Antidepressant medications, including ~cyclic antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, lithium, and fluoxetine, generally have been found to suppress rapid eye movement (RFaM) sleep (yon Bardeleben et al. 1989, reviewed by Salem 1986), although several unusual antidepress~ts have been found to increase REM sleep (Wiegand et al. 1986; Di Peril et al. 1987; Soldatos et al. 1988; Monti 1989)...

The hydrodynamic description of trickle flow is a complex field of study. One of the main contributors to the complexity is the existence of multiple hydrodynamic states (MHS). As early as 1978, Kan & Greenfield reported different pressure drop and holdup readings for the same liquid and gas feed rates. The study revealed that the flow history experienced by the bed determined the specific hydr...

The recent successes in diffraction limited optical imaging from · the ground by Weigelt et al. <1986> and Baldwin et al. <1986> rely on the use of the closure phase i.e. the sum of the visibility phases around a closed loop of baselines . The closure phase has been used for the last dozen years in VLBI for making diffraction limited images in situations whe...

Regarding our article on the association of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with increased Alzheimer’s disease risk, Bowen et al, Froehner and Wirth, Leow et al, and Brady et al highlight a number of significant considerations that will prove important in the design of future studies that investigate the association of ADT and Alzheimer’s disease. We agree with Bowen et al and Leow et al tha...

Supracondylar fractures of the femur after total knee arthroplasty are an uncommon but highly challenging injury (Streubel et al., 2010). The management of distal femoral fractures following a total knee replacement can be complex and requires the equipment, perioperative support and surgical skills of both trauma and revision arthroplasty services (Johnston et al., 2011, Nauth et al., 2011). T...

Thismia Griffith (1844: 221) usually grows among leaf litter in shady wet forests and comprises 47 small mycoheterotrophic species (Chiang & Hsieh 2011, Mancinelli et al. 2012). Individual plants live underground through most of the year, only emerging briefly to flower and fruit after periods of heavy rain (Ho et al. 2009). Although several species have been described in temperate regions, Thi...

Annual surveys of the entire range of the endangered Palila (Loxioides bailleui Oustalet) on Mauna Kea, Hawai'i, were conducted during 1980-1995. The majority of the Palila population was found on the southwestern slope of Mauna Kea near Pu'u La'au, and the range of Palila has not changed since 1975. The Palila population was highly variable. Mean population size during 1980-1995 was 3390 ± 333...
