Chlorinated phenols are toxic compounds and often released into natural
environments from improper disposal or non-point sources. One important factor in
assessing the environmental fate and transport is the rates of microbial degradation in
soils and natural waters. In this study, eight chlorophenols (4-chlorophenol (4-CP),
2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), 3,4-dichlorophenol (3,4-DCP), 3,5-dichlorophenol...
For adult learners to succeed in their educational endeavors, adult educators and event planners must meet their needs and goals (Storksdieck, Ellenbogen, & Heimlich, 2005). The learning environment affects how adults learn and what outcomes they achieve (e.g., Hamilton & Tee, 2010; Knowles, 1990; Lim, Morris, & Kupritz, 2007; Young,...
Most metal ions have negative impacts on pulp mill operations. The concentrations of metal ions on pulp fibers and in washwaters rise significantly with increased wastewater recycling. The development of technology to remove these metal ions requires an understanding of how metal ions are bound to pulp components. It is...
Humans have always been fascinated with whales; from prominent features in mythology, to stories of terrifying monsters on the high seas, to globalized utility, to symbolic wildness and radical environmentalism, to figures and statistics, how have human relationships with whales been understood throughout time? Because humans have a need to...
Transformative learning networks are a specific type of loose network with geographically distributed members and member organizations. They hold particular promise for transformation when both top-down and bottom-up processes have failed to support desired systems-level change. The aim of this dissertation is to build knowledge about the social-interactional processes, roles,...
A growth model is developed for coho salmon which accounts for
temperatures and feeding rates typically encountered in fish hatchery
operation. Feeding rates utilized by the model ranged from
maintenance to maximum utilizable rations. The model is derived from
an empirical equation for maximum growth rate, and a theoretical
equation...
