A study was performed to assess the uptake and retention patterns
of cesium-134 in the gray-tailed vole, Microtus canicaudus Miller. To
furnish a realistic source of contaminated food for the voles, wheat
seedlings were raised in hydroponic solutions to provide radiocesium
labeled wheat clippings. The hydroponic system was designed to...
Seasonally, in 1998 and 1999, I examined spatial and temporal variation in fish assemblages of agricultural, forested, and acid mine drainage tributaries within the Wayne National Forest (WNF) in southern Ohio. Land use and natural disturbance explained patterns in stream fish assemblages. Creek chub and green sunfish were present in...
Four-fold partially purified glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
(G-6-PDH) from the obligately psychrophilic marine bacterium
Vibrio marinus was effected by thermally induced leakage of the
enzyme, ammonium sulfate fractionation and column chromatography
on Sephadex G-200 gel.
The effects of temperature, pressure, salinity, and pH were
determined for the various degrees of enzyme purity....
The Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) was created in 1972 by the Air Force to serve Air Force enlisted personnel with educational opportunity. No study exists identifying and assessing the mission of this college. Various mission sources iterate the different goals of CCAF. These sources and other indicators...

Under the auspices of a United Stated Department of Education National
Workplace Literacy Program grant, the Columbia-Willamette Skill Builders, a community
college consortium, developed a prototype workplace educator training program in 1994.
The Skill Builders workplace educator training program was 9 months long and offered 90
hours of instruction, including...
A study of the population dynamics and ecology of the fleas
associated with the gray-tailed vole, Microtus canicaudus Miller, was
conducted on three sites surrounding the city of Corvallis, Oregon.
Over a period of 12 months, 22,641 adult and larval fleas representing
three families and eight species were recovered from...
