Nearly 100 chondrules were extracted from -8.6g of the
Mokoia (CV3) meteorite and have been analyzed by
sequential instrumental neutron activation analysis
(INAA). The resulting data were utilized in a
comprehensive statistical characterization of these
objects and, unlike similar investigations, virtually no
loss of relevant data was incurred due to...
On February 9th, 2014 Michael Sam stated in an interview with ESPN's "Outside the Lines" that he is gay. Since he was drafted, Sam will become the first ever openly gay player in NFL history. The following study aims to explore ESPN's coverage of Michael Sam, with a goal of...
Reactor refueling is a computationally intensive
problem solving process that requires automation since
significant resources are expended upon the search for
an optimal core loading. Without imposing some
constraints upon the configurations investigated, an
extremely large number of prototype loadings may be
generated without discovery of an improved loading. As...
The need to detect trace amounts of target molecules is great, particularly when it comes to biosensing. With the early detection of a disease, the odds of the successful treatment of an individual increases significantly. To enhance the capability of biomolecular detection, we have created an optical biosensor capable of...
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between
the similarity of food preferences among parents and children,
and parent attitudes.
Thirty-five children of preschool ages and their parents served
as subjects for this study. All children were enrolled in preschool
programs established by the = Family Life...
Eleven sedimentary and volcanic rock units are mapped and described in the thesis area, and chronicle the dynamic geologic history of the Tillamook embayment from the Oligocene through the middle Mlocene. The
oldest unit is the Zemorrian to early Saucesian Smuggler Cove formation, a bathyal tuffaceous mudstone with some thin-...
The effects of a school-based social-emotional and character development program, Positive Action, on the developmental trajectory of character development was evaluated using data from three randomized trials. Results come from 1) 4-years of data from elementary children in 20 Hawai`i schools, 2) 3-years of data from elementary children in 14...
The relationship between self-concept and teacher competency
was examined among 29 female college students enrolled in a
beginning-level practicum of a preschool-teacher training program.
The Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS) and the Preschool Teacher
Competency Rating Scale (PTCRS) were used to assess the subjects'
self-concepts and teacher competencies at the...
This study sought to determine the contributions of college students'
perceptions of family of origin health and self-esteem to their perceptions of the
divorced single mother. It was hypothesized that individuals who hold more positive
views of their family of origin health will also view themselves and, consequently, the
divorced...
