Previous experiments have shown that the growth of ceils explanted from tuberculin-sensitive animals may be inhibited if tuberculin is added to the culture menstrnum (1). Tissue culture techniques also have been employed in studies of the mechanism of action of cortisone. The direct effect of this compound upon such diverse physiologic phenomena as heart muscle contraction (2) and renal tubular...

The range of techniques variously known as optimal scaling, dual scaling, or multiple correspondence analysis, have been widely applied in a number of contexts including test item scoring and estimation of bone maturity. Nishisato (1980) and Greenacre (t984) present accounts and McDonald (1983) has contributed further results. De Leeuw (1984) describes various extensions known as the Girl syste...

This paper integrates the cumulative stress hypothesis with the mismatch hypothesis, taking into account individual differences in sensitivity to programming. According to the cumulative stress hypothesis, individuals are more likely to suffer from disease as adversity accumulates. According to the mismatch hypothesis, individuals are more likely to suffer from disease if a mismatch occurs betw...

It was observed by Allen (1) that occlusion of the blood vessels of neoplasms in man and in some of the lower animals for 3-12 hours damaged ma lignant tissues more than normal tissues. Later, Lewis and Aptekman (10, 11) found that, by em ploying a similar procedure, they could induce in an inbred strain of rats a resistance to a sarcoma indigenous to the strain. In our laboratory, attempts wer...

Forest resources share attributes with many other resource systems that make difficult their governance and management in a sustainable, efficient, and equitable manner. While some ‘forests’ are small enough that fencing them or protecting their borders from intrusion is relatively easy, excluding beneficiaries from access and use of most forests is costly. The difficulty of exclusion creates t...

In Chinese, zero anaphors occur frequently. This talk discusses several issues in identification of zero anaphors. Syntactic tagging of words in a running text for detection of anaphora requires specification of argument structure for verbal elements. Verbs requiring a subject or an object can be used to locate the position of zero anaphors. Typical argument structures for verbs, however, often...

Group buying websites typically need a pre-determined minimum number of buyers for a deal before that deal is on. With the proliferation of these websites, it becomes very crucial for marketers to understand how they can capture online group sales early. Consumers at group buying websites are usually not aware of the deals prior visiting the websites. Therefore purchases made at group buying we...

In a study of collodion membranes which had been coated with films of gelatin or egg albumin, it was found that the presence of the protein reduced the rate of flow of water through the membranes, as would be expected if the protein film were formed on the wails of the pores. ~ In order to determine the thickness of such films, an at tempt has been made to estimate the size of pores in membrane...

During a recent investigation 1 by Dr. Stanton and myself of the lesions occurring in the aorta of the rabbit as the result of repeated injections of adrenalin, the heart muscle, in the few instances in which it was examined, was seen not infrequently to be the seat of very definite degenerative lesions and occasionally also of proliferative changes. The association of such conditions with an e...
