Most microhabitat features were similar between burned versus unburned areas, but fire had differential impacts on the ecology of male versus female toads. In burned areas females were less numerous but were larger, in better body condition, and had consumed more prey (especially, coleopterans and...
We studied how capuchin monkeys and 2- to 5-year-old children used information originating from their own actions, those of a human demonstrator, or an animated cue. This information, presented via a touchscreen, always revealed in the first trial (T1) the reward value (rewarded or unrewarded...
In particular, Birnberg and Snodgrass (1988) found that, despite their high uncertainty avoidance, Japanese firms used fewer bureaucratic procedures than US firms.

Given the relationship between age and memory, we explored the ...

is perhaps in the process of addressing its addiction to incarceration, and moving toward an orientation that places greater emphasis on public health versus criminal justice vis-a-vis substance use and abuse. The SVORI dataset provides the opportunity to examine a large sample of reentering ex-...
This then leads to fewer patients being diagnosed as false positive (low CSF Aβ42) or false negative (high CSF Aβ42). Effects of non-AD pathologies on Aβ42, Aβ40 and the Aβ42/40 ratio, such as WMLs, PDD and DLB In clinical practice, CSF biomarker analyses are often carried ...
Results from our national survey of 542 organic fruit and vegetable farmers show that fewer agroecological practices were used on large farms, which also exhibited the greatest degree of conventionalization. Intercropping, insectary plantings and border plantings were at least 1.4 times more likely ...
gender, age, education, income, people in five of the six disability types reported less access to internet and lower skills as compared to the general population. In contrary, having a hearing impairment increased the odds of access to the internet as compared to the general population. ...
