Distribution of lichens was studied at seven coastal dune sites in
Oregon. Lichens were sampled in the dry stable, dry meadow,
meadow, rush meadow, marsh, shrub and forest deflation plain communities.
Observations were made of the standing water in the marsh
community. Quantitative measurements were made of the percent
organic...
We present a proof that the number of breakpoints in the arrival function between two terminals in graphs of treewidth ω is n^(O(log²ω) when the edge arrival functions are piecewise linear. This is an improvement on the bound of n^(Θ(log n))by Foschini, Hershberger, and Suri for graphs without any bound...
The purpose of the study was to: (1) test a client-outcome
evaluation methodology in a community mental health clinic, (2)
relate a measure of clients' recent life change to client outcomes,
(3) relate functions staff perform for clients to staff mental health
profession and to client outcomes, and (4) suggest...
The Delton Silent Reading Test, Forms A and B, was
developed as an alternate test for the Schonell Silent Reading
Test which is currently used for screening the reading
comprehension of special students. The aim of the Delton
Silent Reading Test is to achieve greater consistency in mid-year
and mid-program...
A sample of 243 Willamette Valley households participated in
personal interviews and kept 7-day records of all foods brought into
the household but not consumed by human household members. Their
reason for discarding the foods, the amounts of discard, and their
assessment of the safety of the foods were compared...
Recent emphasis on linkages between essential fish habitat and fish stock productivity has raised concerns about the management of fishing activities such as trawling, which have the potential to impact fish habitat. Knowing specifically where and how intensively trawl effort has occurred over time provides ecologists with the necessary background...
The purpose of the study was to answer two questions: (1) what are the self concepts and (2) what are the perceptions of skilled occupations of adult Metis in rural northern Alberta? The sample consisted of adult students attending Academic Upgrading programs at Alberta Vocational Centres located in three regions...
The critically endangered Maui's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori maui) and the endangered Hector's dolphin (C. h. hectori) are endemic to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where their primary threat is fisheries-related mortality. The Maui's dolphin is among the most critically endangered cetaceans in the world, with its remnant population primarily...
The satellite structure ("shake-up") present in the X-ray
photoelectron spectra of several planar molecules containing
double bonds has been investigated in the gas phase.
This set consists of three five-membered heterocyclic
molecules, ethylene and two of its fluorinated analogs, and
benzene with three of its fluorinated analogs. In addition,
core...
