Gender-Based Comparison of Walking Speed and Simultaneous Mental Math Performance

Frederick, Vladislav C.; Raether, Ryan J.; Knorpp, Matt T.; Leon, Elena E. (2010-05-10)

Walking is so automatic to us that we often multitask while walking (for instance, by talking to others, carrying things, or eating/drinking). However, it might be expected that multitasking would cause gait to change as ...

Gene Therapy for Osteosarcoma : "In Vitro" Characterization of Five Tumor Cell Lines and Development of Treatment Models "In Vivo"

Walling, Hobart W. (Drake University, 1995-02)

Four human osteosarcoma cell lines (MNNG, TE85, MG63, and G292) and a human-derived osteosarcoma metastatic to murine lung (MLM) were transduced "in vitro" using retroviral vectors containing the Herpes simplex thymidine ...

The Generality of the Autoshaped Response

Premock, Mark (Drake University, 1978-05)

The problem. To determine if autoshaping is restricted to responses which are biologically preorganized, or if a response which is not overlearned or pre-organized, but is elicited by an appetitive stimulus (grain), can ...

Generating Interest In Computer Science Through Middle-School Android Summer Camps
