The problem of dropouts in engineering schools is an important
one. This study examined the factors which affect dropouts in
schools of engineering. Do these factors operate differently for
students who do all their work at one institution than they do for
students who transfer into the school of engineering...
The use of CIPC (isopropyl N-(3-chlorophenyl) carbamate) to
control dodder (Cuscuta spp.) in alfalfa is an established practice. A
rate of six pounds per acre applied to moist soil has given good dodder
control lasting from four to six weeks.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect...
L. C. Dunn (1893-1974) spent most of his scientific career conducting research in
developmental genetics as a member of the Zoology Department at Columbia
University in the City of New York. He had an accomplished scientific career
researching mutations in mice, which earned him respect from other geneticists and
scientists....
The purpose of this research was to determine if differences
existed in mathematical skills needed for entry-level employment in
selected electricity-electronics occupations in Oregon. The four
primary objectives of the study were to:
1. Identify mathematical skills from task analyses of key
electricity-electronics occupations.
2. Validate the identified mathematical skills....
Three species of bacteriophagous nematodes, Pristionchus
lheritieri (Maupas) Paramanov, Pelodera chitwoodi (Bassen)
Dougherty and Rhabditis sp. were studied to determine their potential
roles as vectors of selected insect pathogens, Bacillus thuringiensis
Berliner, Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, Metarrhizium
anisopliae (Metchnikoff) Sorokin and a nuclear polyhedrosis
virus of Trichoplusia ni Hubner.
