OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether an increase in daily tooth brushing frequency in children was predicted by either a) having a strong intention to brush twice a day or b) their parents receiving information about their new caries experience.
BASIC RESEARCH DESIGN: Secondary data analyses were conducted on two waves of...
Thomas and Megahan [1998] provide a thoughtful reanalysis of our earlier paper [Jones and Grant, 1996]. Thomas and Megahan [1998] (hereinafter referred to as T&M) reacted to three assertions made by Jones and Grant [1996] (hereinafter referred to as J&G): (1) "forest harvesting has increased peak discharges by as much...
Background: Multinucleon transfer reactions have recently attracted attention as a possible path to the synthesis of new neutron-rich heavy nuclei.
Purpose: We study transfer reactions involving massive nuclei with the intention of understanding if the semi-classical model GRAZING coupled to an evaporation and fission competition model can satisfactorily reproduce experimental...
Knowledge of the shear stress on a fault during slip is necessary
for a physically-based understanding of earthquakes. Borehole
temperature measurements inside the fault zone immediately after
an earthquake can record the energy dissipated by this stress. In the
first Wenchuan Earthquake Fault Zone Scientific Drilling Project
hole (Sichuan province,...
A simulation model (STEMRUST_G, named for stem rust of grasses)
was created for stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis subsp.
graminicola) in perennial ryegrass grown to maturity as a seed crop. The
model has a daily time step and is driven by weather data and an initial
input of disease...
