Short-term effects of 3 grazing systems and prescribed burning on bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations were investigated on the Welder Wildlife Refuge near Corpus Christi, Texas, during spring (April through June) and fall (September through October) of 1976 and 1977. Two rotational systems, high intensity-low frequency (HILF) and four-pasture, deferred-rotation (4PDR),...
For my research goals I addressed the theoretical importance of
competition in habitat selection of 2 quails and examined the use of
resources in peripheral and core areas. Methodological objectives
were to determine cover and food selection of Texas bobwhite (Colinus
virginianus texanus) and chestnut-bellied scaled quail (Callipepla
squamata castanogastris)...
This exploratory investigation focused on the validity of the concepts of high-context and low-context as a meaningful and powerful construct for examining cultural differences. Specifically, American and
Japanese value differences and communication patterns were examined.
The study tested the hypotheses that Japanese students would rank
high-context group orientation values higher...

than ever before. The influx of women into the workplace raises
questions about differences in male and female work-related behaviors
particularly in groups, and decision making. For example, existing
research suggests that men and women have differing strategies in
groups...
Unbleached-flour, high-ratio white cakes were prepared with
-15, -10, -5, 0, +5 percent variations in sugar/water level from
American Association of Cereal Chemists Method 10-90. Formulas
with and without added cream of tartar were used.
Specific gravity, batter and crumb pH, volume, crumb and
crust color and compressibility were objectively...
This qualitative narrative inquiry study explored the experiences and perspectives of five Asian American females who have sought presidencies and/or vice presidencies in community colleges. All five of the participants are currently either a president or vice president in community colleges. This study found nine themes that capture the barriers...
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the production of poplar biomass grown under four management conditions in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the U.S.A. was conducted. While the extraction of fossil fuels and the subsequent generation of energy have environmental impacts, the alternative of extracting poplar biomass also has impacts...
