Secchi disk transparency in lakes is a function not only of the turbidity caused primarily by plankton, but also of the organic color level in the water. Multiple regression analysis of data from 55 Florida lakes yielded a close-fitting equation of the type (SD)−1 = a(Color) + b(Turbidity) + c. The statistical relationships between inverse transparency and chlorophyll a and between log transparency and log chlorophyll a exhibited greater scatter. Experiments in which concentrated solutions of humic substances were added to a large plastic "limno-bag" verified the linear relationship between (SD)−1 and color content but yielded a different slope than that obtained by regression analysis. The maximum possible transparency (assuming zero turbidity) was similar for both the experimental and regression relationships at color levels above 50 platinum (Pt) units, but increasingly divergent results were predicted by the two approaches at lower color levels. At a color of 100 Pt units, the maximum Secchi disk transparency is about 2.4–2.8 m. Because of the crudeness of transparency measurements, use of the above regression equation to compute transparencies from measured turbidities appears to be more reliable than use of the experimentally derived equation. Key words: Secchi disk, transparency, color, turbidity, trophic indicator, chlorophyll a, light attenuation

Mean cladoceran body length of 59 northeastern U.S. lakes was estimated from functional groups that broadly define taxonomic, body size, and grazing potential. Multiple regression of body length, color, and chlorophyll a or total phosphorus against Secchi disk transparency explained 72% and 83% of the variation across lakes, respectively. Analysis that included body length, color, and particulate carbon, a proxy for light backscattering and absorption by suspended organic particles, explained 85% of the variance in transparency. Body length was as important a predictor of water clarity as chemical factors. Furthermore, body length was significantly correlated to temporal variation in transparency within lakes. Because cladocerans primarily filter organic particles in size ranges having high light attenuation efficiencies, body length was consistently more strongly correlated to transparency than to chlorophyll a. Monitoring cladoceran body length should help to distinguish changes in lake transparency due to nutrient loading from changes that reflect fish population size structure and predation intensity on zooplankton. This simple size index can greatly increase the interpretative value of Secchi transparency observations to lake managers.

Abstract. The purpose of this research was to examine the relation between democratic-parenting and self confidence with independent new college student. The subject of the study were 131 new  college student of faculty preaching the state islamic institute sunan ampel surabaya. Data were collected by scale of democratic-parenting, self confidence and independent scale. The data analysis used multiple regression analysis showed that the democratic-parenting anda self confidence have a significant relation with independent new  college student. The result of correlation analysis between either democratic-parenting or self confidence with independent showed a positive correlation signifycantly. Variables of democratic parenting and self confidence give effecttive contribution toward independent new college student about 51,3%.Key words : Democratic-Parenting, Self Confidence, Independent New College Student.

Seasonal trends in cambial electrical resistance (CER) of Loring and Redhaven peach trees (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) were monitored with the use of a Shigometer. Three readings were taken on the main trunk of each tree periodically from early June 1981 through early December 1982. Individual records were maintained for each tree. One increment core was also taken from the trunk of each tree in late November 1982. The data suggested a relationship between CER and the onset of dormancy and a multiple regression analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between CER and growth, cultivar, and a growth-cultivar interaction (R2 = 0.61).Key words: Prunus persica, dormancy, growth, electrical resistance, peach

Chilean inland-water ecosystems are characterized by their low species-level biodiversity. This study analyses available data on surface area, maximum depth, conductivity, chlorophyll-a concentration, and zooplankton crustacean species number in lakes and ponds between 23º and 51ºS. The study uses multiple regression analysis to identify the potential factors affecting the species number. The partial correlation analysis indicated a direct significant correlation between chlorophyll-a concentration and species number, whereas the multiple regression analysis indicated a direct significant response of species number to latitude and chlorophyll-a concentration. These results agree with findings from comparable ecosystems in Argentina and New Zealand.

<p>The objectives of the study were to measure the influence of product attribute perception to attitude toward product, the effect of attitude toward product to repeat purchase intention and to confirm that attitude toward product is<br />a mediating variable between effect in relationship of product attribute perception to repeat purchase intention. One hundred (100) housewives determined by judgmental sampling method were used in the study. The criterion of<br />respondent selected was that he/she has a role as food buying decision maker. Data were analyzed by simple and multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that perception on product attribute had significant effect on<br />attitudes toward product and attitude toward product influenced repeat purchase intention. The study showed that 36.5% attitude toward product can be explained by consumer product attribute perception, while 61.6% repeat purchase intention can be explained by attitude toward product. Study also confirmed that attitude toward product attribute was a fully mediating variable relationship of attitude and purchase intention.</p><p>(Key words: Perception, Attitude, Repeat purchase intention)<br /><br /></p>

Abstract Background To explore the relationship between peripheral lymphocyte counts (PLCs) and the mortality risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), as well as the potential of PLC for predicting COVID-19 hospitalized patients death. Methods Baseline characteristics, laboratory tests, imaging examinations, and outcomes of 134 consecutive COVID-19 hospitalized patients were collected from a tertiary hospital in Wuhan city from January 25 to February 24, 2020. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the PLC at admission and mortality risk in COVID-19 patients and to establish a model for predicting death in COVID-19 hospitalized patients based on PLC. Results After adjusting for potential confounding factors, we found a non-linear relationship and threshold saturation effect between PLC and mortality risk in COVID-19 patients (infection point of PLC: 0.95 × 109/L). Multiple regression analysis showed that when PLCs of COVID-19 patients were lower than 0.95 × 109/L, the patients had a significantly higher mortality risk as compared to COVID-19 patient with PLCs > 0.95 × 109/L (OR 7.27; 95% CI 1.10–48.25). The predictive power of PLC for death in COVID-19 patients (presented as area under the curve) was 0.78. The decision curve analysis showed that PLC had clinical utility for the prediction of death in COVID-19 inpatients. Conclusions PLC had a non-linear relationship with mortality risk in COVID-19 inpatients. Reduced PLCs (< 0.95 × 109/L) were associated with an increased mortality risk in COVID-19 inpatients. PLCs also had a potential predictive value for the death of COVID-19 inpatients.
