Life-history responses to two concentrations of fish released info-chemicals at two temperature and food regimes were investigated for one clone of Daphnia hyalina x galeata. The presence of fish kairomones had a negative impact on size at maturity, carbo
Based largely on 668 one-hour samples collected during a survey of spiders in 16 major habitats of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, habitat distributions, life history patterns, and other natural history traits are described for 14 species in the
The effect of temperature on various life history parameters of Muscidifuras zaraptor Kogan & Legner was determined to develop functions that could Le used for improving models of biological control, as well as to compare its response to temperature with
Laboratory cultivation experiments were carried out in order to determine the response of D. galeata to food conditions and dissolved chemicals in the water collected in three contrasting sites of the Rimov Reservoir. There were two types of cultivation m
Both nuclear and desalination technologies are mature and proven by experience, and are commercially available from a variety of suppliers. From the early days of the two technologies, it was realized that the power of the atom could be utilized to overco
This paper provides a conceptual history of the development of early universe particle physics in the 1970s, focusing on the development of more sophisticated tools for constructing gauge -theories at finite -temperature. I start with a focus on early inv
This article discusses how and why Christian medical missionaries established their foothold in Chinese society through the medical career of Benjamin Hobson, who was active in China from the late 1830s to the 1850s. Apart from his evangelical work among
This article proposes a data-driven approach to memory culture by quantitatively studying the phrase 'n years ago' in a set of Dutch newspapers throughout the larger part of the 20th century. In a pipeline consisting of three parts, it looks at (1) the
This article analyzes the process of production, circulation, and reception of books for the borderlands, i .e. , books printed in Europe but intended for the South American missionary borderlands. As a case study, the work examines the communication circ
In October 1975, the Icelandic women's movement organized a 'Women's Day Off' (WDO), a one-day strike designed to reveal the societal importance of women's work. In this article, we explore media coverage of the WDO in the Nordic countries. Through a
William Osler's medical career spanned two centuries and three nations: Canada, the United States, and Great Britain. Though not an especially noted scientist, he was an innovative teacher, a professional organizer, and mentor and colleague to many grate
Objectives: To determine the impact of family history (FH) on anthropometric and reproductive risk factors for breast cancer, a case-referent study was conducted using data from the Hospital-based Epidemiologic Research Program at Aichi Cancer Center (HER
Sexual and vegetative reproduction of clonal plants phenotypically differ in dispersal distance, in the phenology of offspring production and establishment, and in the success of establishment. We applied a combination of analytical and of spatially expli
Life history traits in guppies (Poecilia reticulata) vary geographically along a predator assemblage gradient, and held experiments have indicated that the association may be causal; guppies introduced from high predation sites to low predation sites have
Background: Suicide represents a major health problem in the United States, and prediction of suicide attempts is difficult. No structural neuroimaging studies have been done to specifically examine findings in patients who have attempted suicide. The obj
