Monthly visits to 2 field sites in southern Mississippi were made to determine the influence of monitor examination on feeding site affinity by southeastern native subterranean termites (Reticulitermes spp.). Wooden board monitors were examined once every 30, 60, or 90 days. Presence of live termites and damage to the boards (both binary parameters) were collected for each plot examined over a ...

In the present study, we proposed a modification in one of the most frequently applied effect-size procedures in single-case data analysis: the percentage of nonoverlapping data. In contrast with other techniques, the calculus and interpretation of this procedure are straightforward and can be easily complemented by visual inspection of the graphed data. Although the percentage of nonoverlappin...

We studied the suitability of in vitro dialysis with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes to remove small amounts of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) from plasma to be used as diluent for the standards in radioimmunoassays (RIA). Incubation of PAN membrane fragments with radiolabeled IL-1 beta or TNF yielded a significant binding of both cytokines to the membrane (per...

We studied the suitability of in vitro dialysis with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes to remove small amounts of interleukin-1(3 (ILlp) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) from plasma to be used as diluent for the standards in radioimmunoassays (RIA). Incubation o f PAN membrane fragments with radiolabeled IL-1(3 or TNF yielded a significant binding of both cytokines to the membrane (percentage of...
