The major historical studies that have examined American
biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at
the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the
descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than
important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application
of...
In their modern context questions of heredity have come to be
closely aligned with theories of evolution because all such theories
require the presence of heritable variation. Thus the need for an
understanding of a source of variation and a mechanism for its inheritance
became very apparent with the general...

Currently there is a lack of documentation on the
types of teaching methods being used to teach elementary
mathematics in Saudi Arabia, To help meet this need, this
research project studied the verbal behavior of Saudi
Arabian elementary mathematics teachers. A two-fold
problem was addressed.
1. To obtain a description...
A key problem faced by managers is how to allocate scarce resources
among activities or projects. Linear programming, or LP, is a method of
allocating resources in an optimal way. It is one of the most widely used operations research (OR) tools. It has been used successfully as a decision...

The focus of this study was junior-level
mathematics students' perception of proof and its
relationship to achievement. The following
problems were investigated:
1) nature of perception of proof of
undergraduate mathematics students who have
enrolled in Advanced Calculus;
2) relationship between students' perception
of selected aspects of proof and their...
A key problem managers face is how to allocate scarce
resources among various activities or projects. Linear
programming, or LP, is a method of allocating resources
in an optimal way. It is one of the most widely used operations
research tools and has been a decision making aid in almost...
Small rivers, such as those that line the Oregon coast, have been shown to deliver significant concentrations of suspended sediments and nutrients to estuaries and the coastal ocean during wet seasons during which winds are predominantly downwelling-favorable. The fate of the buoyant source water and of any suspended or dissolved...
Barth's theory of transactional analysis is applied to the
community of Tiller, Oregon and its reaction to a development proposal.
Community behavior patterns vis-a-vis the development proposal are
examined from a processual point of view to determine how these
patterns are generated.
The community's history and contemporary situation are described....
The public controversy over possible health hazards from radioactive fallout from atomic bomb testing began in 1954, shortly after a thermonuclear test by the United States spread fallout world wide. In the dissertation, I address two of the fundamental questions of the fallout controversy: Was there a threshold of radiation...
