This study examined the narratives of 82 adoptive parents (41 couples: 15 lesbian, 15 gay male, 11 heterosexual) of young children (M age = 5.81 years) with a focus on understanding parents’ socialization practices and strategies surrounding race (among parents of children of color), and family structure (among lesbian or gay [LG] parents). Most parents described an engaged approach to socializ...

To study the local Hubble flow, we have run constrained dark matter (DM) simulations of the Local Group (LG) in the concordance ΛCDM and OCDM cosmologies, with identical cosmological parameters apart from the Λ term. The simulations were performed within a computational box of 64 hMpc centred on the LG. The initial conditions were constrained by the observed peculiar velocities of galaxies and ...

Study Design: Thirty beagle dogs underwent 2 hours of hepatic vascular exclusion using venovenous bypass. Misoprostol was administered intravenously for 30 minutes before ischemia and for 3 hours after reperfusion. o P -41483 was administered intraportally for 30 minutes before ischemia (2#Lg/kg/min) and for 3 hours after reperfusion (0.5 #Lg/kg/min). Animals were divided into five groups: untr...

INTRODUCTION The lacrimal gland (LG) of the CD25-/- model of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) has high interleukin (IL)-17, IL-13 and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) cytokines. The specific contribution of these cytokines to the onset and severity of dacryoadenitis in the CD25-/- mice has not been evaluated. METHODS CD25-/-IL-17A-/-, CD25-/-IL-17-/-IFN-γ-/- and CD25-/-IFN-γ-/- were used at 4, 8, 12, 16 weeks...

We read with interest the article by Lota et al. The authors report a case of lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LG) with an atypical CT finding of crescent sign for LG. Typically, LG patients with lung involvement can present with pulmonary infiltration and may later develop a reversed halo sign, a focal round area of ground-glass attenuation and surrounding airspace consolidation of crescent shape....

In this dissertation, we present a number of new techniques and tools for proving lower bounds on the operational time of data structures. These techniques provide new lines of attack for proving lower bounds in both the cell probe model, the group model, the pointer machine model and the I/O-model. In all cases, we push the frontiers further by proving lower bounds higher than what could possi...
