Results of a National Survey

TOBACCO USE IS INCREASING among young Americans. Cigarette smoking rates among adolescents increased by 32% between 1991 and 1997. Cigarette smoking by young adults (18-24 years) increased by 16% between 1995 and 1997, presumably reflecting the aging of the adolescent cohort.

While questions remain about its limitations, concerns regarding misinformation, and potential difficulties with the confidentiality of personal information, the Internet appears to have promise as a means to disseminate informationabouthealth andhealthcare, enhance communica...

Biodiversity of Mineral Nutrient and Trace Element Accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana

In order to grow on soils that vary widely in chemical composition, plants have evolved mechanisms for regulating the elemental composition of their tissues to balance the mineral nutrient and trace element bioavailability in the soil with the requirements of the plant for growth and development. The biodiversity that exists within a species can be utilized to investigate how regulatory mechani...
