The effectiveness of virtual environments (VEs) has often been linked to the sense of
presence reported by users of those VEs. (Presence is defined as the subjective experience of …

Four quantitative reverse transcription–PCR (RT-PCR) methods were compared to evaluate
the time course of mRNA formation and decay. Mouse fibroblasts (NIH 3T3) transfected with …

DNA probes with conjugated minor groove binder (MGB) groups form extremely stable
duplexes with single-stranded DNA targets, allowing shorter probes to be used for hybridization …

Constructing a valid measure of presence and discovering the factors that contribute to
presence have been much sought after goals of presence researchers and at times have …

Determination of soil particle‐size distribution (PSD) by sieving, hydrometer, and pipette
methods as well as by laser diffraction (LD) suffers from inherent flaws, mainly due to the …

Business, academia, industry, and the military require well trained personnel to function in
highly complex working environments. To reduce high training costs and to improve the …

Surface soil and wheat yield were sampled on a 400‐ by 250‐m grid to determine the
relationship between wheat yield and soil properties influenced by erosion. The study, located in …

… On the basis of our work with soil chronosequences (Fine et al., 1989; Singer et al., 1992)
and with the relative CBD solubilities of magnetic minerals (Fine and Singer, 1989; Singer et al.…

Soil—the thin, unconsolidated, vertically differentiated portion of the Earth's surface—is
ubiquitous and often ignored despite its many important environmental and life-sustaining …

Soil seals and crusts reduce soil infiltration rates and increase soil strength. How they affect
the erosion process is not entirely clear. Effects of soil crusts at different stages of formation …
