Assistance needed for elementary school teachers in Texas to implement programs of agricultural literacy
(1990)
The purposes of this study were to assess fourth grade teachers' understanding and use of agricultural concepts and to determine if assistance is needed to help them implement programs of agricultural literacy in their ...
Relativistic quantum field theory of high-spin matter fields : a pragmatic approach for hadronic physics
(1991)
A consistent phenomenology of the interaction of particles of arbitrary spin requires covariant spinors, field operators, propagators and model interactions. Guided by an approach originally proposed by Weinberg, we construct ...
A study of electrical and thermal properties and their use to detect natural gas hydrates in ocean sediments
(1992)
Natural gas hydrates may exist in deep ocean sediments in the presence of gas. Since recovery of hydrate samples is very difficult using conventional geotechnical sampling operations the development of in situ detection ...
A kinetic and kinematic comparison of the traditional and sumo deadlifts
(1990)
Low-back pain and chronic back injury have been a common occurrence in weightlifting. The risk of injury to the low-back is increased in the deadlift due to the heavy loads that are lifted. While it is generally accepted ...
Physiological responses of Zea mays (L.) roots to NaCl stress
(1993)
The effects of two sodium chloride (NaCI) stress protocols, salt acclimation (sa) and salt shock (ss), on growth, water relations, and the contribution of inorganic and organic solutes to osmotic adjustment were studied ...
Analysis of the expansion properties of the hypercube network
(1994)
The recent advent of VLSI technology has made it possible to build a parallel computing system which has combined many relatively inexpensive VLSI processors together into multiprocessor systems. One key obstacle which has ...
Politicians, the press and power : Lord Beaverbrook's introduction to British politics, 1910-1918
(1993)
Lord Beaverbrook's political career followed an unorthodox path. Within months of emigrating from Canada to Britain, he became an M.P. and a consort of the Tory elite. His character and methods suited behind-the-scenes ...
The academic, creative, and social performance of six at-risk adolescents who participated in an alternative school program
(1993)
Recently there has been an increased focus on educating students who are in danger of failing in school or in life, and who, therefore, are "at-risk." The literature addresses defining the at-risk problem, the consequences ...
Development of criteria for response to oil and petroleum product spills on soils
(1993)
The major hydrocarbon constituents that often contaminate groundwater resources from oil and petroleum product spills are benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). Benzene is the most toxic and most mobile ...
Sedimentary processes and facies of a desert fluvial system in southern Death Valley, California
(1993)
Death Valley basin typifies a pull-apart strike-slip basin in an arid continental setting. The southern section of Death Valley basin is bordered by coalescing alluvial fans and is drained along its axis by the terminal ...
