TL;DR: Two principles for progressing from the precontemplation stage of change to the action stage were discovered and Discussion focuses on the implications of these principles for individual psychology and public health policy.
Abstract: Two principles for progressing from the precontemplation stage of change to the action stage were discovered. The strong principle states that progression from precontemplation to action is a function of approximately a 1 standard deviation increase in the pros of a health behavior change. The weak principle states that progression from precontemplation to action is a function of approximately a 1/2 standard deviation decrease in the cons of a health behavior change. In Study 1, these principles were derived from cross-sectional data on 12 problem behaviors relating the pros and cons of changing to the stages of change. In Study 2, these principles were validated on cross-sectional data from an independent sample of 1,466 smokers. Discussion focuses on the implications of these principles for individual psychology and public health policy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors build propositions of price's role vis-a-vis customer value, satisfaction, and behavioral intentions and then test these propositions using empirical data from the banking industry in the United States and New Zealand.
Abstract: Compared to the emphasis that service quality research has received in service marketing, much less work has been done on the role of price perceptions and their effect on customer retention. This article seeks to fill this gap in the literature. The authors build propositions of price’s role vis-a-vis customer value, satisfaction, and behavioral intentions and then test these propositions using empirical data from the banking industry in the United States and New Zealand. Their findings indicate that (a) price perceptions have a stronger influence on customer value perceptions than quality, and (b) price perceptions, when measured on a comparative basis, have a significant direct effect on customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions— over and above their mediated effect through the construct of customer value. These results indicate that price perceptions significantly affect customer retention and suggest that managers may benefit from actively managing consumers’ price perceptions, in addition to c...

TL;DR: Forecasting changes in HAB patterns over the next few decades will depend critically upon considering harmful algal blooms within the competitive context of plankton communities, and linking these insights to ecosystem, oceanographic and climate models.

TL;DR: Global maps of sulfate and methane in marine sediments reveal two provinces of subsurface metabolic activity: a sulfate-rich open-ocean province, and an ocean-margin province where sulfate is limited to shallow sediments.
Abstract: Global maps of sulfate and methane in marine sediments reveal two provinces of subsurface metabolic activity: a sulfate-rich open-ocean province, and an ocean-margin province where sulfate is limited to shallow sediments. Methane is produced in both regions but is abundant only in sulfate-depleted sediments. Metabolic activity is greatest in narrow zones of sulfate-reducing methane oxidation along ocean margins. The metabolic rates of subseafloor life are orders of magnitude lower than those of life on Earth's surface. Most microorganisms in subseafloor sediments are either inactive or adapted for extraordinarily low metabolic activity.

TL;DR: Future research will need to understand the various biogeochemical and geophysical cycles under anthropogenic pressures to be able to understand and predict the global fate of POPs accurately.
