The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the
Delphi Technique on two types of judgment; factual judgment and value
judgment. Other considerations were the effect of the process on
mean response and variability of response.
In testing the Delphi Technique this study arrived at five
definite...
Wheat is the major crop produced on the Anatolian Plateau of Turkey. Annual weeds cause large yields reductions in the wheat crop. Several formulations of 2, 4-D and mixtures of 2, 4-D and 2,4, 5-T are the only materials currently available for use in Turkey on wheat. The objective of...
Measurements on growth traits up to 41 years of age
from 68 progeny sites in eight first-generation breeding
zones of coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii
[MIRB.] FRANCO var. menziesii) in the US Pacific Northwest
were used to investigate age trends of genetic parameters
and to determine optimum age of selection. Heritabilities...
Many public opinion surveys indicate that patients desire an open dialogue on spirituality/religion with their physicians. What role does spirituality play in the physician/patient relationship and in what contexts do these conversations arise? What do physicians think about the appropriateness of such discussions? Because the role of spirituality in clinical...
Avian encephalomyelitis virus-infected chick embryo homogenate
was precipitated with polyethyleneglycol 6000 (PEG), extracted
with fluorocarbon, concentrated by ultrafiltration, and purified by
isopycnic gradient centrifugation. The physical and chemical properties
of the purified virus were studied. The examination of purified
avian encephalomyelitis virus (AEV) with electron microscopy using
negative stain revealed...
In recent years the types of engineering data accumulated by many telemetry systems have become so diversified and complex, and
the environment in which these systems operate has become so restricting
that telemetry systems with increased capabilities and decreased
size are becoming a necessity. Advances in integrated circuitry
techniques satisfy...
