Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) is an ecologically significant species that plays a critical role channeling energy throughout the Arctic marine food web. Arctic cod is uniquely adapted to occupy ice edge habitats, however, a basic understanding of its larval physiology and habitat requirements is lacking due to widespread sea ice...
Micro-plankton are a crucial component of pelagic food webs, responding rapidly to environmental changes, and providing a first step in the acquisition and transfer of nutrients to life in the ocean. In addition to the uptake of carbon, phytoplankton provide essential fatty acids (FAs) that can limit the growth of...
With the advent of the open access and open data movement, the preservation and availability of data has multiplied exponentially. This increased distribution and sharing of data has energized numerous fields of research. In such an environment, librarians are increasingly tasked with finding actual data related to specific subjects in...
Biochemical and rheological properties of surimi were examined based on: 1) salting time (from 18 to 3 min) while maintaining 21 min for total chopping time; 2) total chopping time (from 6 to 21 min) while salting during the final 3 min. Extending salting time significantly increased breaking force and...
Pattern grading is a method of creating multiple sizes of a garment style. Grading to extreme sizes is not recommended since the design and drape of the garment can be distorted. Researchers suggest that customized fit is a solution for creating sizes in a garment style. However, manufacturers continue to...
The purposes of this study were to determine the
effects of level (elementary and secondary), program
status (beginning, midway, and student teaching), and
demongraphic variables (experience, success, college
supervisor support, supervising teacher support,
additional support services, and school type) on
preservice teachers' attitudes toward mainstreaming. The
population consisted of 91...
Achondroplastic dwarf men and women find it difficult to acquire
clothing that fits well. Their major problem is that their torso is
long in relationship to the length of their arms and legs, but other
physical problems do enter into the selection and construction of
clothing. The multiplicity of their...
The major purpose of this study was to develop a guide to teach
family clothing at the twelfth grade level stressing decision-making in
family concerns.
An interview-questionnaire was administered to Canby Union
High School senior girls to discover information about their families,
to find what they believed was important to...
In the mild climate of the Pacific Northwest, the harvesting of
deciduous shade trees in wholesale nurseries is prolonged from
October to January because of autumn growth and prolonged leaf
retention. Economically, it is advantageous to defoliate nursery trees
at the earliest possible date. Premature defoliation, however, can
cause die...
