متن کاملMorphological variation of the frontal sinus in Melanesian (Fiji) and Polynesian (Western Samoa) populations.
The aims of this study were to investigate gender differences in frontal sinus morphology and to estimate differences between Fijian and Western Samoan populations. Cephalograms of 118 Fijians (59 male, 59 female), 80 W. Samoans (33 male, 47 female) and 89 Japanese (60 male, 29 female) were used in this study.

In spite of a rapidly increasing population, the existing indigenous food supplies provide for the adequate nutrition of the people living in most areas. There are a few small islands wh...
متن کاملClay mineralogy and surface charge characteristics of basaltic soils from Western Samoa
The clay mineralogy and surface charge characteristics of four basaltic soils from Western Samoa have been studied. The soils contained subordinate to dominant amounts of poorly ordered allophanic material in addition to varying amounts of crystalline free iron oxide minerals. Infrared studies revealed the presence of trace to subordinate amounts of kaolin minerals in all the soils. The surface...
