How can historians of small spaces and cities focus on local events and issues and at the same time carry on conversations with peers in a disciplinar... [more]
Building on recent works that question a simplistic, White narrative of the history of academic oral history, this article focuses on the labors of Bl... [more]
The thermal and burial history of the Herzkamp syncline, located in the transition zone between the Variscan Rhenish Massif and the Ruhr foreland basin (western Germany), was reconstructed using PDI/PC-1D-basin modelling software (IES), The models were ca
1 The expansion histories of two South American species of Cortaderia, similar in morphology but differing profoundly in their breeding systems, were compared in California, USA. 2 Both species were introduced to California in the mid-1800s, but herbarium
Background. It has been postulated that systematic enquiry about patients' family histories of inherited illnesses would lead to a population of worried well'. Objective. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate if the use of a family history sc
Fire history and forest structural characteristics of adjacent Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi) and upper montane forests was investigated in the eastern Sierra Nevada at the University of California Valentine Natural Reserve. Jeffrey pine forests had lower
Trees in cities display a varied,pattern that is often moulded by a city's physical fabric and its evolution through time. The town plan expressed in spatial dimension as land use, and in temporal sense as development history, furnishes a framework to ev
Many plants are perennial, but most studies of inbreeding depression and mating system evolution focus on annuals. This paper extends a population genetic model of inbreeding depression due to recessive deleterious mutations to perennials. The model incor
This study describes the life history characteristics of amictic, unfertilized mictic and fertilized mictic females of the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus cultured individually on two different algae at 0.1 mg ml(-1) food concentration and 27 degreesC. Th
Numerical approximations to the thermal history of a representative 2-D semi-infinite section through a cooling pluton equivalent in size, configuration, and composition to the Quaternary-age Geysers plutonic complex (generally known as the: felsite) prov
The prevalence of mammography screening is unacceptably low. A history of trauma has been associated with poor health status, decreased health prevention behaviors, and increased mortality. We predicted that women who had a history of trauma were less lik
The human histories of the European and Southern Alps are very different, with contrasts in respective length of time settled, population, and the types of records that the populations in each environment have left behind. This article explores these diff
Optimal values for life history traits are expected to depend upon. environmental conditions during development and the period within which development is constrained (e.g., biotic factors and time constraints, respectively). Theory predicts that life his
A 30-month prospective study of 27 Scandinavian boys with confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy was carried out to construct profiles of the natural history of the disease. Assessments which included measures of voluntary muscle strength and
The effect of temperature on life history parameters of Muscidifurax raptorellus Kogan & Legner was determined and compared with species currently attacking fly pupae in feedlots and dairies in Alberta. Immature developmental times declined from 72 d at 1
BACKGROUND. One explanation for the variability in results in studies of alcohol consumption and breast cancer could be the presence of effect modifiers, such as genetic susceptibility. The authors examined the interaction of alcohol and family history of
A strict relationship between allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma has been seen recently, and in many ways respiratory allergy could be seen as a single disorder of the airways. The link between rhinitis and asthma can be elucidated only by studying the
