Postsecondary student consumerism : a national Delphi forecast of developments and articulation of policy options

Creator:: Franks, Robert Grover
Abstract:: The purpose of this research, expressed in two coequal parts, was: to establish a forecast of developments and an articulation of policy options vis-a-vis postsecondary student consumerism; and to determine if interest groups of experts differed significantly in their evaluations of the aforementioned developments and policy options. The Delphi technique...

The influence of selected supplementary materials on standardized science achievement scores

Creator:: Frieske, Robert John
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were as follows: (1) to determine if the use of selected supplementary instructional materials, in the form of either computer assisted instruction or additional readings and worksheet presentations, could influence test scores relating to science achievement for fifth grade students, and (2) to determine whether...

Survey of collection analysis practices in public and academic libraries in the United States, and the effect of automation thereon

Creator:: Cochrane, Linda Louise Loomis
Abstract:: This study investigated the practices public and academic library administrators find useful and utilize in analyzing use of collections. The study also investigated administrators' satisfaction with their collection use analysis practices, and the impact they perceived automation to have upon collection use analysis practices. A survey developed for this study...

Influencing fourth grade students' conceptual change about light propagation

Creator:: Hsieh, Jinmeei Kuo
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to examine whether teaching materials designed around fourth graders' preconceptions effectively produced conceptual change about light propagation. Four Taiwanese fourth-grade intact classes (194 subjects), taught by two teachers, participated in this study. The experimental group was exposed to the conceptual change materials (CCM), and...

Filling a rough-mill cutting order using a fuzzy logic controller

Creator:: Anderson, James D.
Abstract:: Because of their high cost, reducing the number of boards used to fill an order of dimension parts is an important goal in a lumber rough mill. FLCO (Fuzzy Logic Cutting Order) is a computer program that achieves this goal. Using the concepts of fuzzy logic control, FLCO provides a...

Trailing Edge Flap Optimization for an Upper-Surface Blown Aircraft Wing

Creator:: Kelly, Bryan R.
Abstract:: Integrated Distributed Electric Augmented Lift (IDEAL) applies upper surface blowing in a novel way to achieve electric short take-off and landing to meet the growing need for urban air transportation. Additional research on propulsion airframe interaction (PAI) with trailing edge flaps at low Reynolds numbers was necessary to advance the...

De novo Discovery of Novel Long Noncoding RNAs in the North American Beaver

Creator:: Kashyap, Amita
Abstract:: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules that are at least 200 nucleotides long and do not encode proteins. lncRNAs have roles in gene regulation, chromatin epigenetics, and molecular scaffolding. In light of mounting evidence implicating species-specific noncoding RNAs and gene regulatory mechanisms in species adaptations, it is reasonable to...

Effects of Perfluorinated Compounds on GnRH Gene Expression in vitro

Creator:: Bathke, Rebecca E.
Abstract:: Perfluorinated chemicals have been widely used in industry for their superior surfactant qualities. Because of their widespread usage and resistance to photolytic and biodegradation mechanisms, as well as their ability to undergo long-range atmospheric transport, these compounds have become ubiquitous in the world-wide water supplies. Of particular interest are perfluorooctanoic...

Development and application of a resource selection model for pygmy rabbits

Creator:: Meisel, Jennifer K.
Abstract:: Pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) in Oregon and Washington are a sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata spp.) obligate species of concern because of declining populations and extirpation from much of their range. Efforts are underway to establish a captive bred population of the Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit in Washington state for reintroduction into...

Does the Source of the Conflict Impact the Effectiveness of River Basin Organizations?

Creator:: Kakhramonov, Vokhidjon
Abstract:: The success or failure of river basin organization (RBO), when they deal with disputes, might rely on the source of conflict along with other factors such as institutional design, legal attributes and conflict resolution mechanism of the organization. However, little attention has been paid to the research which studies a...
