The aim of the present study was to explore the experiences and constructed meanings that described counseling students’ purpose in life in relation to their career development. After conducting semi-structured interviews with 22 students, we adopted…

Proximal sensing is used in vineyards to precisely monitor and manage spatial and temporal variability while reducing laborious and repetitive measurements. Soil electrical conductivity (EC) and canopy vegetation indexes are two frequently assessed…

Handbook of Terror Management Theory provides an overview of Terror Management Theory (TMT), including critical research derived from the theory, recent research that has expanded and refined the theory, and the many ways the theory has been utilized…

Pre- and in-service teachers’ professional development is critical in the lifelong learning era. This case study explores 27 pre- and in-service teachers’ reasons for selecting a MOOC, their learning experiences, and their perceptions of the value…

This paper considers the production planning problem of a firm that produces a single product using a process that has multiple production lines (or machines) in parallel, each with a finite production capacity. Specifically, the firm has m parallel…

For the past several decades, synchrotron radiation has been extensively used to measure the spatial distribution and chemical affinity of elements found in trace concentrations (<few µg/g) in animal and human tissues. Intense and highly focused…

Salmonid populations of the Central Valley of California have been in decline for decades, making hatchery practices that combine conservation strategies with targeted research essential to optimize recruitment to adulthood. Hatchery populations…

Grapevine productivity, and berry and wine flavonoid concentration, depend on the interactions of cultivar, environment, and applied cultural practices. We characterized the effects that mechanical leaf removal and irrigation treatments had on the…

This study explores the relationship between religious service attendance, social ties, and health among former NFL players, a population with relatively high levels of religious attendance who endure physically demanding occupations. Research shows…

Protein–polyphenol interactions play a very important role in wine stability assessment, especially in red varieties. Different polysaccharides can influence these interactions by protecting or disrupting charges and are even used as additives to…

Prior studies have hypothesized that some polluted white dwarfs record continent-like granitic crust—which is abundant on Earth and perhaps uniquely indicative of plate tectonics. But these inferences derive from only a few elements, none of which…

As Jacques Derrida notes, the question of memory is not just a question of the past; instead memory is entangled with future generations and representations.¹ This entanglement is evident through the recycled Holocaust imagery utilized in the…

The availability of phosphorus limits primary production in large regions of the oceans, and marine microbes use a variety of strategies to overcome this limitation. One strategy is the production of alkaline phosphatase (APase), which allows…

Regional anesthesia has been proven to be a successful modality in the reduction of postoperative pain for numerous types of surgeries. Regional anesthesia for surgeries involving the hip is no exception. Hip fractures are common in the elderly…

One approach to support students with ASD in general education classrooms is peer-mediated instruction and intervention (PMII). PMII is an evidence-based practice in which peers serve to support both the academic achievement and social-skill…

Pedro de Urdemalas, the main protagonist of Cervantes's play of the same name, has been extensively studied as a Protean figure due to his malleability to adapt to the various professions and masks he adopts throughout the comedia. This essay…
