OBJECTIVE: To test a theory-driven model of health behavior to predict the illicit use of
prescription stimulants (IUPS) among college students. PARTICIPANTS: A probability sample of
554 students from one university located in California (response...

For centuries, continental philosophy has clung to the belief that the world only meaningfully exists through human perception--that, in other words, when a tree falls in the forest, it does not make a sound. Literary theory, which has strong...

We present a report on a new capability for low temperature microscopy of organic
optoelectronic semiconductor materials. We may now perform photoluminescence (PL) and
conductivity measurements as a function of temperature on a microscopic...

Children’s self-regulation and socio-economic status are important factors in predicting later academic outcomes and kindergarten readiness.
This study examined relationships between socio-economic status (SES), gender differences, and...

A study of the effect of elevated pressure on the activated
sludge waste treatment process is presented. The method of study
involved a comparison of two laboratory, batch type, activated sludge
units. One unit was operated at atmospheric pressure...

This paper is a metallurgical study of the microstructure of a
cobalt base hard facing alloy to determine the cause for inconsistant
wear properties. Wear tests on a Stellite 6 alloy, deposited using
oxyacetylene welding techniques, resulted in a...

Redlich and Kister have developed two methods for evaluating
thermodynamic consistency of vapor-liquid equilibrium data. These
same authors also developed a power series for classifying systems
according to the number of coefficients required to...
