in this study, high biocontrol potentially bacillus isolates, against root knot nematode were evaluated from viewpoint of biofilm formation and root colonization in vitro. among 139 bacillus isolates from tomato rhizosphere of several regions of razavi khorasan, 15 strains which show more ability to prevent egg hatch and cause larvae mortality of meloidogyne javanica, were tested in biofilm ass...

OBJECTIVE The present study tested the proposed five-factor structure and invariance of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996) in a sample of physically active breast cancer survivors. METHODS A sample of breast cancer survivors (N=470, Mage=57.3, SD=7.8 years) completed the PTGI and a demographic questionnaire. The factor structure, factorial invariance, and late...

Models of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) are frequently applied to examine the convergent validity of scores obtained from multiple raters or methods in so-called multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) investigations. Many applications of CFA-MTMM and similarly structured models result in solutions in which at least one method (or specific) factor shows non-significant loading or variance estimates....
