sample group consisted of 47 low income high school students
attending the 1978 Summer Upward Bound program at Oregon
State University. Participants were randomly...
Mounting inflationary economic pressures and the obvious spiralling costs of education, at all levels, has drastically augmented public, administrative, and government concern regarding the effectiveness of many educational training programs. Secretarial Science, which is designed to provide occupational-level training represents such a program. Therefore, this study was conducted in order...
In recent years, many studies have focused on the molecular and biochemical mechanisms regulating the development of wine grapes. The course of grape berry development is directed by genetic design and is mediated by phytohormones, which regulate grape berry growth and development by orchestrating a complex network of interacting genes,...
Freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) acclimated yearling coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, were subjected to severe confinement stress in FW, SW, or a medium (1/3 SW) that was approximately isosmotic to the fish's blood. Chronic stress caused osmotic imbalances in FW and SW, but not in 1/3 SW. In SW, blood...
This was an experimental study designed to compare the effectiveness
of computer-assisted laboratory instruction to teacher-assisted
laboratory instruction based on student achievement in Elementary
Business Statistics. Computer-assisted laboratory materials and an
Elementary Business Statistics achievement test were evaluated.
Procedures
The setting of this experiment was at Southern Oregon State
College,...
Waste water lagoons have been used as a satisfactory means of
treating domestic and certain industrial wastes in many parts of the
country. Many of the parameters that govern the applicability of this
type of treatment process are climatic in nature, and critical evaluation
of local climatic conditions, as well...
This research was conducted to compare the performance of
community college students to four -year institutional students both
of which were enrolled in one of three different programs of general
college chemistry for nonscience majors during the 1967 -68 academic
year. The three programs were defined as follows:
Program A...
