Comparison of Soil Organic Carbon Methods and Carbon Sequestration and Soil Characteristics in Louisiana Crawfish Ponds

Ou, Ling (2013-12-10)

Two studies were conducted for this thesis research. In the first study, nine soil organic carbon (SOC) methods were evaluated using 336 soil samples from different regions, including Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas, as ...

A Comparison of Staff Training Methods for Effective Implementation of Discrete Trial Teaching for Learners with Developmental Disabilities

Geiger, Kaneen (2012-05-07)

Discrete trial teaching is an effective procedure for teaching a variety of skills to children with autism. However, it must be implemented with high integrity to produce optimal learning. Behavioral Skills Training (BST) ...

Comparison of Tensile Strength and Early Healing of Self-Locking and Surgeon’s Knots for Closure of Ventral Midline Celiotomy in Horses

Weatherall, Kathleen (2020-07-15)

Characteristics of surgical closure are associated with incisional complications. The surgical knot has been shown to be the weakest point of the suture line. Self-locking knots, such as the forwarder (F) and Aberdeen (A) ...

Comparison of the gene encoding the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor between hyperthyroid and non-hyperthyroid domestic cats.

Haysom, Laura (2018-07-12)

The prevalence of feline hyperthyroidism (FH) is increasing, yet the etiology of FH remains to be elucidated. The purpose of this study was to compare exons 1 to 5 of the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) gene ...
