The study measured and compared the philosophies of education of OSU graduates who are experienced teachers of vocational education and undergraduate vocational teacher trainees on an essentialist-progressive scale at OSU. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine if experienced teachers of vocational education and undergraduate vocational teacher trainees...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
Gary J. Huftile for the degree of
California's Central Valley agricultural landscapes provide several important wintering regions for Pacific Flyway sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) populations; however, the value of those regions is being compromised by urban expansion, other developments, and conversions to incompatible crop types. Greater (G. c. tabida) and lesser sandhill cranes (G. c. canadensis) both...

It is desirable to be able to describe an automobile mathematically
because of the large number of variables which affect automobiles'
handling characteristics and of the high cost of building prototypes.
A mathematical analysis facilitates the construction of a
few prototypes whose configurations look most promising.
Equations of motion were...
Until now, most hypertext systems have been implemented on large scale computers. With improvements in microprocessors and development of graphical user interfaces, personal computers can run systems that previously needed the power of a mainframe. The low costs and widespread use of PCs will enable many people to use hypertext...
The main objectives of this study were to determine the
effect of certain environmental conditions on the quantity of poly-galacturonase (PG) produced by V. albo-atrum, and to partially
purify and characterize the PGs produced by this fungus in culture
and in infected tomato plants.
V. albo-atrum produced twenty times as...
