One of the most explosive social forces of modern-day society
is the phenomenon of urban intrusion into predominantly rural areas.
The recentness of this "explosion" has not yet allowed for a crystallization
of conceptual clearity as to just where this sector or
zone, which has come to be known as...
Data were gathered on the life history of the pile perch
(Rhacochilus vacca) from Yaquina Bay, Oregon, between April,
1966, and July, 1967. Pile perch feed on the bottom and consume
mostly molluscs, barnacles and decapod crustaceans. Food habits
varied among seasons and locations within the bay, whereas the
diet...
Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy was used to monitor the effects of
varying ionic strength on nucleosome core particle structure. Two main methods were
used in these studies. First, the fluorescence anisotropy decay of bound ethidium was
measured and was shown to reflect the rotational tumbling of the core particle through
solution,...
With increasing computing power, it is possible to process more complex fluid simulations. However, a gap between increasing
data size and our ability to visualize them still remains. Despite the great amount of progress that has been made in the field of
flow visualization over the last two decades, a...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the student personnel
services rendered at a public two-year community college. The institution
chosen for the study was Lethbridge Community College, located
in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.
Six hundred and one people, representing seven population groups,
were randomly selected for participation in this...
The rhetorical significance of Mormonism stems from its history and its success—this success being measured by its consistent increase in membership. The total membership of the Mormon Church has grown from 6 members in 1830 to just over 14 million in just over 180 years. A consistently high rate of...
The education (particularly graduate education) of Americans
who were active in astronomical research between 1876 and 1941
is assessed for its effectiveness in preparing the astronomers for
careers in research. This period contains three dynamic changes:
the growth of American astronomy in becoming the world's leading
community of astronomers, the...
The hepatotoxicity of CB was studied in the Sprague-Dawley rat and rainbow trout. In rats, an ip dosage of 9.8 mmol/kg CB (~̲ LD10) produced evidence of liver toxicity over a 72 hr time course. Sulfobromophthalein (BSP) retention maximized 3-16 hr post treatment and normalized after 72 hr whereas plasma...
The purpose of this study was to determine if significant
relationships exist among terminal values, demographic variables and
health care preferences for information and behavioral involvement for
graduate students from the People's Republic of China and Taiwan.
The Rokeach Value Survey and the Krantz Health Opinion Survey
were used to...
The Late Spring Secondary Precipitation Maximum in the
Interior Pacific Northwest results from a complex system of climatic
controls. The Secondary Maximum is most strongly developed over the
high plateau of Oregon immediately in the lee of the Cascade
Mountains. Local topographic
organization exerts strong control
over the magnitude and...
