n Contemporary studies indicate that teen pregnancy interferes with young women’s ability to graduate from high school and to enroll in and graduate from college. Conversely, planning, delaying and spacing births appears to help women achieve their education and career goals. Delaying a birth can also reduce the gap in pay that typically exists between working mothers and their childless peers ...

Adults are expert at recognizing faces, in part because of exquisite sensitivity to the spacing of facial features. Children are poorer than adults at recognizing facial identity and less sensitive to spacing differences. Here we examined the specificity of the immaturity by comparing the ability of 8-year-olds, 14-year-olds, and adults to discriminate houses differing in the spacing between fe...

Thirty-five individuals who had learned and relearaed 50 English-Spanish word pairs were tested for recall and recognition after an interval of 8 years. Two variables, the spacing between successive releaming sessions and the number of presentations required to encode individual word pairs, are excellent predictors of the likelihood of achieving permastore retention. Optimum recall occurs for w...

This paper describes a spatial systems architecture allowing clients to modify parameters and run their own bush fire simulations via map data provided by a http server. The simulations conform to the model of bush fire behaviors as well as operational requirements. A wavelet model and fire simulation over a distributed network are considered in this paper and we demonstrate how the architectur...

As his administration approaches its 6-month mark, President Bush has filled his cabinet, survived a showdown with China over a spy plane, and seen his $1.35 trillion tax cut passed by the House and Senate—just as the Republicans lost control of the Senate with the change of party by Senator James Jeffords of Vermont, who became an independent. Yet Bush and the new Senate Majority leader Tom Da...

Bush Honeysuckles, Lonicera maackii, L. morrowii, L.tatarica, and L. ×.bella, are invasive exotic shrubs naturalized throughout the midwestern United States, eastern United States and eastern Canada. Although most Lonicera populations can be traced to introductions starting in the late 1800’s (Luken 1991). Loniceras' radiation into native habitat has been known since the late 1700’s. In a 1791 ...
