We provide algebraic simplifications for the redundancy analysis (RDA) eigenvalue and the canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) eigenvalue in the special case of permanent plots sampled twice. The indices for RDA and CCA are interrelated and are intuitively interpretable. These simplifications also apply to simple split-plot designs and to a balanced design with two independent samples.

A large survey by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of people aged 15 to 25 showed that the women, and especially the participants "on a diet" or "watching their weight," generally had iron intakes well below the recommended daily allowance. Reduced iron intake appeared to result from diets of reduced iron concentration as well as from energy restriction. Further research is neede...

In the United States as well as many other countries, intake recommendations exist for a variety of food groups, such as fruits and vegetables, dairy products and whole grains. No such recommendation exists for soyfoods. The Chinese government recommends consuming at least 50 g of soyfoods daily as one step toward meeting nutrient needs [1]. However, this recommendation does not consider the po...

Minamiite has been discredited and renamed natroalunite-2c to show a double unit-cell structure and natroalunite can be designated as natroalunite-1c to show a single unit-cell structure. Kintoreite can be designated as kintoreite-1c to show the same single unit-cell structure, and IMA 1993-039 is a new superstructure of kintoreite and can be designated as kintoreite-2c to show a double unit-ce...

Revised July, 2008 We examine the role of reservations in capacity-constrained services with a focus on restaurants. Although customers value reservations, restaurants typically neither charge for them nor impose penalties for failing to honor them. However, reservations impose costs on firms offering them. We highlight ways in which reservations can increase a firm’s sales by altering customer...

T here is a whole world of smartphone apps out there. It’s impossible to weed through all of them. Some of the best apps I have were recommended by a friend or colleague or even an airplane seatmate! So I asked some of our Journal of the Advanced Practitioner in Oncol ogy (JADPRO) readers about their favorite smartphone apps, and we came up with some really useful ones. All of these apps are av...

Some years ago Net Perceptions was installing its recommender software in a major catalog retailer. Our top lead consultant had been working with them for months to integrate the software into their back-end databases and front-end call center software (no mean feat: these were Windows PCs simulating IBM “green screens”!), and tuning the recommender to produce high quality recommendations that ...
