A five year longitudinal study was begun in 1976 to find a
solution to the problem of early primary children who fail in school
and then adopt the failure syndrome. The study was conducted in four

The tests used for...
The leaching of water soluble phenolic compounds from
cold stressed Rhododendron leaves was found to be a reliable
indicator of tissue damage. In sublethally stressed leaf
tissues, more and novel phenolic compounds appeared and were
hypothesized to be precursors of cell wall components such
as lignin and suberin. Subsequent radiolabeling...

Systems theory and role theory were used in this study to
develop a management model, integrating the managerial and
psycho-social subsystems of the family system. The integrated theory
and model were used to derive hypotheses concerning whether or not

The shallow water benthic habitat of the SW Beaufort Sea is frequently
gouged by the keels of ice pressure ridges. This natural physical
disturbance was hypothesized to be an important factor affecting the
structure of the benthic community. Smith-McIntyre grab samples were
taken from three discrete gouge axes and from...
