The central purpose of this study was to examine the
attitudes of non-disabled college students toward their
developmentally disabled peers attending the same college.
Specifically, it examined the attitudes of non-disabled
students toward the developmentally disabled students in the
Transitional/Vocational Program the Fairview campus of
Fairview College, Alberta, Canada.

The determinants of electrical energy demand for the State of
Oregon are represented in a mathematical model. This model is
structured to operate in parallel with a computer simulation model of
the state and is utilized independently to investigate electrical energy
consumption during various scenarios of economic activity and energy...
As the Internet has radically changed modern life, much attention has been paid to the outcomes produced by the diffusion of online access. In the modern economy, reliable Internet access is a crucial tool offering better access to information and opportunities, increasing work efficiency, and facilitating personal connection, leaving those...
Propose a sampling plan to determine Hg contamination in the Nanay river basin.
The sampling plan is for a feasibility pilot, to investigate whether it is possible to safely collect samples for Hg analyses. Future studies will build on these initial results.
The modern world has presented many threats to the health and stability of ecosystems worldwide. One of the most biodiverse ecosystems, coral reefs, faces particularly strong pressures, and is already declining rapidly in complexity and area. Although the stressors that affect reefs are diverse, ranging from nutrient pollution to overfishing,...
The authors present inferences of diapycnal diffusivity from a compilation of over 5200 microstructure
profiles. As microstructure observations are sparse, these are supplemented with indirect measurements of
mixing obtained from (i) Thorpe-scale overturns from moored profilers, a finescale parameterization applied to
(ii) shipboard observations of upper-ocean shear, (iii) strain as...
We examine the utility of the uranium (U) content of planktonic foraminifera tests as an indicator of past changes in seawater U content. The U/Ca ratio in foraminifera from Atlantic and Caribbean cores in constant in the Holocene and decreases by ~25% during the last glacial period. Magnesium/calcium (Mg/Ca) ratios...
