This study was an ethnographic case study of a
Vietnamese unaccompanied minor in a post secondary setting.
There were two guiding questions for the study: (1) How
does the subject perceive language as it relates to
educational experience? (2) What kinds of observable
personality, cognitive, or affective factors have
contributed...
Vaccinia virus infected monkey kidney cells had been previously shown
to have an increased ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase (RR) activity. DNA
from mutant virus resistant to hydroxyurea were digested with restriction
endonucleases and were shown to have substoichiometric amounts of the Hind
III F fragment. Additional information from Southern blotting experiments...
The Thomas Kay Woolen Mill operated between 1890 and 1962. The mill produced predominately woolen blankets and woolen fabrics for outerwear garments. Mission Mill Museum Association purchased the woolen mill after its closure in order to develop the property as a museum. The purpose of this study was to provide...
The Thomas Kay Woolen Mill once manufactured cloth with a
reputation renowned throughout the United States. This study is an
attempt to report the history of the mill. Data are categorized by:
the Kay family; production including plant, machinery, raw materials
used, goods manufactured; management including the effects of
national...
The emerging field of regenerative medicine is mainly approached by two different aspects. First is the use of stem cell based models to generate a suite of differentiated cells for therapeutic applications and the alternative approach is to utilize the non-mammalian models that have the inherent capacity to regenerate their...
The intent of this work is to extend Implicit Monte Carlo Diffusion (IMD)[Gen.
2001] to account for frequency dependence and to incorporate the difference formulation[Szo. 2005] as a source manipulation variance reduction technique. This
work shows the derivation of the probabilities and the associated proofs which
govern the frequency dependent...
Shallow landslides are destructive natural hazards that result in widespread losses, both of infrastructure and lives, throughout the world. To help mitigate the impact of landslide hazards, they are commonly characterized across a regional scale by (1) their location and likelihood using susceptibility maps, (2) their magnitude and frequency using...
Markov chains have long been used to sample from probability distributions and simulate dynamical systems. In both cases we would like to know how long it takes for the chain's distribution to converge to within varepsilon of the stationary distribution in total variation distance; the answer to this is, called...
Lucina floridana is an intertidal clam that contains intracellular, sulfur-oxidizing
symbiotic bacteria in its gills. These bacteria are chemolithoautotrophic, using the energy
from the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds to power carbon fixation. Although
sulfide is an energy-rich compound, it is also toxic to aerobic metabolism and autooxidizes
in the...
The daily urinary excretion of taurine was studied in six women,
22 to 36 years old. Five subjects collected 24-hour urine specimens
for 10 days, and another for 37 days. The subjects were free from
any known metabolic disorder. They consumed their normal diet.
Urinary taurine was determined by the...
