A study, using greenhouse and laboratory experiments, was
made of Hemicycliophora similis from Bandon, Oregon to determine:
identity and morphometrics, time and development of a life cycle,
host plant preferences and optimum environmental conditions for
reproduction and pathogenicity.
Morphometric investigations revealed discrepancies between
the measurements of this nematode species and...
Although oceanographers such as Roger Revelle are typically associated with key indicators
of anthropogenic change, he and other scientists at midcentury had very different
scientific priorities and ways of seeing the oceans. How can we join the narrative of the

Type-2 diabetes (T2D) has become a pandemic. The main impairment in T2D is skeletal muscle insulin resistance (IR) and is often associated with obesity. Despite decades of study, the mechanisms of IR have not been fully resolved. Evidence has implicated mitochondrial dysfunction as a potential cause and/or consequence of IR....
A method to measure consumers' housing consumption and
investment attitudes according to various dimensions was initiated.
In addition, construct validity of the measurement instrument was
initiated through use of personal variables.
Two scales were developed to measure homeownership consumption
and investment attitudes. The dimensions of homeownership consumption
and investment found...
