Health care providers, including complementary and alternative medical (CAM) practitioners, exert a significant influence on parental pediatric vaccination decisions. Use of CAM therapies is increasing in Oregon. Concomitantly, there has been a decade-long increase in parental vaccine refusal in Oregon, rising from 1 to 5 percent from 2000-2009. For example,...
Five Ultra light Fabric Reflux Tubes (UFRTs) were tested in a thermal vacuum chamber at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Johnson Space Center in September 1994. These test articles were design and fabricated by staff at the Pacific Northwest Laboratory, operated by Battelle Memorial Institute for the United States...
This is a fundamental study of the mechanism of protein particle
removal during flow through sandy soil. Mathematical models for
diffusion-adsorption and diffusion-convection-adsorption processes
were developed and compared with experimental data. An attempt was
made to calculate the distance over which the adsorption forces act.
The differential equation for the...
The purpose of this study was to determine if significant differences
in each of the ten Structure of Intellect (SOI) abilities
measured on the SOI Screening Form for Gifted exist between students
perceived by teachers as gifted and identified gifted students
overlooked by teachers. The influence of teacher and student...
In chapter 3 of our paper we present equations of motion for continuous mass
distribution subject to hydrodynamic forces in their most general form. We start
with equations for discrete mass particles and then transform the equations so
that it is appropriate for a continuous mass distribution. As we do...
