No full textBoon was born in 1781 in either Georgia or North Carolina. He lived in Warrick County and was lieutenant governor when Jennings resigned as governor to take a seat in Congress. Boon was governor for 84 days and sought to reapportion the general assembly to give representation for several new central Indiana counties. He resumed his previous office until 1824 and later served in Congress. He died in 1844 and is buried in Missouri.Use of this image is restricted to IHS reference purposes only.

Religion, prejudice, and authoritarianism : Is RWA a boon or bane to the psychology of religion?
No full textIn research on religiosity and prejudice, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) has been studied alongside variables such as fundamentalism and orthodoxy. Four concerns regarding research on the relationship between RWA and religiosity are identified: (1) the overlap of religiosity and prejudice within the RWA scale; (2) the inflation of relationships by correlating part-whole measures; (3) covariation in the extremes of the construct hiding the possible independence of components within RWA; and (4) statistical artifacts arising in multiple regression from the combination of these factors. We elaborate these four issues and then demonstrate how they can lead to different interpretations of some previously published data. The article concludes with suggestions for the management and resolution of these issues that may allow RWA to continue to be used in religiosity and prejudice research and how it might evolve to become the boon to researchers that they seek.Peer reviewe
Frederick Charles Boon 1875-1939
No full textMembers of the Association will deeply regret to hear of the death of F C. Boon. Readers of the Gazette and members attending the Annual Meetings will not need to be told of the immense work he did for the Association, in his contributions to the Gazette, his part in discussions, the way he literally carried the London Branch as Secretary and as Chairman, his years of strenuous and fruitful service on the Teaching Committee. His stalwart defence of the so-called “duffer”, the essential soundness of his outlook, his fatherly treatment (the boys at Dulwich called him “Daddy Boon”), his patience and kindliness in debate, by these he was known.</jats:p
Additions to the moss flora of Endau Rompin National Park, Johore State, peninsular Malaysia
No full textIn a recent survey of the Endau Rompin National Park (ERNP) in Johore State, 81 species and 4 varieties of mosses were documented. This increases the previous count from 62 species and 3 varieties of mosses in ERNP to 111 species and 5 varieties in total. Of these, 30 species are new records for Johore State. Rhaphidostichum bunodicarpum and Trichosteleum stigmosum are two species new to Peninsular Malaysia. Thuidium assimile is a new record for West Malesia. A new combination, Papillidiopsis aquaticum (Dix.) Boon-Chuan Ho & B.C. Tan is proposed. In terms of species composition, the pan-tropical families of Calymperaceae, Fissidentaceae, Leucobryaceae and Sematophyllaceae predominate the moss flora of ERNP

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Physical properties of insulation materials based on straw and flax boon
No full textPerformance evaluation of environmentally friendly thermal insulation materials based on crushed straw and flax boon was determined by studying the physical parameters of thermal insulation in a climatic chamber and full-scale tests in buildings. In the climatic chamber at an air temperature of –20 °С, depending on the insulation moisture content, the thermal conductivity of the flax boon and straw slabs is 0.058 - 0.072 W/(m·°С), which is 27 - 31% lower than that of straw slabs equal to 0.08 - 0.105 W/(m·°C). With a relative air humidity of 50 - 95%, the moisture content of the flax boon and straw slabs varies within the range of 14 - 18.1% or less by 24% of the values of the crushed straw insulation. Under operating conditions, the thermal conductivity of the attic floor structure with flax boon and straw slabs corresponds to 0.07 W/(m·°C) at an air temperature of –20°C and is 22% less than the similar indicator of flooring with straw slabs equal to 0.09 W/(m·°C). A lower thermal conductivity of the floor structure with the use of flax boon and straw slabs provides an increase in temperature amplitude by 5 - 5.8 °C compared with the use of straw slabs. The results of studies in the climatic chamber and full-scale tests have confirmed the most effective operation of the flax boon and straw slabs as a thermal insulation material, which reduces energy consumption and, consequently, reduces financial costs for heating buildings

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.
