A study was conducted of the response of the garden symphylan,
Scutigerella immaculata (Newport), to naturally occurring chemicals.
Results of olfactometer studies with plant odors were inconclusive
because air currents in one olfactometer and the shape of another had
undesirable effects on symphylan behavior.
Non-random distributions of symphylans in chambers...

In the present study, five breeds of ewes and their lambs were
utilized. The breeds used were: Border Cheviot, Dorset Horn, Columbia,
Suffolk and Willamette. In all, 31 ewes and 42 lambs were involved.
The blood constituents which were determined for the ewes and
lambs were: acid and alkaline phosphatase,...
The Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) was created in 1972 by the Air Force to serve Air Force enlisted personnel with educational opportunity. No study exists identifying and assessing the mission of this college. Various mission sources iterate the different goals of CCAF. These sources and other indicators...
Recent changes in the historiography of American Transcendentalism
have inspired a reappraisal of the relationship between the Transcendentalist
movement in New England and the pietistic wing of the Unitarian church. This
thesis explores this reappraisal through a close reading of selected writings by
Henry Ware Jr. in juxtaposition to the...
Data were taken, following irradiation exposure to
100r and 300r cumulative dose, on 89 rabbits of three
breeds that vary greatly in body size. Hematological,
intestinal motility, and ear vascularity examinations
were performed. Least square estimates have been obtained and an analysis of variance has been conducted in
order estimate...
An experiment was conducted to examine the responses to
selection for high and low rate of gain in the mouse under a system
whereby inbreeding was maximized. Rate of gain was measured by an
index designed to include gains in both the pre- and postweaning
periods with the gains in...
Relay strip-cropping combines two vegetation management tactics, under-sowing
and strip-management. In this study conducted from 1994 though 1997, a
cover crop seed-mixture containing oats (Avena sativa L. var. "Monida"), common
vetch (Vicia sativa L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), annual ryegrass (Lolium
multflorum Lam.), and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) was...
Studies were directed toward the formulation of a selective
Aeromonas medium that would permit the isolation of Aeromonas
species in the presence of other common bacterial flora. The final
composition of this medium, PBG Agar, in grams per liter, is:
Bacto-peptone, 10; Bacto-beef extract, 10; glycogen, 4; NaCl, 5;
sodium...
In the last 200 years there have been significant declines in the amount and structural complexity of oak-dominated forests and savannahs in the Pacific Northwest. Restoring oak systems often involves selectively thinning stands of oaks in order to reduce competition for sunlight. In choosing which trees to cut, land managers...
