Presentation at the Society of American Archivists conference, Washington DC, on August 16, 2018. Part of the panel "From Best Practices to “Next Practices”: Documenting Underrepresented Communities through Oral Histories" Panel Description: Panelists present information on a wide range of projects, from the Densho Project, a large community-based oral history...
The two naturally occurring cyclopropene fatty acids, sterculic
and malvalic, have been synthesized. The cyclopropene ring was
made by inserting a methylene unit into an acetylenic linkage.
The synthesis of methyl sterculate was repeated using diethyl
aluminum chloride, diazomethane, and methyl stearolate.
Methyl malvalate was totally synthesized. Diethyl malonate
was...
Dietary intake data of 15 treated patients with
phenylketonuria (PKU) (7-17 years) and six control siblings
(6-14 years) were used to evaluate the effectiveness of
medical foods to balance energy, protein, vitamin B-6, and
individual amino acids from natural foods and to evaluate
vitamin B-6 status. Four-day diet records were...
The purpose of this study was to develop and test a data
collection instrument that would facilitate description of the clothing
of Oregon school boys 1867-1910. In addition, the researcher attempted
to describe Oregon school-aged boys' clothing and determine if fashion
changes occurred in Oregon boys' clothing. The researcher also...
Proteinaceous compounds are abundant forms of organic nitrogen in soil and aquatic ecosystems, and the rate of protein depolymerization, which is accomplished by a diverse range of microbial secreted peptidases, often limits nitrogen turnover in the environment. To determine if the distribution of secreted peptidases reflects the ecological and evolutionary...
The red-sided garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) of Manitoba, Canada, have been extensively studied for decades with little investigation into their immune system. These animals live very close to the arctic circle and spend over half of the year underground brumating. The annual cycle of the red-sided garter snakes make...
SUMMARY:
1. Understanding how predators select their prey can provide important insights into community structure and dynamics. However, the suite of prey species available to a predator is often spatially and temporally variable. As a result, species-specific selectivity data are of limited use for predicting novel predator–prey interactions because they...
Identifying drivers of contact rates among individuals is critical to understanding disease dynamics and implementing targeted control measures. We studied the interaction patterns of 149 female elk (Cervus canadensis) distributed across five different regions of
western Wyoming over three years, defining a contact as an approach within one body length...
Powder injection molding (PIM) of ceria-stabilized, zirconia-toughened mullite composites were investigated in the present article with the goal of obtaining performance enhancement in complex geometries for energy and transportation applications. A powder-polymer mixture (feedstock) was developed and characterized to determine its suitability for fabricating complex components using the PIM process....
The main purpose of this study was to examine the influence of
additional content from areas of mainstreaming and adapted physical
education on preservice elementary educators attitudes toward
teaching nonhandicapped and handicapped children in elementary
physical education. To achieve this goal (a) an instrument was
constructed to assess the attitudes...
