In the last 30 years, the application of the Delphi technique has been increasing. With the recent availability and established popularity of Internet-based research tools, the Internet has been identified as a means for mitigating Delphi limitations, maximizing its advantages, and expanding the breadth of its application. The discourse on the application of “e-Delphi” has been speculative in n...

There is general agreement that bacteremia occurs as one sequel to midlethal doses of whole body x-irradiation (Warren and Whipple, 1923; Mottram and Kingsbury, 1924; Chrom, 1935; Lawrence and Tennant, 1937; Bennett et al., 1949; Miller et al., 1951 Gonshery et al., 1953). This infection could occur as a terminal event in animals dying of radiation injury; however, the findings of Miller et al....

The goal of metasearch systems is to facilitate access for researchers—both novice and expert users—to the ever-growing number of scholarly electronic resources. Researchers today are typically Web-savvy and have high expectations regarding ease of access to information for their research needs. Facing the variety and complexity of the interfaces provided by information providers, researchers o...

Self-reported measures of psychological well-being and depressive symptoms were examined across differently aged family members, while controlling for the impact of marital status and personal satisfaction about family and non-family relations. Twenty-one grandchildren (i.e., ages 21-36 years) were recruited with their parents (i.e., 48-66 years old) and grandparents (i.e., 75-101 years of age)...

Currently, oak woodlands of Northern California and their associated mycorrhizal fungi are receiving more attention. In order to address the impact mycorrhizal fungal associations have on survival of various tree species in oak woodlands, we investigated the extramatrical fungal hyphae associated with several mature oak woodland tree species. Specifically our objective was to quantify the funga...

We present the soft X–ray spectrum of the LINER galaxy M81 from a long observation with the XMM-Newton RGS. As well as continuum emission from the active nucleus , the spectrum shows emission lines from multi temperature collisionally ionized gas. The emission lines are significantly broader than the RGS point-source spectral resolution, and in the cross dispersion direction the emission lines ...

It has been suggested that how individuals respond to self-report items relies on cognitive processing. We hypothesized that an individual's level of cognitive ability may influence these processes such that, if there is a hierarchy of items within a particular questionnaire, as demonstrated by Mokken scaling, the strength of that hierarchy will vary according to cognitive ability. Using data o...
