Objective: To assess convergence among three different measures of indiscriminate behavior and to assess the relationship of indiscriminate behavior to having an attachment figure and to aggressive behavior among young children living in a Romanian institution. Method: Caregivers in the institution were interviewed with semistructured interviews regarding the behavior of 61 children with specia...

a calcium ionophore, a phorbol ester, was studied. Upon stimulation with arachidonic acid or 7-hexachlorocyclohexane, Me$O-differentiated HL-60 cells generated superoxide (0~~) at higher rates than dbcAMP-differentiated cells. Undifferentiated cells generated 02only at low rates upon stimulation with the above agents. In cell-freesystems, NADPH oxidase activity was reconstituted by combining me...

Environmental concerns dominate the world scene in the XXI century. The petroleum and its derivatives are a major contributor to the non-renewable sources of energy. However, there are forecasts that in a time near the main sources of petroleum may exhaust. Thus, the search for alternative sources of energy, beside environmental necessity is essential to ensure the well being of all. The minera...

A new titration calorimeter is described and results are presented for the binding of cytidine 2’-monophosphate (2’CMP) to the active site of ribonuclease A. The instrument characteristics include very high sensitivity, rapid calorimetric response, and fast thermal equilibration. Convenient software is available for instrument operation, data collection, data reduction, and deconvolution to obt...

Based on the adaptive Dynamic Relaxation (aDR) method, a modified adaptive Dynamic Relaxation (maDR) method is proposed which is more efficient than the former in solving non-linear problems. It is then applied to analysing the elastic-plastic bending of circular plates in large deflection and their following wrinkling, and leads to satisfactory results compared with corresponding experimental ...
