This exploratory study examined whether temperament, home environment, and family stress impact the amount of prosocial behavior displayed by pre-school age low-income children and examined how much of an impact each factor has. Each factor was explored in depth along sub-scale dimensions including, (1) self-regulatory temperament, negative reactive temperament, and...
The fashion industry is becoming increasingly unsustainable. Overconsumption of clothing, exacerbated by fast fashion, is worsening the environmental impact of both the production and disposal of clothing. Clothing reuse, particularly thrifting, is gaining popularity, yet most donated clothes still never get sold. I have developed a plan for a small...
Achondroplastic dwarf men and women find it difficult to acquire
clothing that fits well. Their major problem is that their torso is
long in relationship to the length of their arms and legs, but other
physical problems do enter into the selection and construction of
clothing. The multiplicity of their...
The wind field measured during Project JASIN 1972, a joint
British-American venture during September 1972, was analyzed.
These measurements were done, with equipment manufactured by
Ivar Aanderaa of Bergen, Norway, on large, anchored toroid buoys.
The results of the analysis of the wind field, which included
divergence and vorticity estimates...
Water quality impacts both human and ecosystem health. Many pharmaceuticals and personal care products are considered contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) due to their bioactive properties. Among these, metformin—the most commonly prescribed drug for treatment of type 2 diabetes—has been reported at high concentrations (μg L⁻¹) in stream, lake, and...
The leaching of water soluble phenolic compounds from
cold stressed Rhododendron leaves was found to be a reliable
indicator of tissue damage. In sublethally stressed leaf
tissues, more and novel phenolic compounds appeared and were
hypothesized to be precursors of cell wall components such
as lignin and suberin. Subsequent radiolabeling...
In This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, and several of his short stories, F. Scott Fitzgerald questions the importance of wealth as a factor in supporting happiness and fostering the American Dream on an individual basis. With these texts, Fitzgerald acknowledges that wealth is a factor and, simultaneously, a...
The purpose of this research was to determine if there were any relationships between measured personality traits and vocational interests between the Adult Learner with Learning Disabilities (ALLD) and without Learning Disabilities (ALNLD). Instruments utilized to measure personality traits and vocational interests included the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the
effect of teachers' behaviors and characteristics upon the
development of student mathematical critical thinking
skills. From a pool of 20 teachers, whose students had
been pre- and post-tested for a measure of critical thinking
skills, 10 middle level teachers were selected...
The relationship of sapwood basal area to basal area was examined on stands of young-growth Douglas-fir. Through non-destructive sampling, sapwood basal area was quantified on four different thinning intensities and one control (unthinned) treatment. Emphasis was on testing a sampling method and evaluating variations in the sapwood component as a...
