Attachment theory is a powerful framework for understanding affect regulation. In this article, we examine the role played by attachment orientation in shaping emotional reactions to interpersonal transactions within close relationships. Using our recent integrative model of attachment-system activation and dynamics as a guide (M. Mikulincer & P. R. Shaver, 2003), we review relevant evidence, p...

We have used a sample of 263 Parkes half-Jansky at-spectrum radio sources to measure the spatial correlation function of radio galaxies and radio-loud quasars on scales up to 1000h ?1 Mpc. We do not detect any clustering in the sample. If any undetected clustering is described by a power-law spatial correlation function ((r) = (r=r 0) ?1:8), we can rule out clustering with scales r 0 50 h ?1 Mp...

On the contrary, the Medical Research Council's Industrial Pulmonary Diseases Committee in 1936 investigated 50 workers exposed to aluminium dust and were unable to find any evidence that it caused fibrosis of the lung.
