Variables Influencing Stimulus Overselectivity In Normally Developing Children
(2005-12-15)
Stimulus overselectivity is a type of responding observed in children and adults with autism spectrum disorders and mental retardation. It involves responding that is controlled by a small, often irrelevant portion of a ...
Variables Related to Academic Success in Pre-Engineering for Students At Risk
(2008-08-15)
Undergraduate engineering enrollment has shown signs of stagnation. The American Society for Engineering Education reported that, from 2001 through 2004, national enrollment remained virtually unchanged: 96,426 in 2001 and ...
Variation in morphology and physiology of introduced populations of the Virile Crayfish, Faxonius virilis Hagen 1870
(2018-04-23)
Crayfish often show high levels of morphological variation between and within populations. Studies have shown that environmental factors can play a role in determining external morphology. Increased levels of phenotypic ...
Variation in populational size and composition within two summer colonies of endangered gray bats (Myotis grisescens)
(2006-05-15)
For >30 years, the endangered gray bat (Myotis grisescens) has been a priority in conservation efforts in the southeastern United States. As part of these conservation efforts, the Alabama Department of Conservation and ...
Variation in resistance of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and slash pine (P. elliottii Englem.) families against Leptographium and Grosmannia root fungi
(2012-12-05)
Leptographium Lagerb. & Melin and Grosmannia Goid. root-inhabiting fungi are the important contributing biotic factors associated with declining loblolly (Pinus taeda L.) and slash pine (P. elliottii Englem.) species in ...
Variations in Activity Involvement: How Breadth, Commitment, and Depth Predict Adjustment
(2020-07-09)
The present study examined the independent and shared contributions of three dimensions of organized activity involvement (breadth, commitment, and depth) in relation to four adjustment outcomes (academic competence, social ...
Various Weed Control Techniques in Container Nursery Production
(2007-08-15)
Studies were conducted evaluating selected herbicides during propagation of Loropetalum chinense ‘Ruby’ to determine effects on rooting and subsequent plant growth. Herbicides evaluated were: Gallery, Ronstar, and Regal ...
Vector-Borne Disease Dynamics of Alabama White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)
(2018-07-23)
Understanding long-term dynamics of ectoparasite populations on hosts is essential to mapping the potential transmission of disease causing agents and pathogens. Blood feeding ectoparasites such as ticks, lice and keds ...
Vehicle Routing with Cross Docks, Split Deliveries, and Multiple Use of Vehicles
(2011-09-22)
Cross docking plays a vital role in supply chain management. Cross docks can reduce the lead time of the product from supplier to retailer. The bene t of the cross dock would be reduced without e cient vehicle routing and ...
Venom allergen-like protein diversification in flatworms
(2019-07-16)
Flatworm Venom Allergen-like Proteins (VAPs) modulate mammalian and avian host immune responses, but their evolutionary origins and functions within symbioses (especially parasitism) remain poorly studied. Previous studies ...
Verification of the Superpave Gyratory Ndesign Compaction Levels
(2006-05-15)
The original Superpave Ndesign table contained 28 levels based on a limited laboratory experiment. This was later consolidated to 4 levels based on the sensitivity of mixture volumetric properties to Ndesign; however, ...
Vernier Ring Time-to-Digital Converter Based Digital Phase Locked Loop
(2011-11-22)
Digital phase-locked loops (DPLLs) recently are widely explored for wireless communication applications. Time-to-digital converter(TDC)-based DPLLs feature a high degree of integration, easy calibration and high programmability, ...
