Police work experiences and their relationship to burnout and organizational citizenship behaviour
(1997)Recent police stress literature has consistently asserted that organizational aspects of work, rather than operational ones, are identified by officers as being the most stressful. Exposure to perceived workplace stress ... -
Pollen pool heterogeneity in jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) : a problem for estimating population outcrossing rate?
(1990)Pollen pool heterogeneity, which violates an assumption of the mixed-mating model, is one of the major problems facing population geneticists concerned with measuring plant mating systems. In the present study, isozyme ... -
Pollen pool heterogeneity in natural stands of upland and lowland black spruce (Picea marinana (Mill.) B.S.P.)
(1991)One of the basic assumptions of the mixed-mating model is that the pollen pool of a population is homogeneous. However mounting evidence would suggest that a homogeneous pollen pool is not the norm in populations of ... -
Polymorphic regions of the estrogen receptor, androgen receptor and serotonin transporter genes and their association with mood variability in young women
(2006)The present study examined whether genetic polymorphisms on the estrogen receptor, androgen receptor, and serotonin transporter genes affect mood reactivity or mood variability in women. A total of 279 women from the ... -
