and a pioneer in organosulfur and organozinc chemistry. Zaitsev held the Chair of Chemistry at Kazan for 39 years, and in that time was responsible for the training of some of the most eminent organic chemists of the next generation, among them Egor Egorevich Vagner (Georg Wagner, 1849– 1903), Sergei Nikolaevich Reformatskii (1860–1934), and Aleksandr Erminingel dovich Arbuzov (1877–1968). In a...

After a detailed literature review, modern data about two underestimated aspects of epilepsy treatment forced normalization and seizure aggravation by Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs) were summarized. Forced Normalization (FN) is a phenomenon, characterized by a manifestation of some kind of incidental behavioral disorder in patients with epilepsy in association with a relative EEG normalization. The...

We apply the synthetic control method to re-examine the wage and employment effect of the Mariel Boatlift, a large inflow of Cuban refugees to Miami in 1980. This method improves on previous studies by choosing a control group for Miami so as to best match its labor market features in the eight years before the Boatlift. Given the presence of significant measurement error for average city wages...

The tol-oprL region in Pseudomonas aeruginosa appears to be involved in pyocin uptake and required for cell viability. The complete nucleotide sequences of the tolQRA and oprL genes as well as the incomplete sequences of tolB and orf2 have been previously reported. In addition, the sequence of a P. aeruginosa iron-regulated gene (pig6) has been described and found to share homology with an open...
