), actinomycin D (AcD) and tunicamycin
(TuM) on plasminogen activator (PA) activity and maturation rate
in bovine and porcine oocyte-cumulus cell complexes (BOCC and
POCC, respectively) in vitro were determined. Plasminogen
activator activity was...
We developed a new climate-sensitive vegetation state-and-transition simulation
model (CV-STSM) to simulate future vegetation at a fine spatial grain commensurate
with the scales of human land-use decisions, and under the joint influences of changing
climate, site productivity, and disturbance. CV-STSM integrates outputs from four different
modeling systems. Successional changes in...

The purpose of this project is to characterize mixing effects of the Beta 2 tool that is under development by the Hewlett Packard Pinot team. By optimization of a stage oscillation process, the undesirable effects of a locally high concentrated drug elution within a well plate can be alleviated. This...
Although the human health and social benefits from outdoor recreation are numerous, there is mounting evidence that outdoor recreation can negatively impact wildlife. Shorebirds are known to be especially sensitive to recreation-related disturbance because they nest and forage directly on beaches that are often used for recreation. Many studies have...
