Family-based therapy is one of the most thoroughly studied treatments for adolescent drug abuse. Considerable empirical support exists for the efficacy of family-based therapy in curtailing adolescent drug use and cooccurring behavior problems. This article extends knowledge of the effects of family-based therapy for adolescent drug abuse by reviewing 16 controlled trials and 4 therapy process ...

The floor plate of the neural tube serves an important function as a source of signals that pattern cell fates in the nervous system as well as directing proper axon pathfinding. We have cloned a novel zebrafish wnt family member, wnt4b, which is expressed exclusively in the floor plate. To place wnt4b in the context of known regulators of midline development, its expression was analyzed in the...

This article demonstrates effective techniques for component/part family formation problem in the vicinity of Cellular Manufacturing Systems (CMS). Past investigations reported that part family formation techniques are typically grounded on production flow analysis (PFA) which largely considers operational requirements, sequences and time. Part coding analysis (PCA) is merely counted in cellula...
