MORE SIMILARITY IF DIFFERENT, MORE DIFFERENCE IF SIMILAR: ASSIMILATION, COLORBLINDNESS, MULTICULTURALISM, POLYCULTURALISM, AND GENERALIZED AND SPECIFIC NEGATIVE INTERGROUP BIAS

The creation of a social climate where all ethnic groups can harmoniously coexist is a central challenge for many countries today.Should we emphasize similarities and common ground or, conversely, recognize that there are important differences between groups? The current study examined relations between diversity ideologies (assimilation, colorblin

We present here a detailed description of Ctenodaphnia-type Daphnia specimens collected from lakes in the Nepalese Himalayas between 1994 and 2004, including mature females and adult males.The specimens examined share certain diagnostic traits with Daphnia tibetana (Sars 1903), Bundles and others with Daphnia fusca (Gurney 1906).A re-appraisal of t

Light is not only a very important source of energy for the normal growth and development of plants, but also a regulator of many development and metabolic processes.The mechanism of plant growth and development under low light conditions is an important scientific question.With the promulgation of the law to stop natural forest cutting, understory

An in vitro plant microshoot culture system composed of two phases; a liquid phase ACU overlaid by a floating solid phase, which is described in detail herein.This system is designed to enable the extraction of natural compounds released/disseminated into the liquid phase during root growth, thus facilitating their processing and biochemical charac

Introduction: Rates of diabetes/prediabetes continue to increase, with disparity populations disproportionately affected.Previous field trials promoted point-of-care (POC) glycemic screening in dental settings as an additional primary care setting to identify potentially at-risk individuals requiring integrated care intervention.The present study o
