Long-haul truck drivers are absent from their families for prolonged periods
of time. This paper examines the methods trucking families use to remain
connected given such absences. Interviews with ten women married to long-haul
truck drivers underwent qualitative analysis. Initially, personal profiles were
developed to illustrate life experiences of the...
Cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms (cyanoHABs) are a growing concern worldwide due to damage of ecosystems and threats to human health. Previous research indicates that plant humics from aquatic and wetland vascular plants are effective inhibitors of cyanobacterial metabolism and growth and may be useful as control agents for mitigating cyanoHABs....
The purpose of this investigation was to determine if pinniped feeding patterns have significant negative impacts on depressed salmonid stocks. Knowledge about prey selection by pinnipeds is key to assessing their potential impact on salmonid stocks. The four major work elements reported are: 1) the reanalysis of Columbia River area...
The bacteria colonizing geologic core sections (attached) were contrasted with those found suspended in the groundwater (unattached) by examining the microbiology of 16 depth-paired core and groundwater samples using a suite of culture-independent and culture-dependent analyses. One hundred twenty-two meters was continuously cored from a buried chalcopyrite ore hosted in...
Background: High birthweight is an established risk factor for childhood leukaemia.
Its association with other childhood cancers is less clear, with studies hampered by low
case numbers. Methods: We used two large independent datasets to explore risk associations between
birthweight and all subtypes of childhood cancer. Data for 16 554...

Phenology is an integrative science that comprises the study of recurring biological activities or events. In an era of rapidly changing climate, the relationship between the timing of those events and environmental cues such as temperature, snowmelt, water availability, or day length are of particular interest. This article provides an...
