NIDA Research Monographs are prepared by the research divisions of the National lnstitute on Drug Abuse and published by its Office of Science. The primary objective of the series is to provide critical reviews of research problem areas and techniques, the content of state-of-the-art conferences, and integrative research reviews. Its dual publication emphasis is rapid and targeted dissemination...

Objective: In fall 2006, the authors examined associations between the five-factor model of personality and several key health behaviors. Methods: College students (N = 583) completed the American College Health Association–National College Health Assessment and the International Personality Item Pool Big Five short-form questionnaire. Results: Highly conscientious individuals were more likely ...

PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the clinical findings and treatment results for impacted permanent teeth associated with odontomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively investigated 73 odontomas in 72 patients who visited Kyungpook National University Dental Hospital from April 2004 through November 2011. The study was performed using medical recor...

Abstr&---A general valence force field for secondary chlorides has been refined which includes torsional force constants based on assignments of low frequency modes in model compounds. This force field also incorporates force constants related to observed intermolecular interactions. The good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies indicates that this force field will be useful in...

n the changing world of higher education, long-term impact of faculty development programs is often difficult to gauge. Sixteen years after its initiation, the Tufts Environmental Literacy Institute (TELI) created a legacy of a vibrant intellectual community from the first five years of its existence. On a visit to Tufts University in the fall of 2006, Peggy Barlett learned that despite the twe...

UNLABELLED Vitamin D deficiency can lead to osteomalacia. Bone mineral density was lower in Somali women, living in Sweden, in relation to both the American and the African-American reference populations. The majority, 73 %, had vitamin D deficiency, and supplementation should be considered to prevent from osteomalacia, osteoporosis and future fractures. PURPOSE Low vitamin D can lead to oste...

Recently, Emma Lehmer constructed a parametric family of units in real quintic fields of prime conductor p = t + 5t + I5t + 25/ + 25 as translates of Gaussian periods. Later, Schoof and Washington showed that these units were fundamental units. In this note, we observe that Lehmer's family comes from the covering of modular curves X",(25) —► ,Y0(25). This gives a conceptual explanation for the ...

The specific activity of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (spAARS), an index of growth rate, and of the electron transport system (spETS), an index of respiration, was measured in three size fractions (73-150 μm, >150 μm and >350 μm) of zooplankton during five cruises to tropical coastal waters of the Kimberley coast (North West Australia) and four cruises to waters of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR; No...
