The U.S. trucking industry was deregulated with
implementation of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. After
deregulation, increased concentration was observed in the
general freight segment of the industry. The purpose of
this study was to examine structural differences in general
freight commodity carriers and to help explain the increased...
The physiological adaptations involved in the seasonal and altitudinal regulation of the life cycle in Allonemobius fasciatus were
studied.
This species maintains a univoltine life cycle with an embryonic
diapause over an altitudinal gradient of as large as 1,000 m. A more
than 1.5 -month difference exists in hatching time...
The radiolysis of succinic acid in aqueous solutions induced by
gamma irradiation from ⁶⁰Co has been studied with respect to the
identification and estimation of degradation products. Detailed information
on the radiolysis of succinic acid is important in determining
what effect two carboxyl groups in the same molecule would have...
A global solution is presented that accurately accounts for the
singular behavior at all irregular points. The linearized boundary
value problem in a semi-infinite strip in the physical plane is
transformed into a smooth unit disk by two successive conformal
mappings. The global solution results from a Fredholm integral
equation...

The gastrula of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
was dissociated into single cells. In culture these cells appeared
apolar, but reassembled into quasi-normal embryos composed of
structures with polarized cells. In this study emphasis was placed on
those morphological events coincident with the reestablishment of a
polar orientation within the...
The purpose of this study was to develop and test a model in which
video materials are effectively used to develop students' listening
communication ability. In order to reach this goal, the researcher
designed the study procedure. In phase one, literature was reviewed to
establish the theoretical framework for the...
Recently, the number of leisure fishers has increased in Japan. Recreational anglers have caught larger numbers of fishes than commercial fishermen in some species. Formulating an appropriate management strategy that considers recreational and commercial sectors is important. Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) has been caught in Lake Toya, Hokkaido, Japan, by...
