The Communication Patterns Questionnaire (CPQ; Christensen, 1987) is a widely used self-report measure of couple communication behavior and is well validated for assessing the demand/withdraw interaction pattern, which is a robust predictor of poor relationship and individual outcomes (Schrodt, Witt, & Shimkowski, 2014). However, no studies have examined the CPQ's factor structure using analyti...

Amyelois transitella Walker (navel orangeworm) is an important polyphagous pest of nut and fruit tree crops in California. Bifenthrin resistance, partially attributable to enhanced cytoc...

Let 0 < p ≤ q ≤ +∞. Let T be a bounded sublinear operator from a Banach space X into an Lp(Ω,μ) and let ∇T be the set of all linear operators ≤ T . In the present paper, we will show the following. Let C be a positive constant. For all u in ∇T , Cpq(u) ≤ C (i.e., u admits a factorization of the form X ũ → Lq(Ω,μ) Mgu → Lp(Ω,μ), where ũ is a bounded linear operator with ‖ũ‖ ≤ C , Mgu is the bo...
