This research evaluated the statistically-related
computer application tasks which were deemed to be important
to the graduate curriculum of doctoral students who
major in Education. Data were gathered from samples of
foreign (N=22) and American (N=117) students who held
degrees in Education from Oregon State University.

This study examined the practice of student teaching and the effects of student
teaching upon the development of three secondary Thai language student teachers
from Chiangmai Teachers' College in Chiangmai, Thailand from July to September,
1992. The research questions were: What are the methods of teaching which are
used during...
The central purposes of this study were to review the
historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential
learning theory, and to determine the effect and
application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory
as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990.
It was found that Kolb based his...
The promise of epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) and cancer specific somatic changes in improving our understanding of cancer coupled with the decreasing cost and increasing coverage of DNA methylation microarrays, has brought about a surge in the use of these technologies. Here, we aim to provide both a review of...
The potential influence of underlying differences in relative leukocyte distributions in studies involving blood-based profiling of DNA methylation is well recognized and has prompted development of a set of statistical methods for inferring changes in the distribution of white blood cells using DNA methylation signatures. However, the extent to which...
The central purpose of this study was to examine physicians' knowledge of and attitudes toward hearing aids. This study was conducted with 71 general practitioners affiliated with Scarborough General Hospital in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada.

A study was conducted to determine the mineralogy and chemical
properties of "Ando-like" western Oregon soils. The samples
were collected from 13 sites which formed mainly from basaltic
rocks, a contact metamorphic rock, sedimentary rocks, and
alluvium derived from sedimentary rock and from volcanic rock. All
samples contained small amounts...
The potential for electric energy generation from ocean waves is substantial and much research is being conducted on the conversion process as a renewable, grid-connected, power source. Some of the same attributes that make wave energy harvesting attractive as a grid-connected source also make it attractive as a remote, or...
