Root rot due to Armillariella mellea (Vahl. ex Fr.)
Karst. is unusually severe in ponderosa pine near Glenwood,
Washington. Isolate relations, clonal variability, vegetation
patterns, and climate were examined in relation to
severity of disease in this area.
Ninety-one isolates from 70 infection centers were
examined. Pairings of neighboring isolates...
This study involved an investigation of lactic streptococci which
had irreversibly lost ability to produce the high levels of acid in milk

This paper concerns a question that frequently occurs in various applications: Is any dispersal coupling of stable discrete linear systems, also stable? Although it has been known this is not the case, we shall identify a reasonably diverse class of systems for which it is true. We shall employ the...
The present experiment examined children's memory for stereotypic

Twenty-four male and twenty-four female fifth grade subjects read
two short stories, each depicting a male and female character who

The purpose of this research was to see if there were technological differences in ground stone manufacturing and use from a single site that had been occupied for over 600 years, A.D. 550-A.D. 1150, and had multiple occupations that evolved over time (Late Pithouse Phases, Georgetown, San Francisco, and Three...
How do organizational members socially construct the shared meaning of a mandated change in the external environment? The opportunity to address this question presented itself when President Barack Obama set forth a goal for American community colleges to increase the number of students completing certificates and degrees by 5 million...
The purpose of the present study was to describe the process of
premarital relationship dissolution. This description entailed
typologizing relationships on the basis of their trajectories to
involvement and eventual dissolution. One hundred individuals who had
been involved in a serious relationship that had broken up within the
