TL;DR: Vogt as mentioned in this paper explored the phenomenon of wandering youth, their travel experiences and resulting impact on the visited culture, explored the primary motivation is the quest for personal growth, which is achieved through autonomy in decision-making stimulation in daily life, learning through exposure and detachment, and transient yet intense interpersonal relationships.

TL;DR: There was some suggestion that progesterone may increase colonic temperature when implanted in the preoptic area of ovariectomized rats, and estradiol benzoate in this site had no effect on Colonic temperature.

TL;DR: In this article, growth and physiological responses of whole specimens of F&us spirahs to nitrate and ammonium enrichment were measured in a continuous-flow system using seawater from the Massachusetts coast.
Abstract: Ahstract Growth and physiological responses of whole specimens of F&us spirahs to nitrate and ammonium enrichment were measured in a continuous-flow system using seawater from the Massachusetts coast. As physiological indicators of nitrogen status, total C and N, dark ammonium uptake, and respiratory stimulation by ammonium were examined in plant apices. Total nitrogen content and growth rate increased with the level of nitrate or ammonium addition, both supporting similar growth. Dark ammonium uptake was not as sensitive an indicator of nitrogen status as the respiratory stimulation by ammonium. Although the growth of F. spirabis may become nitrogen limited, plants did not exhibit severe nitrogen deficiency responses.

TL;DR: Examination of several techniques for integrating an independent contextual postprocessor (CPP) into a full classification system finds that a standardized CPP can be built independently of the rest of the classification system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the role of time in the handling of disputes in the Atlantic fishing community and found that for many cases no clear settlement process could be identified, although some involved a lengthy "cooling" period during which the alleged offense was discussed and subtle responses to it were made.
Abstract: Recent work in anthropology of law has focused on the dispute settlement process and the factors influencing choice of one form of settlement over another. This paper questions this focus and suggests alternative categories through which law as a process can be examined. Analysis of cases collected by the author in an Atlantic fishing community indicated that for many cases no settlement process could be identified, although some involved a lengthy “cooling” period during which the alleged offense was discussed and subtle responses to it were made. Some cases were successfully handled in this way; others developed into full-blown disputes; still others continued in process for several years and did not appear headed for any clear settlement. Through analysis of these case materials, three issues are raised for discussion: (1) the concept of dispute settlement as a primary focus; (2) the traditional concept of a case, in which “a” dispute is aired or presented in public and a decision made which terminates the dispute; (3) the importance of time as a variable in the handling of disputes. It is suggested that the focus on settlement reflects our bias toward viewing disputes as short-range encounters in relationships which lack a past and future. In contrast, the concept of a case as a response to grievance behavior provides a more complete picture of the ways in which conflicts are handled in different types of relations and of the ways in which disputes develop, or are avoided. In particular, the development of the grievance-response process through time and the variations in pattern of development for different social relations with different time dimensions are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the predicted occultation of κ Gem by Eros on January 24, 1975, is described and observations and observations of the occultation are described, and it is suggested that the circle should be warped into an ellipse of dimensions 21 by 13 km, or, if some weight is given to the critical negative observation and the westernmost positive observation, that the profile is a kind of dumbbell.

TL;DR: Encounter and sensitivity training have been controversial as discussed by the authors, and a decade ago it was primarily social scientists who were questioning training designs, processes during the laboratories, and resultant outcomes, and during the past few years the mass media have entered the arena with feature stories of sensational encounter programs; growth centers have sprung up throughout the United States; and skyrocketing numbers of people from diverse backgrounds have participated in

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare development in neighbouring Kenya and Tanzania and conclude that "Comparisons of development in neighboring Kenyan and Tanzania are a ''natural'' enterprise although there have been few explicit attempts to date".
