BACKGROUND Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a potential alternative treatment option for major depressive episodes (MDE). OBJECTIVES We address the efficacy and safety of tDCS in MDE. METHODS The outcome measures were Hedges' g for continuous depression ratings, and categorical response and remission rates. RESULTS A random effects model indicated that tDCS was superior t...

BACKGROUND We investigated how one pharmacokinetic (PK) model differed in prediction of plasma (C(p)) and effect-site concentration (C(eff)) using a reproducing simulation of target-controlled infusion (TCI) with another PK model of propofol. METHODS Sixty female patients were randomly assigned to TCI using Marsh PK (Group M) and TCI using Schnider PK (Group S) targeting 6.0 µg/ml of C(p) of ...

Learning Object Repositories (LOR) are the result of the activity of hundreds or thousands of contributing individuals. It has been shown in Ochoa & Duval, 2009 that LOR have an interesting macro-behavior, mostly governed by long-tailed distributions. The shape of these distributions provides valuable information for the management and operation of LORs. However, the reason why these distributi...

People were given highly constrained low budgets of mate dollars to allocate across various characteristics pertaining to their ideal partners and to their ideal selves for longand short-term mating. First, results replicated findings from Li et al. (2002) and Li & Kenrick (2006). For ideal long-term mates, men prioritized physical attractiveness and women prioritized social status. For ideal s...

The U.S. military, despite spending over $13 billion, appears powerless to stop the Iraqi insurgency’s improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which cause most of the military’s casualties and prevent victory by showing lawlessness and insecurity. However, this view ignores substitution effects we consider here. Using rational choice and expectations models, we find a backward-bending supply curve...

Despite the abundance of research linking frustration with prejudice, no research has examined the moderating role of personality. Two studies tested the prediction that narcissism would moderate the link between frustration and prejudice against immigrants in that individuals high in narcissism would show a stronger association than others. In Study 1 (n = 156), participants completed online s...

We demonstrate that the agrarian unrest in the United States between 1870 and 1900 can be given an economic explanation, despite its association with increases in the real price of agricultural produce. It was not merely the result of nominal illusions as other scholars have suggested. Falling transportation costs allowed for the extension of the frontier and for more farmers to enter the inter...
