Improving intercultural communication competence: Fostering bodymindful cage painting
(Immigrant Institutet, 2009)The interconnectedness of the world because of the Internet and the interdependence due to trade liberalization have given rise to the need for future graduates to be more interculturally and globally competent communicators. ... -
Influence of spore dose and interrupted wet periods on the development of pear scab caused by Venturia pirina on pear (Pyrus communis) seedlings
(Springer Verlag, 2012-04)The influence of spore dose and interrupted wet periods on pear scab infection was studied under controlled conditions by assessing disease development on pear seedlings. Under optimal conditions (20 degrees C and continuous ... -
Introduction: AAPG Hedberg Research Conference on Microbial Carbonate Reservoir Characterization-Conference summary and selected papers
(American Association of Petroleum Geologists, 2013-11)With the recent discovery of hydrocarbons in microbial carbonate reservoir facies along the South Atlantic margins, industry is keen to further the understanding of the origin and development of nonmarine (lacustrine) to ... -
Introduction: Hells Canyon to the Bitterroot front: A transect from the accretionary margin eastward across the Idaho batholith
(Geological Society of America, 2014)This field guide covers geology across north-central Idaho from the Snake River in the west across the Bitterroot Mountains to the east to near Missoula, Montana. The regional geology includes a much-modified Mesozoic ... -
Iola, Kansas residential lead contamination
(Wichita State University, 2007-12)In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s lead and zinc mining became prominent in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. With no knowledge of the effects that would impact the future, the mining companies continued to strip the land. ... -
Late Atokan siliciclastic cave-fill deposits within preAbsarokan paleokarst in the Burlington-Keokuk limestone, Dade county, Missouri
(Wichita State University, 2011-12)Two siliciclastic-filled paleocaverns within the Mississippian (Osagean) Burlington- Keokuk Limestone, which were formed in pre-Desmoinesian (Middle Pennsylvanian) time, are described from exposures in Dade County, ... -
Late Pliocene to Holocene platform evolution in northern Belize, and comparison with coeval deposits in southern Belize and the Bahamas
(International Association of Sedimentologists, 2006-10)Lithostratigraphy, depositional facies architecture, and diagenesis of upper Pliocene to Holocene carbonates in northern Belize are evaluated based on a ca 290 m, continuous section of samples from a well drilled on ... -
Length of the year during the Silurian and Devonian Periods: new values
(Geological Society of America, 1971)Daily growth increments and monthly markings on Silurian and Devonian corals and brachiopods were counted using a maximum count method. Early and Middle Silurian fossils indicate that the number of days per year during ... -
Lithofacies distribution and diagenetic overprint of the Jurassic Smackover formation at Little Cedar Creek Field, Conecuh County, Alabama
(Wichita State University, 2015-05)Upper Jurassic microbial carbonate buildups are proven petroleum reservoirs in southwest Alabama, including at Appleton, Vocation and Little Cedar Creek Fields. For the past 30 years, extensive effort has been applied to ... -
Lithostratigraphy and diagenesis of the Upper Pennsylvanian (Missourian) Lansing-Kansas City Groups in Rooks County, Kansas
(Wichita State University, 2013-12)The Upper Pennsylvanian (uppermost Missourian) Lansing-Kansas City Groups (LKC) are prime oil reservoirs targeted by many petroleum companies exploring in Kansas and Nebraska. The LKC groups are a series of cyclothems ... -
Little Arkansas River trace metal investigation
(Wichita State University, 2015-05)The Little Arkansas River originates in central Kansas in areas of high agriculture near the town of McPherson and flows south through increasing urbanization until joining the Arkansas River in Wichita Ks. With population ... -
Living with the neighbors
(Springer Netherlands, 2005-12)In the year 1859, Thomas Austin released 24 rabbits into the bush near his farm in the southern Australian colony of Victoria. His aim was to have a regular supply of familiar game to hunt. By the end of the 19th century, ... -

Monitoring plant response to phenanthrene using the red edge of canopy hyperspectral reflectance
(Elsevier Ltd., 2014-09-15)To investigate the mechanisms and potential for the remote sensing of phenanthrene-induced vegetation stress, we measured field canopy spectra, and associated plant and soil parameters in the field controlled experiment ... -

Nature and origins of a stratigraphic boundary in a continental setting, southern Bogda Mountains, NW China
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)A nonmarine stratigraphic boundary where major facies shifts occur indicates drastic changes in environmental conditions, but may have highly variable magnitude of facies shifts to rapid lateral facies changes, common ... -
Optimization of a fiducial volume for a 10 kiloton water Cerenkov detector for geo-neutrinos
(Wichita State University, 2013-12)A fiducial volume is crucial in particle physics when trying to choose the shape and size of a particle detector. The fiducial volume is defined as the volume at which a specified number of energy events are to be accepted. ... -
