The two-fold purpose of this study was to identify critically important factors that affect the
meaningful assessment of student learning outcomes and study why they were critically
important. A three-round Delphi process was used in both a pilot project and in a full study to
solicit the opinions of individuals...
An idealized global climate model is used to explore the response of the climate to a
wide range of dust radiative properties and dust layer heights. The top-of-the-atmosphere
(TOA) shortwave forcing becomes more negative as the broadband shortwave single
scattering albedo increases and the broadband shortwave asymmetry parameter decreases,
but...
Airborne mineral dust can influence the climate by altering the radiative properties of the atmosphere, but the magnitude of the effect is uncertain. An idealized global model is developed to study the dust-climate system. The model determines the dust longwave and shortwave direct radiative forcing, as well as the resulting...
This manual provides guidance on creating subject heading proposals for Indigenous topics that can be submitted to the Subject Authority Cooperative Program (SACO) for addition to the Library of Congress Subject Headings.
Phytoplankton alter the absorption of solar radiation, affecting upper ocean temperature and circulation. These changes, in turn, influence the atmosphere through modification of the sea surface temperature (SST). To investigate the effects of the present-day phytoplankton concentration on the atmosphere, an atmospheric general circulation model was forced by SST changes...
Thirteen healthy adult males, ages 20-40, consuming self selected
diets, were given instructions to take one 500 mg tablet of ascorbic
acid three times a day with their meals for a period of ten weeks. The
effect of this daily supplementation on copper status was investigated.
An estimation made from...
A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
procedure using a LiChrosorb-NH₂ column and a eluant
buffer of 75:25 (v/v) of acetonitrile:0.05 M KH₂P0₄, pH
5.95, was developed for the successful separation and
determination of ascorbic and erythorbic acids in selected
food samples.
Application of the method, which is sensitive, rapid
and...

The first published notion that the j-function was in any way related to the Monster came in 1979, when Conway and Norton noted in [CN79] that each coefficient in the q- expansion of the j-function could be written as a (nontrivial) integral linear combination of the dimensions of irreducible representations...
