Clinicians (N = 308) responded to identical counseling vignettes of a male client that differed only in the client's stated birth order.Clinicians developed different impressions about the client and his family experiences that corresponded with the prototypical descriptions of persons from 1 of 4 birth orders (i.e., first, middle, youngest, and only). Once the client was viewed as exemplifying a particular birth order, clinicians' prognostic ratings differed according to the client's birth order.
To study fungi causing decay of Pinus radiata in New Zealand, basidiomycetes were obtained from P. radiata wood, fruiting bodies on P. radiata and culture collections. Thirty-eight fungi were screened for decay potential using a wood block assay and a cellulase assay to identify those suitable for further study. Twenty isolates caused significant wood weight losses relative to uninoculated controls. Thirteen brown rot fungi produced the greatest weight losses (7.7-27.1%). Cellulolytic activity was exhibited by all fungi but was highest for six white rot fungi (0.18-0.35 µmoles glucose/min/ml). There was no correlation between wood weight loss and cellulolytic activity for the test fungi under these assay conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
