Aggression in adolescents: Use of the Buss-Durkee Inventory.

The Buss-Durkee Inventory (BDI) is a 75-item true-false design to measure hostility and aggression. Norms have been established for adult populations, and data are available for adult psychiatric populations. Adolescent norms have not been established, nor are data available for adolescent psychiatric populations.

Population changes in enteric bacteria and other microorganisms during aerobic thermophilic windrow composting.

Composting of wastes from swine feeding operations was studied. The effects of the frequency of turning the wastes and addition of straw to improve the physical structure were studied to determine the most effective technique to rapidly increase the temperature and, consequently, destroy coliforms and Salmonella. Four different treatments were studied; the results showed that, with addition of 5% (wt/wt) straw and mechanical turning of the compost 20 times per week, the temperature reached 60 C within 3 days and enteric bacteria were destroyed within 14 days.
