On October 21, 2015, the Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) was notified of a positive dengue immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody result in a woman residing on Hawaii Island (also known as the Big Island). The patient had no history of travel off the island, and other family members reported having similar signs and symptoms, which consisted of fever, headache, myalgias and arthralgias, and a gener...

Depths between 150 and 400 m off Oahu, Hawaii, were surveyed by submarine, gill nets, and traps. Depth of capture or observations and other data are given for 47 species of fishes and 20 species of decapod Crustacea. Of these species, 10 fishes and five crustaceans are either undescribed or new records for Hawaii. Four other fishes collected and several others observed from the submarine are pr...

Tourism is the most economically important industry to the United States’ only island state, Hawaii. With Hawaii’s highest spending and largest international tourist segment, Japanese, decreasing significantly (a loss from over 2,000,000 in 1997 to just over 1,000,000 Japanese visitors in 2009), Hawaii needs to prepare to replace the significant decrease of Japanese visitors with a new visitor ...

We measured CO(2) efflux from wood for Eucalyptus in Hawaii for 7 years and compared these measurements with those on three- and four-and-a-half-year-old Eucalyptus in Brazil. In Hawaii, CO(2) efflux from wood per unit biomass declined approximately 10x from age two to age five, twice as much as the decline in tree growth. The CO(2) efflux from wood in Brazil was 8-10x lower than that for compa...

BACKGROUND Recent findings showed that elite Ironman triathletes competing in 'Ironman Hawaii' improved both split and overall race times. The present study investigated whether elite athletes also improved in transition time (i.e. time needed between disciplines for changing clothes and equipment). METHODS Changes in split times, overall race times and transition times (i.e. expressed in abs...

Green coffee bean isotopes have been used to trace the effects of different climatic and geological characteristics associated with the Hawaii islands. Isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry ((MC)-ICP-SFMS and ICP-QMS) were applied to determine the isotopic composition of carbon (δ13C), nitrogen (δ15N), sulfur (δ34S), and oxygen (δ18O), the isoto...

The COVID-19 pandemic caused many effects on the referrals to and work of governmental agencies working with young children. This article describes impact use early childhood evaluations services in State Hawaii. We looked at several nonpublic data sets from Hawaii Department Health Human Services, comparing rates intervention referrals, lead level screening, immunizations, child welfare 2019 2...

In this paper, we provide a basic introduction to several popular cooperative learning activities and explore how these activities might be modified for computer-based science learning activities. We review research that describes science programs that employ collaboration. Then, we describe innovative computerbased tools developed and/or utilized at the University of Hawaii Curriculum Research...
