This autoethnographic research explores learning, teaching, and leading from the perspective of an adult woman who is both a nontraditional student and a non-traditional worker in the academy. Because she returned to school at the age of forty to earn a bachelor's degree, and is currently an associate professor of...
Local property-owning residents maintain high levels of interest
and awareness regarding a neighboring natural resource complex.
Factors, however, such as proximity, personal interests, use patterns
and economic considerations cause local inhabitants to have an
inaccurate perception of the natural resource complex. The nature
of local resident perception can be analyzed...
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the major food crop produced
on the Anatolian Plateau of Turkey where due to limited
rainfall the farmers follow the traditional system of fallow
farming. They are presently producing an average of 1.15
tons of grain per hectare during the crop year. This rate
of production...
Previous research on WWII veterans in their 70’s and 80’s has shown that positive and negative appraisals of military service mediate between combat exposure and PTSD symptoms in late life. This thesis extends this research in two ways, first by determining how these variables relate to functional health in later...

Fourteen multiparous Holstein cows were paired by stage of
lactation and previous years milk yield and 14 Holstein first-calf
heifers were paired by stage of lactation. One member of each pair
was assigned to a 24L:OD or a 18L:6D photoperiod for 16 wk during
winter 1981 (Experiment 1). A similar...
The major problem examined in this study was that of
determining whether or not there is any relationship between
student ratings of instruction in the community college
university transfer area and the professional teacher-training
backgrounds of instructors. In addition, several
other factors which may influence ratings and which might

Low completion rates have created serious "leakage points" (Astin, 1988) and "severe hemorrhaging" (Lango, 1996) in higher education to a large number of Hispanics. Traditional research on college persistence, which has blamed the students' culture for low performance, is inaccurate. Little research has specifically investigated academic persistence from a cultural...
Ceratomyxa shasta infects salmonids in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of North America, occasionally causing losses in wild and captive populations. Host-specific parasite genotypes (O, I, II, III) were previously characterized molecularly using markers in the ribosomal DNA and phenotypically by type host in the Klamath River, CA/OR. This thesis sough...
