The purpose of this book is to establish a focus on affective and emotional dimensions in information behavior (IB) research, based upon recent theoretical developments and research findings in information science and the cognate fields of cognitive science, psychology, business, education, ethnomethodology, communication, neuroscience, and computer science. The affective paradigm established i...

The Hawaii State Asthma Control Program, as a part of state planning, disseminated and collected an asthma needs questionnaire aimed at answering this question: "In your opinion, what asthma-related issues need to be better addressed in Hawaii?" The top five areas of need identified by asthma stakeholders were (1) education, (2) disease management, (3) prevention, (4) healthcare, and (5) support.

This study was a prospective screening study for PPD and anergy skin test reactivity in 304 HIV-positive individuals. A PPD positivity rate of 4.1% and an anergy rate of 50.5% were observed. The Hawaii HIV population has a relatively low prevalence of latent TB compared with the high prevalence of TB in the Hawaii population at large.

When aerosols from the Hawaii volcano plume are present then the water leaving radiance derived from the SeaWifs satellite using the SeaDas algorithm is too large. It is shown that this problem may be due to the use of an incorrect aerosol model. Furthermore, it is shown that using longer wavelengths may be needed to solve the atmospheric correction problem under Hawaii volcanic aerosols.

Fecundity, length at first spawning, and spawning seasonality of Stolephorus purpureus were dete~minedby examining preserved ovarian eggs and fish captured throughout a 4-year period. Fecundity was estimated from the numbel of eggs in the most advanced ovarian mode after it was determined that all these eggs hydrated and were spawned. Fecundity (Y) was related to fish weight (X) by the hyperbol...

I j Although registration has been approximately complete only in recent years, nearly a million records are now on file, some of them dating back over a hundred years. The oldest marriage records were filed in L84I; the oldest death records in 1853; and the oldest birth records in 1853. A local registrar in each county is responsible for supervising the registration system Tvithin his arca and...
