A case study of the Eugene Water and Electric Board's planning
for the Minto Hydroelectric is examined in terms of social movement
theory. It is hypothesized that public works projects have a significant
likeness to a social movement and they conform in their
essential ingredients to social movement explanations. The...
The lag phase, the specific growth rate, the minimum a [subscript w]
required for growth and the temperature characteristic of
Fsendomonas fluorescens, Brochothrix thermosphacta, Salmonella
typhlmurium, Streptococcus faecalis and, Staphylococcus aureus
have been studied in liquid model media under controlled temperature
and a [subscript w] conditions. The results show that...
Adventitious root formation can be inhibited in stem cuttings
of Pisum sativum L. (pea), an easy-to-root species, if the apical
and lateral buds are removed. Application of exogenous auxin to
the apical stump can replace the rooting stimulus produced by the
buds. Root number was reduced by 50 to 100%...
PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to identify a set of core competencies needed to meet the minimal requirements for high school graduation and to test their level of acceptance by administrators, counselors, teachers and parents in 50 Oregon secondary school districts. PROCEDURES: Utilizing the 1136 existing graduation competencies...
PURPOSE – The purpose of this article is to provide a vision for how academic libraries can assume a more central role in a future where Open Access publishing has become the predominant model for disseminating scholarly research articles.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH – The authors analyze existing trends related to Open Access...
First Ladies have performed a variety of public and private roles, from presidential escort, hostess, and social advocate to policy maker and presidential advisor. The nature of the position has always been both traditional and gendered, greatly influencing each First Lady's performance. Due to the changing role of women in...
It is necessary to evaluate and compare the characteristics of
various methods of accessing data-files in order to utilize economically
both the hardware and the software (Space and Time) supported
by the digital on-line system. The purpose of this paper is to
describe and evaluate the structure and use of...
Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) is an effective
foliar-applied herbicide with broad-spectrum activity. Greenhouse
and laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the
importance of soil moisture, autoclaved soil, soil type, sphagnum
peat, soil pH, added phosphorus, and plant residues on crop
establishment and growth when glyphosate was applied before
emergence of the crop....
The incorporation of europium and dysprosium in potassium
chloride crystals was investigated. The crystals were prepared by
the Kyropoulos method from melts containing the rare-earth chlorides.
The concentration of these rare-earth ions in the crystals was determined
by neutron-activation analysis. The distribution coefficient of
europium and dysprosium between the molten...
