visual field testing with reduced sets of test points. a computerized analysis.	a computerized analysis of visual fields is described. in a second step these results are condensed into a 'reduced' set of test points so constructed that if testing is limited to 6-8 points nearly all defective visual fields would have been spotted with at least one defective point. the 'reduced' set involves the testing of few points several times in a session rather than spending very few trials on a great number of points. this is a new approach which merits further investigation.	2009	2698335

cultural contributions to constructing locus-of-control attributions.	locus of control attribution patterns have been demonstrated to predict a variety of behavioral and adaptational characteristics in a number of societies. as a consequence, questions concerning the comparability of those attributions across cultures have been of interest to social and personality theorists as well as to their more action-oriented colleagues. in the present study, the processes used by indian college students to form those attributions have been studied and compared with those us ...	2009	2767420
surface properties and ultrastructure of edwardsiella species.	twenty-two strains of edwardsiella representing the three currently recognized species were evaluated for surface characteristics and ultrastructural morphology. all isolates tested possessed a high surface cell charge as detected by deae-cellulose chromatography; surface hydrophobicity was variable and strain but not species dependent. two major types of adhesins detected by hemagglutination assays were identified: one was inhibited by d-mannose (mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin) and found on al ...	1989	2768468
