In spite of the progressive restrictions of the commercial river fishery during the past fifty years, the trend of the salmon populations of the coastal rivers has been downward. It is almost impossible to isolate and analyze separately the causes of this decline, and any attempt to saddle one factor...
Three factors were found to be significantly correlated with the fluctuations and trends in silver salmon production in Oregon. Logging was found to adversely affect the runs of salmon in later years. Exceptional winter floods seem to produce poor resulting runs. Low summer water flows also appear to produce lower...
Objective: To translate a behavioral weight loss intervention for mid-life, low-income women in real world settings.
Design and Methods: In this pragmatic clinical trial, we randomly selected six North Carolina county health departments and trained their current staff to deliver a 16-session evidence-based behavioral weight loss intervention (special intervention, SI)....
This analysis concerns the life and scientific work of Henry
Augustus Rowland (1848-1901), organizer and the first chairman of
the physics department at The Johns Hopkins University in 1876.
Special materials used in this research included three pieces of
Rowland's experimental apparatus which are extant in the Smithsonian
Institution Division...
The Nearctic species of the genus Sympherobius
Banks are revised. Seventeen species are recorded from
the region. Two new species, S. constrictus and S.
quadricuspis are described from California and Arizona
respectively. Four new specific synonyms are proposed
(junior synonym(s) first): S. brunneus Nakahara and S.
stangei Nakahara = S....
Currently little is known about the mechanisms and locations of
lymphocyte development in teleosts. In this study several aspects of the
underlying factors which govern B lymphocyte development in trout
were investigated which included: the isolation and characterization of
immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) genes, the recombination activating
genes 1 and...
This study measured muscular strength and perceived exertion of active men, 25 to 64 years old. The subjects were 80 members of a large YMCA, with 20 active men chosen from each of the following age groups: 25-34, 35-44, 45-54,and 55-64. Measurement of strength consisted of assessing the maximum weight...
