Literature on classroom management asserts that the best discipline is preventive, with studies on teacher variables such as empathy or enforcement of consequences, as well as student variables such as peers reporting positive behaviors with group contingencies, among others. However, there is little in the research that specifically targets regular...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether knowledge
beneficial to an organization operating under normal conditions could
be gained by studying a manufacturing plant operating with salaried
personnel during a labor strike. It was hypothesized that no difference
in productivity would exist between the strike work force study...
1S801 is a transposable element isolated from Pseudomonas syringae pathovar
(pv.) phaseolicola, the causal agent of halo blight of bean. Fragments of the element are
present in multiple copies on an indigenous plasmid, pMMC7105, of strain LR781, and
have been implicated as sites of homologous recombination leading to imprecise
excision...
Obesity is a complex multifactorial disease resulting from excessive energy intake compared to energy expenditure. The excess energy is mostly stored as fat in enlarged adipocytes, but some lipids may infiltrate other organs such as the liver to form ectopic fat. Adipose tissue and ectopic fat produce and secrete a...
Electrophoretic karyotypes were obtained from intact cells of four wild
type strains of Tilletia caries and T. controversa, and 5 inter specific hybrid
progeny using clamped homogeneous electric field, pulsed field gel
electrophoresis (CHEF PFGE). Each karyotype was polymorphic and unique
relative to the other strains. However, the relative size...
This report is an update of shellfish investigations from January to August in 1951. It includes (among other things) criticism of human pollution such as lumber mill dust and human sewage, particularly in the Yaquina Bay area, discussion of a proposed experimental closure of the Nehalem Bay area to crab...
Video Respite (VR) is a series of videotapes designed to capture long-term memory and maintain the attention of patients with Alzheimer's Disease. The purpose of this study was to determine whether VR viewing significantly affects the behavior of cognitively impaired nursing home residents. Specifically, repeated measures ANOVA and paired t-tests...
Six plant pathogenic isolates of Pseudomonas
syringae pv. glycinea, the causal agent of bacterial
blight of Glycine max (L.) Merrill, and one isolate of
P. syringae pv. phaseolicola, the causal agent of halo
blight of Phaseolus vulgaris L., have been examined for
the presence of circular duplex deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA)....
