Bridgeoporus nobilissimus (W.B. Cooke) Volk, Burdsall, & Ammirati (BRNO) is a Survey and Manage fungi species listed under the Northwest Forest Plan. Perennial sporocarps (conks) fruit on large, dying and dead conifers in late-successional old-growth forests and on remnant stumps and snags in young and mature second-growth forests of the...
Needle length in young ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws var. ponderosa) was assessed for its ability to estimate site quality of afforested land in Neuquén, Argentina. The objective was to determine the best aspect on the tree, number of needle age classes, and number of trees that would...
Laboratory incubation studies and field studies with sweet corn
and onions were undertaken to evaluate interactions of lime,
phosphorus (P), and copper (Cu). Eight soils were incubated at a
constant temperature of 21 °C with combinations of band placed
monocalcium phosphate (MCP), ammonium sulfate (AmS), and copper
sulfate pentahydrate (CSPH)...
This thesis undertakes an examination of Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel, The Handmaid’s Tale, as a layering of genres. A futuristic dystopia that imagines late twentieth-century America as having fallen into neo-Puritanism and totalitarianism following widespread infertility and violence, The Handmaid’s Tale invites contemplation of various forms of fundamentalism, radicalism, and...
Professional software developers do not test code adequately, even though testing tools are widely available. Until developers realize the deficiencies in their tests, inadequate testing of software seems likely to remain a major problem. To support developers writing tests, industry and researchers have proposed systems that visualize “testedness” for end-user...
Programmers spend a substantial fraction of their debugging time by navigating
through source code, yet little is known about how programmers navigate. With the
continuing growth in size and complexity of software, this fraction of time is likely to
increase, which presents challenges to those seeking both to understand and...
The purpose of this study was to document the development of pre-service teachers' Technology Specific Pedagogy as they learned to teach mathematics with technology during their initial licensure program. The study investigated the pre-service teachers' learning using both a social and a psychological perspective of teacher learning. Two research questions...
The visual programming language Forms/3 currently uses a graphical user interface implemented in Garnet. Garnet was developed by the User Interface Software Group in the Human Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, but is no longer supported. This paper presents an implementation of a user interface for Forms/3 written...
The purpose of this study was to investigate Peer Collaborative
Mentoring (PCM) as a professional development model for international
graduate teaching assistants at an American university. Data were gathered
from interviews and observations of three American peer mentors
(Intracultural Peer Mentors/IAPMs), five Chinese Graduate Teaching
Assistants (Intercultural Peer Mentors/IEPMs), and...
