View ArticleChaotic mixing of viscous fluids in time-periodic cavity flows
Chaotic mixing of viscous fluids in slow flows is pervasive in the chemical and polymer industries but poorly understood. However, relatively simple experiments provide a wealth of information...
View ArticleSolution viscosity and phase behavior for blends of lyotropic liquid...
Lyotropic liquid crystalline polymer solutions containing rod-like polymer can be oriented changing the concentration and/or applying a shear field. These solutions can be processed into fibers and...
View ArticleA visual language for knowledge acquisition, display and animation by domain...
To make plan-based expert systems more accessible to end users we should develop interfaces that make the functionality of the planner seem natural and immediately understandable. In particular, we...
View ArticleAn examination of the ideas about how to teach adults: Do they reflect the...
This research explores the question of whether the current thinking in the adult education literature on how to teach adult students reflects the best thinking about good teaching. Two bodies of...
View ArticlePolarimetric measurements of foliage and terrain at 225 GHz
The ability of radars to detect and classify targets has been greatly enhanced by maturation of the theory and practice of radar polarimetry. Although a substantial body of polarimetric measurements...
View ArticleRadio observations of several interstellar molecules
We present observations of rotational transitions for several interstellar molecules whose formation may be related to grain processes and discuss their implications for interstellar chemistry....
View ArticleSupervisor behavior at client-therapist impasse
This study explored the supervision process within community mental health agencies. This process was conceptualized as consisting of three categories of supervisor intervention, Theory/Information...
View ArticleMolecular outflows in the L1641 region of Orion
Little is known about the interaction between molecular outflows associated with young stellar objects and the parent molecular cloud that produced them. This is because (a) molecular outflows are a...
View ArticleAspects of effective leadership in urban schools
The failure to adequately educate urban children is a shortcoming of such magnitude that many people have simply written off city schools as little more than human storehouses to keep young people off...
View ArticleThe family and ambiguity: The politics of alternative conceptions of self and...

It is Jack London's attitude toward race which critics and scholars now find most embarrassing. Yet they offer no explanation of how this "regrettable flaw" arose in such an otherwise admirable...
View ArticleStructure, function and regulation of a nuclear gene in Saccharomyces...
MRP13 was defined by biochemical criteria as a 35-kilodalton small subunit protein of the yeast mitochondrial ribosome. The MRP13 gene was identified by immunological screening of a yeast genomic...
View ArticleThe design and analysis of a computer system for sensory-based robotics
Many of today's robots are used to perform simple and repetitive tasks using little sensory information. Such tasks are simple for they are carried out in tightly constrained environments in which all...
View ArticleOrganization development as sense-making: An interpretive perspective
The dominant paradigm used in the literature to describe Organization Development (OD) has had limited success in fully representing OD-in-practice. The widespread reliance upon functionalist...
