However, no single set of principles can necessarily outline all anticipated mental health needs to be encountered in a particular disaster.

Mental retardation (MR) and autism are highly heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorders. IL-1-receptor accessory protein-like 1 (IL1RAPL1) is responsible for nonsyndromic MR and is associated with autism. Thus, the elucidation of the functional role of IL1RAPL1 will contribute to our understanding of the pathogenesis of these mental disorders. Here, we showed that knockdown of endogenous IL1RA...

Even using an authenticated synchronous broadcast model, the task of unforgeably time-stamping digital documents still presents some problems. It is simply not practical to assume that all participants will record and store everyone else's documents so that creation times can be veri ed. This paper presents a time and space e cient method for accumulation of time-stamped documents. Whenever a q...

Papers published in this report series are preliminary versions of journal articles and not for quotations. Abstract This paper extends the real options literature by discussing an investment problem, where a firm has to determine optimal investment timing and optimal capacity choice at the same time under conditions of irreversible investment expenditures and uncertainty in future demand. Afte...

Response times have been very informative for the understanding of mental processes, 1 for many years. The most useful analyses of response times have been those based on 2 cognitive theories of decision-making, known as evidence accumulation models. We review 3 the history of decision-making models, and the empirical phenomena which have guided 4 their development. We focus particularly on the...
