Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships
between modern and traditional schools and children's self-concepts.
In order to do this, it was necessary to describe and define the
phenomenon "self-concept" as used in education and to describe what the
author meant by modern...
Coastal multi-hazards, i.e., earthquakes followed by tsunamis, induce severe damage to coastal infrastructure. The multi-hazards can cause soil liquefaction, which is one of the major concerns for evaluating sediments transport potential and structure failure mechanisms. The objectives for this work is threefold. First, to build and validate a soil numerical...
The problems facing our nation's public schools today cannot
be divorced from our enthusiasm for technology and the positive
relationship we believe it shares with our perception of progress.
Based on the second law of thermodynamics, the law of entropy,
author Jeremy Rifkin argues that the development of increasingly
"efficient"...
Tides in the Delaware Bay (USA) have been modeled from 7000 years before present (7 ka) to the present day and for selected future sea-level rise scenarios (100 years, 300 years). Historic bathymetries were constructed through use of glacial isostatic adjustment models and a very high spatial resolution (< 100...
Cyanobacteria represent an underexploited source of bioactive natural products of interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Lack of development of these compounds as drug leads is due mainly to myriad practical problems with the producing strains including long doubling times, genetic intractability, and low compound yields. Previous attempts at heterologous expression...
The results of experiments conducted in 1957 and 1958 to
isolate the cause of post-transportation mortalities among hatchery-reared
rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson, in Oregon are
reported. Although death rate varies greatly, the average loss
occurring from one to seven days following liberation has been estimated
to be ten percent...
The Ratio Mountain Quadrangle is located in Southwest Montana, East of the city of
Butte. This quadrangle features two major geologic units; the Elkhorn Mountain
Volcanics, a series of several ignimbrites of varying composition, and the Boulder
Batholith, a large granite pluton that rose through the EMV. Previous studies in...
Populations of organisms are influenced by both top-down (predator driven) and bottom-up (environment or resource driven) effects. Seabird research has largely focused on bottom-up factors influencing reproduction, with little emphasis on top-down. Our goal was to better understand top-down impacts on colonial nesting seabirds over a range of spatio-temporal scales....
