This study assesses the trends and differentials in length of quality life in the U.S. population as measured by happy life expectancy in 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000. The analysis combines age-specific prevalence rates of subjective well-being from a large nationally representative survey and life table estimates of mortality in decennial Census years. Employing the period prevalence-rate life t...

The purpose of this methodology article is to describe a suitable format for a legally acceptable report on the life expectancy of the principal in a tort case that is being advocated or defended by an attorney. Life insurance medical directors and underwriters are clearly skilled and experienced in mortality risk classification for life insurance. However, the judicial system is accustomed to ...

life table parameters of the beet armyworm, spodoptera exigua (hã¼bner), on four sugar beet cultivars (renger, fd0005, dorothea and shirin) were studied in laboratory at 27 â± 1â°c, 60 â± 5% rh and a photoperiod of 16l: 8d hours. the larvae successfully developed on all cultivars. the shortest and longest total developmental time were recorded on fd0005 and renger, respectively. the development...

abstract: colorado potato beetle (cpb), leptinotarsa decemlineata (say),is the most important insect pest of potato in iran. if local potato varieties vary in susceptibility to the pest, host plant resistance may provide management benefits to potato growers. a life table study was carried out to determine the relative suitability of four common potato varieties (agria, marfona, savalan and sat...

the life table parameters of macrosiphum rosae l. (hemiptera: aphididae) on five vermicompost-tea (tea-compost) concentrations (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%) and control treatment (0%) on rosa hybrida l. were determined under laboratory conditions. there were significant differences among pre-imaginal period and adult longevity of the aphid on the five teacompost concentrations. the highest mortalit...

The Adonis ladybird, Hippodamia variegataGoeze (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is known as an important predator of the Common pistachio psylla, Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt & Lauterer (Hemiptera: Psyllidae). Despite using the selective pesticides to manage the pests in the pistachio orchards, these chemicals have influenced non-target organisms like predators and parasitoids. ...
