This thesis uses an applied methodology based on Bormann's (1972b) fantasy theme analysis to study the Internet communication in the Student Doctor Network (SDN) Forums. The Internet posts of several thousands of pre-medical ...
Helping Preschool Children Acquire Critical Literacy Skills Through Parent Training and Intervention
(2013-11-15)
Parents of young children often wonder how they can prepare their preschoolers to read. Many understand the importance of reading to their children and teaching the alphabet but they are unaware of another critical literacy ...
Hemicelluloses extraction and nanocellulose addition as a partial replacement for non-renewable adhesives in oriented strand board.
(2019-04-16)
Oriented strand board (OSB) is an engineered wood product used for building wood-based structures (e.g., walls, floors, ceilings, furniture). This composite is manufactured with small pieces of wood (strands) linked together ...
Hemichordate phylogeny: a molecular and genomic approach
