This reversion is a cause for concern for the future as such a reversion is not oriented to either a national or international economic system.
Anaerobic reduction of hexavalent chromium by subsurface microorganisms.
(1999)
Anaerobic sediments from an aquifer contaminated with landfill leachate were used to study the potential for microbial reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The lightly colored, sandy sediments slowly reduced Cr(VI) in viable, ...
Reddening the hearts and minds: The frontier myth and American identity in Vietnam War literature.
(1999)
I provide many examples from films and novels to illustrate a pattern resulting from the Vietnam War's threat to the frontier myth. The frontier myth is re-established in Vietnam War literature through a roughly chronological ...
Investigations into the neurodegenerative mode of action of dihydroxytetrahydroquinoline derivatives.
(1997)
Preliminary testing of a dihydroxyguinoline derivative, 3-amino-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (6,7-ADTQ), showed substantial serotonergic depletion in mouse whole brain, but with only moderate selectivity. This ...
Technology and the change in workforce skill: An examination of United States labor markets, 1950-1990.

(1998)
I found that each participant defined the word "writer" in a different way. They also established individual criteria for whether they were writers; for example, the participant who wrote prolifically did not consider ...
An integrated concurrency control in object-oriented database systems.
(1997)
First, the dissertation discusses three important issues of concurrency control in OODBs. These include conflict among methods, class hierarchy locking, and nested method invocations. The previous works for each issue are ...
A genealogy of eccentricity.
