Historically, researchers have used surveys, focus groups, and anecdotal evidence to evaluate consumer response to environmentally certified, ecolabeled forest products. These methods generally measure consumer attitudes toward certified forest products. Since the strength of the correlation between attitudes
and behavior has long been questioned, consumer response to certified forest products...
Solutions to the variable permeability magnetostatic field
problem are achieved in both rectangular and cylindrical coordinates
for a wide variety of magnet geometries. The resulting
difference equations are solved iteratively and a method is
provided which substantially increases the rate of convergence
for these type of problems. Magnetization curves for...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether one ear
of a profoundly deaf student could duplicate a response rate
similar to the response rate achieved by the opposite ear on an
auditory training program. The formal hypothesis of this study
was: a student that reaches criterion level of...
From a landscape ecology perspective, meadows are often seen as landscapes in
transition. Succession and change in meadows may be investigated by considering the
physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the landscape through time. What is
often unknown is how changes occur and how physical and anthropogenic factors
contribute to...
The rocky shores of the US West Coast are home to diverse ecological communities made up of species that are uniquely adapted for survival at the harsh boundary between land and sea. Even so, physical or environmental stressors regularly kill swaths of animals on the rocks. This is called disturbance....
