Relevance of animal experiments to humans.
The best evidence of an adverse human health effect is a properly conducted epidemiological study. But human beings should not be the sole test animal. Properly conducted animal studies have been shown to be preductive for carcinogenicity and toxicologic responses in human populations. We need to develop more efficient predictive animal tests for all the common serious toxic effects caused by c...
متن کاملEfficiency in Asymptotic Shift Experiments∗
This paper generalizes classical results on efficient point estimation in parametric models. The asymptotic optimality of maximum likelihood estimators is, generally, tied to both the regularity of the statistical model and symmetry of the loss function in the efficiency criterion. We examine the possibility of locally shifting or “bias-correcting” the MLE to achieve efficiency. In parametric m...
متن کاملTrainees' attitudes to shift work depend on grade and specialty.
Editor—How doctors in training view the changes in their working pattern that will be required by the European working time directive is not known. By 2004 it will limit their continuous working to no more than 13 hours in 24. As work has been defined as being at the workplace on duty, even if sleeping, this will mean shift work for those who must be resident when on call. Some British doctors ...
متن کاملChange from an 8-hour shift to a 12-hour shift, attitudes, sleep, sleepiness and performance.
OBJECTIVES The present study sought to evaluate the effect of a change from a rotating 3-shift (8-hour) to a 2-shift shift (12 hour) schedule on sleep, sleepiness, performance, perceived health, and well-being. METHODS Thirty-two shift workers at a chemical plant (control room operators) responded to a questionnaire a few months before a change was made in their shift schedule and 10 months a...
متن کاملComment on Experiments Related to the Aharonov–Bohm Phase Shift
Recent experiments undertaken by Caprez, Barwick, and Batelaan should clarify the connections between classical and quantum theories in connection with the Aharonov–Bohm phase shift. It is pointed out that resistive aspects for the solenoid current carriers play a role in the classical but not the quantum analysis for the phase shift. The observed absence of a classical lag effect for a macrosc...
