INTRODUCTION Although dissociation at the time of trauma (peritraumatic dissociation) has been shown to predict the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it is not yet known whether the tendency to dissociate under nonstressful circumstances (i.e., at baseline) can also serve as a predictor of vulnerability to stress in healthy individuals. METHOD Baseline symptoms of dissociat...

Decay heat residuals of spent nuclear fuel (SNF), i.e., the differences between calculations and measurements, were obtained previously for various assemblies (SFA) using Polaris module SCALE code system. In this paper, we compare decay to their uncertainties, focusing on four PWRs BWRs. Uncertainties in data model inputs are propagated stochastically through SCALE/Sampler super-sequence. Total...

Two studies are published in the current issue of the Journal (1, 2) that tackle in different ways the considerable challenge of understanding the relation between dairy product consumption and cardiometabolic health. One study (1) reports on the crosssectional association between dairy food intake and estimates of glycemic status in a large Brazilian cohort (10,010 after excluding those with d...

This study provides evidence that hedge accounting information under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 133, for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, is related to rivals' market entry decisions. Documenting information's relevance competition decisions requires context-specific settings. Using data the airline industry in United States, I predict find entrants are les...

OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate the effects of physical training on circulating proinflammatory cytokines and the soluble apoptosis mediators Fas (sFas) and Fas ligand (sFasL) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). BACKGROUND Recent investigations have shown an overexpression of circulating proinflammatory cytokines and soluble apoptosis mediators in patients with CHF, which may be...

Migrant and experimental animal studies suggest that differences in breast cancer incidence rates may be related, in part, to intake of dietary fat. The experimental evidence indicates that total fat, saturated, and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may stimulate both mammary tumor growth and metastasis, whereas n-3 PUFAs may have a tumor-inhibiting effect. Overall, epidemiological studie...
