The degrees of pairs of terms applied to color sequences, such as natural-unnatural, have been investigated previously. Two terms, natural and complex (or unnatural), were described by Ohi & Kawasaki (1996), where after several terms were commonly used to describe the characteristics and associative meanings of colors (Sivik, 1997). In previous studies by this author, the various effects of tem...

In recent years, the Coastal Water Research Project has conducted surveys of the distribution of certain trace substances in sediments around the major municipal wastewater outfalls off southern California. Because of high levels of heavy metals found in sediments near Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts outfall system off Whites Point in 1970, detailed surveys of the Palos Verdes shelf wer...

A study on genetic diversity and principal component analysis (PCA) in a set of 90 fertility restorer lines rice was conducted to identify potential parents for producing high-yielding hybrids. The D2 statistics uncovered the maximum inter-cluster distance between clusters having different genotypes. genotypes PS 2, PRR 828, JR-4322-2, JR-4322-2 belonging these diversified gene pools may produc...

The present study examined the cognitive processes by which perceived locus of causality influences participation in leisure time physical activity. Based on the theoretical tenets of self-determination theory, it was hypothesized that deliberative modes of information processing and past behaviour will account for the direct effects of perceived locus of causality on effort and physical activi...

1971 The purpose of this paper is to exhibit a theory of integration which can be used on a large class of topological spaces and which generalizes the theory of integration over the locally compact Hausdorff spaces. The first part of the paper is devoted to the construction of such a theory. An integral is viewed as a positive linear functional having a certain extension property on a particul...

M ARKETING thinking and practice has been gradually moving into service industries. Its role in service industries is still limited, however. It has achieved some utilization in banks and airlines, to a lesser degree in insurance, brokerage, and public transportation, and still less in law, accounting, management consulting, medicine, architecture, and engineering. Even marketing research firms...
