The purpose of this study was to determine differences in
patterns and underlying practices between fathers of gifted and
fathers of non-gifted children.
The study included 10 fathers of gifted (FG) children and 10
fathers of non-gifted (FN) children. The children were
preschoolers, ages 5-6 years old. Giftedness of the...
Somatic growth variation manifests from the cumulative effects of a suite of biological, ecological, and environmental processes and can have profound effects on individual fitness and species population dynamics. As ectotherms whose growth dynamics are greatly influenced by environmental factors, sea turtles display considerable variation in somatic growth within and...
Many important policy problems entail linkages among multiple economic sectors, and require the use of a general equilibrium economic modeling framework. This economic approach is appropriate when the market for any one good or service is linked to numerous other goods and services, and back to fundamental inputs such as...

Global Positioning Systems have allowed for precise timing of power system measurements over wide areas. This newly found capability has the potential to provide much greater insight into the operation of the power system and its response to contingencies, but few analytical techniques currently exist that provide enough robustness and...
Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) are small invasive flies that in the past five years (2009-2014) invaded berry and stone fruit production regions in Europe and the Americas. Evolutionary adaptations, biological traits, and anthropogenic factors have contributed to its current status as a global pest. Females oviposit eggs into ripe...
The research presented herein focuses on electrical assessment of oxide thin films as insulators. The current density-electric field (J-E) characteristics of four insulators of dramatically different electrical quality are assessed in terms of their operative electronic conduction mechanisms. Conduction in the two high-quality insulators is dominated by Ohmic conduction and...
The question of the suitability of Walsh functions or
similar bi-valued functions used as a radar electromagnetic
carrier waveform is considered. Walsh functions are
described and effective sinusoidal steady state transfer
functions are defined for transmission elements, antenna
systems, and propagation media.
The argument is made that the unit impulse...
Experiments were done to determine pathogenic variability
and pathogenic adaptation of Septoria tritici to different
wheat cultivars. Fifteen S. tritici isolates from
California, Oregon, and Texas were evaluated on seedlings of
two sets of geographically diverse wheat cultivars under
greenhouse conditions. Significant isolate effects, cultivar
effects, and isolate X cultivar...
