How can historians of small spaces and cities focus on local events and issues and at the same time carry on conversations with peers in a disciplinar... [more]
Building on recent works that question a simplistic, White narrative of the history of academic oral history, this article focuses on the labors of Bl... [more]
Sexual and vegetative reproduction of clonal plants phenotypically differ in dispersal distance, in the phenology of offspring production and establishment, and in the success of establishment. We applied a combination of analytical and of spatially expli
Life history traits in guppies (Poecilia reticulata) vary geographically along a predator assemblage gradient, and held experiments have indicated that the association may be causal; guppies introduced from high predation sites to low predation sites have
Background: Suicide represents a major health problem in the United States, and prediction of suicide attempts is difficult. No structural neuroimaging studies have been done to specifically examine findings in patients who have attempted suicide. The obj
Many issues seem to have appeared, disappeared, and reappeared in the behavioral sciences during the 20th century. Salient examples discussed in the present paper are consciousness, including the concept itself and consciousness in nonhuman animals, the m
Parasites can have dramatic effects on life-history decisions of hosts such as timing of reproduction, clutch size, and investment in individual offspring, depending on the timing of parasite effects on host fitness. Moreover, parasites may influence the
Objectives Although it is accepted that history taking is central to correct diagnosis, little work has been undertaken on the development of sexual history taking, particularly in a primary care context where sexual health may not occur to the patient. E
A group of alkaline igneous rocks is exposed in the north of the Peshawar Plain, extending from Tarbela in the east up to Loe-Shilman near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in the west. The alkaline rocks consist mainly of granites, syenites, gabbros, ijoli
A population of the marine isopod Ligia exotica was found in an inland habitat subject to unpredictable aridity. We studied the demography of littoral and inland populations in an attempt to define the variations in life history enabling this inland invas
The flight-capable morph of the wing-polymorphic cricket, Gryllus firmus, accumulated a substantially greater quantity of total lipid and triglyceride, compared with the obligately flightless morph, during the first five days of adulthood. Increased lipid
Samples of guanaco bone from an archaeological site in the Pampas of Argentina have been analysed to understand the diagenetic profile of the bone assemblages that characterized the taphonomic history of the site. Two archaeological occupations of Paso Ot
In Greece, sectional hair analysis, in addition to clinical examination, has been used as a valuable tool for the confirmation of a person's history of drug use. The present report concerns the toxicologic analysis of the exhumed remains and hair samples
1. We determined whether reproductive costs associated with precocious or later breeding by female Townsend's voles (Microtus townsendii) differ and how this relates to the multivoltine life history of microtines. We related the probability of mothers su
Objective: To estimate the relative validity of a computerised dietary history instrument (DISHES 98). Settings: Munich and Berlin. Subjects: A total of 148 persons aged 19-59 y recruited from two research centres. Design: A relative validation study. Ene
The Bohai Basin is a part of the larger Bohai Bay Basin, a Cenozoic rifted intraplate basin. Heat flow measurements show that the Bohai Basin is characterized by present-day heat flow varying between 53 and 74 mW/m(2) with a mean of 63 mW/m(2). However, t
Ranunculus repens L. is a clonal perennial that occurs in a wide range of environmental conditions. This species is also a notorious weed of disturbed habitats. Life history parameters of clones from 24 Irish populations of R. repens from ruderal, marsh a
