The purpose of the present study was to test the selfconcept
and store image congruency theory with an elderly
population. The self-concept and store image congruency
theory predicts that individuals patronize stores that they
perceive as having an image similar to their own self-concept
(Martineau, 1958). The present study specifically...
The house mouse is an asthma trigger and disease vector, and is difficult to manage. Infestations in schools are managed with exclusion, sanitation, de-cluttering, monitoring, and heavy trapping. Inspections and monitoring focus on droppings, snap traps, and nontoxic baits. Safety precautions should be taken when handling feces and rodent carcasses.
A wide variety of different rock types were dredged from the Tonga fore arc and trench between 8000 and 3000 m water depths by the 1996 Boomerang voyage. ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar whole rock and U-Pb zircon dating suggest that these fore arc rocks were erupted episodically from the Cretaceous to the Pliocene...
New seafloor mapping and sampling demonstrates that the eruption of the high-Ca boninites is clearly associated with rifting of the northern Tonga ridge and the northern Lau Basin at the northern termination of the Tonga Trench. There is very strong evidence for OIB plume related mantle sources involved in the...
IMPORTANCE:
Muscle pain, fatigue, and weakness are common adverse effects of statin medications and may decrease physical activity in older men.
OBJECTIVE:
Determine whether statin use is associated with physical activity, longitudinally and cross-sectionally.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS:
Men participating in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study, a multicenter prospective...
We report new geochemical data for boninites and backarc basin-type basalts recovered from the northern termination of the Tonga trench and Lau Basin. Boninitic pillow lavas, ranging from high-Mg compositions to andesites and dacites, have been erupted within large submarine volcanic edifices (calderas and volcanoes) associated with active rifting of...
