Spousal bereavement can cause a rise in depressive symptoms. This study empirically evaluates 2 competing explanations concerning how this causal effect is brought about: (a) a traditional latent variable explanation, in which loss triggers depression which then leads to symptoms; and (b) a novel network explanation, in which bereavement directly affects particular depression symptoms which the...

1. The table below reports from a developmental toxicity study involving ordinal categorical outcomes. This study administered diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (an industrial solvent used in the manufacture of protective coatings) to pregnant mice. Each mouse ws exposed to one of five concentration levels for ten days early in the pregnancy (with concentration 0 corresponding to controls). Two ...

Previously we have described the derivation of three distinct classes of leukemic cell clones from a single in vivo-passaged myelomonocytic leukemia, WEHI-274, that arose in a mouse infected with the Abelson leukemia virus/Moloney leukemia virus complex (K. B. Leslie and J. W. Schrader, Mol. Cell. Biol. 9:2414-2423, 1989). The three classes of cell clones were characterized by distinct patterns...

It is believed that η Carinae is actually a massive binary system, with the wind-wind interaction responsible for the strong X-ray emission. Although the overall shape of the X-ray light curve can be explained by the high eccentricity of the binary orbit, other features like the asymmetry near periastron passage and the short quasi-periodic oscillations seen at those epochs, have not yet been a...

It is particularly relevant to differentiate patients with mild dementia from those subjects with mild cognitive impairment. Formal education is a critical factor in neuropsychological performance; however, there are few studies that evaluated the psychomet...
