Data of corn ear production (kg/ha) of 196 half-sib progenies (HSP) of the maize population CMS-39 obtained from experiments carried out in four environments were used to adapt and assess the BLP method (best linear predictor) in comparison with to…

This thesis examines the role nineteenth-century women's literary journals, specifically Ladies' Journal (1823--1833), played in the development of Russian literature. The longest-lived and most-circulated of the pre-Soviet women's literary journals, Ladies' Journal was well-positioned to have contributed to the on-going…

Doped tin dioxide electrodes have been prepared by a standard spray pyrolysis technique. The electrochemical behaviour of these electrodes has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry in sulphuric acid using the Fe2+/Fe3+ redox couple system as test reaction. Oxygen evolution has…

The purpose of this research was to gain an understanding of how music education students come to think of themselves as music educators. Guided by the thematic framework, "learning from experience", which draws upon research relating to constructivist theory and…

Procedures for the selection of subjects for participation in randomized clinical trials--usually formalized as eligibility criteria in the study protocol--have both scientific and ethical implications. In this thesis, I undertake an examination of eligibility criteria at three stages in the…

Eumerus purpurariae, described from the Canary Islands (Atlantic), has been reared from the stems (platyclades) of the cactus Opuntia maxima (the first know host) on Nueva Tabarca, a Mediterranean island close to the Iberian coast. The egg, larva and puparium…

The electrochemical behaviour of glycine on well-defined Pt(100) and Pt(110) electrodes has been studied in an acid medium by means of cyclic voltammetry and in situ FTIR spectroscopy. The results presented in this paper and those reported previously for the…
