The Clinch and Powell Rivers (Virginia, USA) support diverse mussel assemblages. Extensive coal mining occurs in both watersheds. In large reaches of both rivers, major ion concentrations are elevated and mussels have been extirpated or are declining. We conducted a laboratory study to assess major ion effects on growth and survival of juvenile Villosa iris. Mussels were exposed to pond water a...

This research developed the Scale of Protective Factors (SPF-24) to measure protective factors contributing to resilience. We investigated the factor structure of 35 items. After exploratory factor analysis, we subjected 25 items representing 2 social-interpersonal and 2 cognitive-individual factors to confirmatory factor analysis. The sample consisted of 942 college students from 3 studies and...

We present a systematic search for new neighbourhood stars among the Liverpool-Edinburgh high proper motion survey which we cross-identified with the DENIS survey. Their high proper motions ensure that they are not giant stars. The distances are estimated using DENIS photometry and we found that 100 stars probably lie within 25 parsecs from the Sun. They are mostly M-dwarfs, and 10 are probably...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to predict the total phenolic content (TPC) and flavonoid (TFC) in several horticultural commodities using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with machine learning. Although models are typically developed for a single product, expanding coverage model can improve efficiency. In study, 700 samples were used, including varieties shallot, cayenne pepp...

OBJECTIVE This study describes the rates of eating disorders in patients who present to the emergency department (ED) for any reason and examines the relationship between eating disorders, depression, and substance use in these patients. METHOD ED patients aged 14-20 years (n = 942) completed a computerized questionnaire. Analyses were conducted comparing individuals who screened positive for...

Physiol. 218(4) : 937-942. 1970.-The number of open capillaries was measured by direct enumeration in resting rat gracilis muscle in situ and found to be unchanged by acute denervation. When correlated with changes in resistance, results indicate ...

This paper reports a study on the development of the Chinese character recognition knowledge in 2 942 Hong Kong Cantonese-speaking elementary school children. 2 357 Chinese characters in the Revised Chinese Character List (2007) for Hong Kong Cantonese-speaking elementary school children were divided into 36 versions of test booklets to test the school children’s character recognition knowledge...

Many species of insects have been reported to show seasonally declining size at emergence. This has been explained as an adaptive response to time constraint between size and age at maturity (emergence). We studied seasonal variation in the size of damselfly Calopteryx virgo L. in six different creeks in central Finland. The length of hind wings was measured for 942 males and 285 females coveri...
