Performance measurement and management (PMM) are functions used in many organizations to monitor and manage the activities of an organization. Although these functions are widely understood and applied across many types of industries and within a variety of contexts, there is no standardized terminology due to the multidisciplinary nature of...
This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on the impacts of nuclear energy on the economy and energy security of select European countries. While previous literature has identified a connection between nuclear energy and economic growth, this study focuses on assessing the comparative effects of nuclear energy, measured by operable...
An attempt has been made to elucidate the biosynthetic precursor
of ethylene in the mold P. digitatum. By application of basic
radiotracer methodology and the utilization of several specifically
labeled radiochemical substrates, it has been possible to demonstrate
that the internal carbon atoms of C-4 dicarboxylic acids such
as succinate,...
The study investigates relations among Norwegian-American
ethnicity, ownership of ethnic articles, and selected other factors.
Articles include clothing, textiles, and certain household objects.
Hypotheses were drawn predicting relations between ethnic
article ownership and ethnicity as expressed by ethnic practices and
attitudes, and between ethnic article ownership and generation in
America...
Existing methods for the estimation of relative participation of
glucose catabolic pathways make use of yield data of respiratory
¹⁴CO₂ or intermediary ¹⁴C products derived from glucose substrates
specifically labeled with ¹⁴C. Cumulative yields of respiratory
¹⁴CO₂ observed at the end of time course of complete substrate
utilization are analyzed...
Oceanic plankton have both a large impact on our oceans health and atmo- spheric balance of Co2. The overall health of planktonic life is determined by many physical, chemical, and ecological factors, that drive taxonomic abundances and the relative amount of non-living biomass called detritus. Recent advances in microscopic imaging...
A net shift analysis was used to analyze growth in employment
and value added from 1954 to 1982 in SIC 2037, Frozen Fruits, Fruit
Juices, and Vegetables. This analysis indicated that the Pacific
Northwest dominated the growth experienced in this sector over this
time period. Oregon's share of total U.S....
Interannual to decadal variations in Earth global temperature estimates have often been identified with El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. However, we show that variability on time scales of 2-15 years in mean annual global land surface temperature anomalies T-avg are more closely correlated with variability in sea surface temperatures...
