TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the defluoridation performance and adsorption mechanism of a high capacity hydrous zirconium oxide adsorbent and showed that the adsorment capacity showed a continuously increasing trend with decreasing pH.

TL;DR: Results indicate that most consumers prefer more tender steaks and that many are willing to pay a premium for tender Steakburgers.
Abstract: Experimental methods were used to examine consumer willingness-to-pay for steak tenderness in a grocery store setting. When relying on a taste test alone to determine product quality, the participants paid an average premium of $1.23/lb for a tender versus tough steak. Fifty-one percent of the participants were willing to pay an average of $1.84/lb when they had completed a taste test and were also provided information about the steak’s tenderness. Results indicate that most consumers prefer more tender steaks and that many are willing to pay a premium for tender steaks.

TL;DR: This article used self-report data from a survey of undergraduate students enrolled in sociology courses at a large southwestern university to test Gottfredson and Hirschi's general theory of crime, and the results of their analyses, although rather mixed, do provide qualified support for the theory.
Abstract: This study uses academic dishonesty as a unique type of fraudulent behavior upon which to test Gottfredson and Hirschi's general theory of crime. The study utilizes self‐report data from a survey of undergraduate students enrolled in sociology courses at a large southwestern university. With these data, the authors examine a number of the core theoretical propositions of Gottfredson and Hirschi's theory. That is, we test issues concerning the dimensionality of low self‐control, the influence of parenting on the development of self‐control, the association between levels of self‐control and involvement in academic dishonesty, and the interactive effects of low self‐control and opportunity on the frequency of academic dishonesty. The results of our analyses, although rather mixed, do provide qualified support for the theory.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss shortcomings in our knowledge of the feeding ecology and trophic status of tadpoles and provide suggestions and examples of how we can more accurately quantify their trophicity status and ecological significance.
Abstract: Summary
1. Understanding the trophic status of consumers in freshwater habitats is central to understanding their ecological roles and significance. Tadpoles are a diverse and abundant component of many freshwater habitats, yet we know relatively little about their feeding ecology and true trophic status compared with many other consumer groups. While many tadpole species are labelled herbivores or detritivores, there is surprisingly little evidence to support these trophic assignments.
2. Here we discuss shortcomings in our knowledge of the feeding ecology and trophic status of tadpoles and provide suggestions and examples of how we can more accurately quantify their trophic status and ecological significance.
3. Given the catastrophic amphibian declines that are ongoing in many regions of the planet, there is a sense of urgency regarding this information. Understanding the varied ecological roles of tadpoles will allow for more effective conservation of remaining populations, benefit captive breeding programmes, and allow for more accurate predictions of the ecological consequences of their losses.

TL;DR: The authors found that students studying graphic organizers learned more hierarchical and coordinate relations, and as a result, they were more successful in applying that knowledge and in writing integrated essays than students studying outlines or text alone.
Abstract: Most research on graphic organizers (ie, figural organizations of text information) has failed to simulate actual classroom learning Typically, studies have used short, poorly organized text, single graphic organizers, and immediate tests measuring only factual knowledge Also, there is no convincing evidence that graphic organizers are better than outlines Two experiments were conducted that represented attempts to address these problems in answering the question, What types of text information do graphic organizers and outlines help college students learn ? Results revealed that when given enough time, students studying graphic organizers learned more hierarchical and coordinate relations, and as a result, they were more successful in applying that knowledge and in writing integrated essays than students studying outlines or text alone These findings are discussed in terms of efficient indexing through visual argument
