The reliability and validity of ipsative and normative forms of the Hutchins Behavior Inventory
… He also created the Hutchins Behavior Inventory (HBI) to complement the TFA System. The HBI purportedly measures the thinking, feeling, and acting dimensions of behavior upon which the TFA System is built; it thus enables a practitioner to assess the unique, situationally specific, TFA behavior …

The Development and Evaluation of the Healthy Beverage Index for U.S. Children and Adolescents
… beverage patterns, the Healthy Beverage Index (HBI) was created for adults. This tool provides a score from 0-100, with higher scores indicating better adherence to evidence-based beverage recommendations. Because many beverage recommendations for children and adolescents differ from those for …

SOURCES AND STRUCTURES OF COMMONLY OCCURRING HIGHLY BRANCHED ISOPRENOID ALKENES
Highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) alkenes are ubiquitous lipids which have been identified in numerous geochemical samples, ranging from recent sediments to ancient oils. At the outset of the current investigation, the diatomaceous algae Haslea ostrearia (C25 alkenes) and Rhizosolenia setigera (C25 …

ORIGINS AND SHORT-TERM SEDIMENTARY FATE OF GLOBALLY DISTRIBUTED BIOLOGICAL MARKER HYDROCARBONS
… C20, C25, and C30 highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) hydrocarbons have been detected, sometimes in high concentrations, in recent freshwater, estuarine, coastal and hypersaline sediments, and water column particulate matter from numerous locations worldwide. The parent structures have been proved …

Quality of heart rate variability features obtained from ballistocardiograms
Heartbeat intervals (HBIs) vary over time, and that variance can be quantified as heart rate variability (HRV). HRV has several health-related applications including long-term health monitoring and sleep quality assessment. The focus of this research is obtaining HRV from ballistocardiograms …

STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISATION OF HIGHLY BRANCHED ISOPRENOID ALKENES FROM SEDIMENTS AND ALGAE
At least fourteen C25 highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) alkenes have been previously reported in estuarine and coastal sediments from locations worldwide. The parent alkane structure has been proven but only a few of the double bond positions established previously. A wide body of evidence suggests …

Development of biomarker-based proxies for paleo sea-ice reconstructions
… (a mono-unsaturated Highly Branched Isoprenoid (HBI) alkene) in Arctic marine sediments has previously been shown to provide a useful qualitative proxy measure for the past spring sea-ice occurrence. In the Southern Ocean the occurrence and variable abundance of a structurally similar …

Structural Characterisation and the Diagenetic Pathways of C25 Highly Branched Isoprenoid Hydrocarbons
Highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) hydrocarbons have been widely reported in recent sediments. It is known that two species of diatomaceous algae, the diatoms Haslea ostrearia and Rhizosolenia setigera are able to biosynthesise C25 HBI alkenes. Large scale cultures of H. ostrearia studied previously, …

A Comparative Examination of Student Satisfaction by Ethnicity at Historically Black and Predominately White Land-Grant Institutions
… attending historically Black institutions (HBIs) seem to be more satisfied with the college environment than their African American counterparts at PWIs, and graduate at rates equal to White students at PWIs (Allen, 1987; Bohr, Pascarella, Nora, & Terenzini, 1995; Love, 1993; Nettles, et …

Biomonitoring an Impacted Stream Using Benthic Macroinvertebrates and Bioassays
… study were equally valuable; the EPT index and HBI showed the highest sensitivity to site differences, and the HBI was the most precise. Results of bioassays were not always concordant with results of benthic macroinvertebrate biomonitoring.

The effects of gender, socioeconomic status, and situation specificity on thinking, feeling, and acting
… instrument, the Hutchins Behavior Inventory (HBI), to assess a client’s thinking-feeling-acting orientation. Factors influencing the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains of human functioning have been identified, but past research often led to conflicting or unsatisfying results. Some …

Evaluation of the Relationship Between Land Use and Water Quality in Kittitas County, WA
… An analysis of EPT percentage and HBI scores for aquatic benthic macroinvertebrates were used to infer biological condition. I found that land use had a significant effect on depth, discharge, temperature, specific conductivity, nitrate, phosphate, EPT, and HBI. Agricultural and …

Reference conditions for streams in the Grand Prairie Natural Division of Illinois
… (EPT), a modified Hilsenhoff Biotic Index (HBI), and a 12 parameter Habitat Quality Index (HQI). Reference quality streams were compared to 21 randomly selected meandering and 30 randomly selected channelized streams which were assessed by the Critical Trends Assessment Program between 1997 …

Assessing thinking, feeling and acting components of behavior
… to measure components of the TFA System. The HBI was given to 328 college psychology students to measure reliability. Internal reliability scores for thinking, feeling and acting ranged from .780 to .980; test-retest reliability scores ranged from .710 to .930.

Development of biomarker-based proxy methods for reconstructing the late Quaternary sea ice history in the Barents Sea
… diatom-produced, C25 highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) termed IP25 to paleo-sea ice reconstruction has confirmed its utility as a qualitative seasonal sea ice proxy. Combination of IP25 and a pelagic biomarker into the Phytoplankton-IP25 index (PIP25) has facilitated more detailed, …
