Rabbit populations were sampled regularly during 1962-64 at four sites in different climatic regions (subalpine, mediterranean, subtropical, and semi-arid) in eastern Australia. A total of 2981 rabbits were taken by shooting at night. Oocysts in the faeces were identified as Eimeria stiedae, E. media, E. perforans, E. irresidua, E. magna, E. piriformis, and E. exigua. Infections were highest and most frequent at the subalpine site, less at the sites with mediterranean and subtropical climates, and were not common at the semi-arid site. Regular seasonal fluctuations occurred at the subalpine and mediterranean sites, with troughs occurring in summer. Multiple regression analysis of oocyst count on several anatomical and climatic measurements showed that, except at the semi-arid site, oocyst count was significantly related to measurements highly correlated with host age, and to evaporation (during the preceding 8 weeks); at the semi-arid site rainfall was the only really significant factor. Differences between species of coccidia were small compared with the differences between sites.

To determine the predictive potential of selected cognitive and psychomotor variables to estimate basketball performance, 50 male high school players from 3 schools in the same conference were evaluated. One team won the Iowa state championship; the second team had a 12 and 10 record while the third team had a 4 and 16 record. The 3 coaches rated each player's ability from 1 to 10. Multiple regression analysis to predict coaches' rating of ability from vertical jump, hand reaction time, weight, and playing experience gave an R of .76. However, discriminant analysis to classify players on the 3 teams indicated as important knowledge about basketball, dribbling, shooting accuracy, and height. The canonical correlation for the 4 variables and team membership was .64. Using the 4 variables, 60% of the players could be correctly classified to their teams.

This study examined the relationship between hand length and catching performance by 257 children (142 boys, 115 girls) in Grades K–2. Children's catching performance was determined by the number of successful catches (0–5) when a small ball was tossed underhand from 10 ft. Specifically, the children were tested on the qualitative aspects of catching, i.e., form, and catching accuracy, i.e., successful catching. Hand length was measured by standard anthropometric technique. A multiple regression analysis showed age, sex, and hand length contributed significantly ( p = .001) to catching accuracy and catching form. Implications for instruction and further research are offered.

Abstract: This paper aims to examine the relationship of attitude, religious value, knowledge on zakat, law of zakat as independent variable (IV) and compliance to pay zakat on gold as dependent variable (DV). A survey approach has been adopted in this study while the data are collected via structured questionnaires. The questionnaire was distributed to 250 respondents of  Muslim women staff among academician and non-academician from three colleges in Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Sintok Kedah. In this study, the researchers developed a new construct in measuring the compliance to pay zakat on gold, knowledge on zakat and law of zakat. While, the construct in measuring attitude and religious value variable are borrowed from the previous study. The data are then quantitatively analyzed using SPSS program. The findings shows a high significant and  positive correlation between compliance to pay zakat on gold and knowledge on zakat followed by religious value, attitude and law of zakat. Further analysis using multiple regression analysis indicated that only knowledge on zakat, attitude and law of zakat give a significant and positive impact on zakat compliance payment on gold. The result of study contributed to the knowledge of zakat compliance. It is implied that the zakat authority need to intensify their efforts to further improve the effectiveness of education about zakat. Besides, it is proposed that zakat authority strives to cultivate a positive attitude of society towards zakat on gold using various strategic method.

The purpose of this study was to examine the assumption in the Developmental Therapy model that there is a close relationship between presenting behavior problems and developmental deficits. The assumption was tested by running a stepwise, backward multiple regression analysis on scores obtained for 33 subjects on two instruments used in the Developmental Therapy model to assess presenting behavior problems and developmental deficits. The analysis failed to support the assumption that the two classes of variables are related.

A total of 2881 rabbits were shot during 1962-64 in regular samples from four sites representing different climatic regions in eastern Australia. Samples of the faeces were examined for coccidial oocysts. Seven species of Eimeria (E. stiedae, E. media, E. perforans, E. irresidua, E. magna, E. piriformis, and E. exigua) were recorded. Dried lens weight and paunched (eviscerated) body weight of the rabbits were used as estimates of age. A decrease in oocyst output with increasing age of the rabbit was apparent when progeny of particular breeding seasons were followed and when all data were grouped together at the subalpine site. Linear regression analysis showed that the decrease was greatest at the subalpine site, where the young had high oocyst counts, less in the subtropical and Mediterranean climates, and virtually absent at the arid site. The rate of the decrease varied between species; it was greatest for E. magna and was slight and variable in occurrence for E. piriformis. Adult rabbits transported from the arid site to infected pasture in Canberra were found from 1 to 10 weeks after release to have an oocyst count comparable to that of young rabbits at the subalpine site. Cage-reared progeny of the rabbits from the arid site were more susceptible to accidental infection than cage-reared progeny of rabbits from the temperate southern tablelands of New South Wales.

A methodology is presented to estimate the safe carrying capacity of properties in extensive cattle- grazing regions within tropical, semi-arid woodlands of north-eastern Australia. Carrying capacities for 45 properties were calculated from resource information collected from the properties. These calculated carrying capacities were then compared with graziers' estimates and with Queensland Department of Lands' ratings. The rated carrying capacities were not correlated with either the calculated values or the graziers' estimates, and in general were much lower than both other values. The graziers' estimates and the calculated values were highly correlated with a slope not significantly different from 1 (p>0.1). This methodology could form the basis of a review of rated carrying capacities on an objective basis. Refinements would be necessary to improve the determination of individual cases with particular emphasis on spatial variability of resource use and fine scale variability in soil fertility and tree and shrub density.

Generally, manufacturing capability is the important factor in running and developing business. Hence, this research is aimed to identifying the relationships of critical factors and make sure the companies can survive in the northern region of Malaysia. Those identified factors are training and manufacturing capabilities. Through the email survey, a total of 89 companies representing electrical and electronic industries had responded. The hypotheses involved were tested using correlation and regression techniques. The results of the study support all the hypotheses. The multiple regression analysis indicates that there are significant relationships among the factors on each criterion to manufacturing capabilities. While hierarchical multiple regression analysis was carried out to test the role of moderating in the relationship between independent variables with dependent variables. It is believed that results of this study will be beneficial for shareholders and directors of companies to apply these manufacturing capabilities.

The present study was conducted to assess the relationship between hostility and white space responses on the Rorschach. The Rorschach was administered individually to 80 volunteer students on the university campus. 71 subjects were undergraduates and 9 were graduates. The mean age for the group was 24 yr. Among the males, 19 were white and 4 were non-white; among the females, 49 were white and 8 were non-white. Level of hostility was determined by Elizur's scoring of content and by adding all the weights for each subject's protocol. Percent was obtained for each subject by dividing the total of such responses by R or total number of responses. A significant correlation of .20 was obtained between level of hostility and white space responses. A correlation of .46 between total responses and white space responses was also significant. Gender and level of hostility correlated —.33. A multiple regression analysis gave an r of .51 for the combination of gender and total responses and level of hostility.
