The turbulent interchange of matter between parallel adjacent
subchannels in a simulated rod bundle for single phase flow was investigated
to determine the effects of mass flow rate and rod spacing.
The simulated rod bundle was made by placing six 1-inch diameter
rods in a square-square array. The overall test...
Attitude and knowledge levels of physical education teachers about working with Mexican American students and families were measured using Doyle and Chng's (1994) Mexican American Attitude and Knowledge Scale (MAAKS). Multicultural training, adapted physical education training, and other relative experiences that might affect attitude and knowledge levels were analyzed.
Participants...
This study evaluates the feasibility of retrofitting a rotary
dryer to a hog fuel boiler, using the boiler exhaust gases as the
drying medium.
Two simulation models were developed. As substantiated by experimental
measurement of existing boiler/dryer systems, each model
accurately predicts system performance given site-specific parameters
such as boiler...
Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum [L] Gaertm), an introduced bunchgrass, has been seeded on over 5 million hectares of degraded rangeland in western North America because it establishes more readily than native bunchgrasses. Because crested wheatgrass stands are associated with native species displacement and low biological diversity, there is substantial interest...
Reestablishing native perennial vegetation in annual grass-invaded rangelands is critical to restoring ecosystems, especially following wildfires. Controlling invasive annual grasses is essential to increasing revegetation success; however, pre-emergent herbicides used to control annual grasses prohibit immediate seeding due to non-target herbicide damage. Thus, seeding is often delayed one year following...
The purpose of this study was to explore relationships between
clothing interest and body awareness, between clothing interest and
selected demographic variables for college men and women, and between
body awareness and selected demographic variables for college men and
women.
To assess these relationships two measures were used. Body
awareness,...
Two standardized land classification systems designed for use
with remote sensor data were studied comparatively. One of tile
classification systems is proposed for review and testing in U. S. 0.S.
Circular 671 (Legend I) (Anderson et al., 1972); the other is a hierarchial
legend system in use since 1968 (Legend...
The purpose of this study was to determine what levels of community satisfaction
and personal and household characteristics would result in a model of retirees and pre-retirees
and their propensity to move. This study assessed the relationship between certain
socio-demographic variables and feelings of overall satisfaction as well as satisfaction...
