The purpose of this study was to determine the importance and
the frequency of use of certain communication skills to job-entrylevel
mechanics as assessed by employers, educators at various levels,
and entry-level industrial mechanics. The study was conducted in
Lane County, Oregon. Communication skills investigated for importance
and for frequency...
This investigation was designed to determine the
relationship of student teachers' commitment to the set
of values, attitudes, and behaviors that are characteristically
fostered and rewarded by bureaucratic organizations
and their verbal classroom behavior under actual
teaching conditions,
The purpose of the study was expressed by the
formulation of an...
In this dissertation, we investigate three numerical methods for inverting the Laplace transform. These methods are all based on the trapezoidal-type approximations to the Bromwich integral. The first method is the direct integration method: It is a straightforward application of the trapezoidal rule to the Bromwich integral, followed by convergence...
The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable
instrument to measure the organizational climate of the community
college as perceived by community college administrators, faculty, and
classified staff.
There were three phases in this study. The first was to develop a

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the potential erosion
impacts associated with ship movements in confined waters. The flow
associated with a ship passage can be separated accordingly: (1) the
propeller wake, (2) flow about the hull, and (3) associated waves.
Each of these areas has been analyzed...
A comparative study was made of Pinus ponderosa Laws, and
Arceuthobium campylopodum Engelm. f . campylopodum to determine
(1) whether or not the parasite or parasitized tissues accumulate
abnormal concentrations of minerals, (2) whether or not there
was evidence of a blockage of mineral translocation in the phloem
because of...
Avian encephalomyelitis virus-infected chick embryo homogenate
was precipitated with polyethyleneglycol 6000 (PEG), extracted
with fluorocarbon, concentrated by ultrafiltration, and purified by
isopycnic gradient centrifugation. The physical and chemical properties
of the purified virus were studied. The examination of purified
avian encephalomyelitis virus (AEV) with electron microscopy using
negative stain revealed...
