This study explored the influence of motivations on the volunteer experience. The relationship among motivations. volunteer satisfaction, acceptance and support of the organizational goals, and outcomes of success in the volunteer role (pattern of participation and ombudsman effectiveness) were explored using Multiple Linear Regression analyses. Motivational Systems Theory (Ford, 1992)...
Frequent and regular contact will help you develop a positive relationship with your grandchildren. Visits give you a chance to spend time together—with and without your grandchildren’s parents—getting to know each other’s interests and stories. Planning will help you make the most of your visits with your grandchildren.
Grandparents give gifts for many different reasons and in many different ways. Some want to honor special occasions and accomplishments with things of value. Some want to encourage their grandchildren to have fun. Others choose gifts that help grandchildren learn about their family or cultural history. Some are satisfied to...
The researcher explored interpersonal trust (a construct from the fields of psychology
and sociometry) in the context of engineering work groups. The study explored the potential
antecedents of trust and the relationships among trust, creativity, communication, emotional
empathy and positive affect. The study attempts to argue that 1) trust is...
The bioavailability of chemical compounds in the marine environment fundamentally influences the growth and physiology of microorganisms. Organic and inorganic chemicals that are produced by some marine plankton can be consumed by other plankton for energy production, growth, or to initiate essential physiological processes. Cultures of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana,...
Diatoms play a major role in ocean biogeochemical cycles and are important tools in bioengineering for natural products and nanotechnology. Diatoms and other algae growing at varying resource-limited growth rates allocate carbon to different metabolic pathways to optimize growth; however, the molecular mechanisms controlling these pathway gating strategies are not...
Synechococcus is one of the most abundant groups of primary producers in the marine environment. They play a crucial role in the food web by being the main source of alimentary energy to many marine organisms that contribute to human nutriments. The ability of Synechococcus to use light as a...
Photosynthetic energy allocation strategies were investigated in the marine diatom, Thalassiosira pseudonana, grown under a wide range of light limitation. Steady-state, continuous cultures were established at three light-limited growth rates. Simultaneous measurements of photosynthetic activity were made that targeted different points in photosynthetic energy flow from gross to net photosynthesis....

In cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton) cultivation, farmers typically rent colonies of honey bee (Apis mellifera) for pollination. However, the efficiency of this bee at pollinating cranberries in Oregon, as in other regions, is questionable. Bumble bees (Bombus sp.) are reportedly effective in other regions, but their impact in Oregon is...
