aureus was isolated from two patients in the same ward of the Seattle Veterans Administration Hospital. This strain, called the Seattle variant, caused a fatal pneumonia in one of the patients and has been the object of a detailed laboratory investigation (R. J. Bulger, Ann. Internal Med., 67:81, 1967). The results indicate that the mechanism of resistance to methicillin was probably a combinat...

This is a commentary on the articles by E. V. Cardemil, K. J. Reivich, and M. E. P. Seligman (2002) and D. L. Yu and M. E. P. Seligman (2002) in this issue of Prevention & Treatment. Both articles evaluate the Penn Resiliency Program when administered to diverse samples of children. The first study focused on African American and Latino (primarily Puerto Rican) children and the second on Chines...

Broadly speaking, there are three accounts of well-being: mental state accounts, objective list accounts and desire fulfilment accounts (Parfit, 1984) The latter two perspectives have arguably had a much greater influence on academic debate, particularly in economics, and certainly on public policy (Diener and Seligman, 2004). For example, governments routinely target poverty, unemployment, lit...

This paper positively solves an open problem if it is possible to provide a Hilbert system to Epistemic Logic of Friendship (EFL) by Seligman, Girard and Liu. To find a Hilbert system, we first introduce a sound, complete and cut-free tree (or nested) sequent calculus for EFL, which is an integrated combination of Seligman’s sequent calculus for basic hybrid logic and a tree sequent calculus fo...

In the past few years there has been renewed interest in the study of serum cholinesterase in various disease states, particularly those affecting the liver. Recently, a colorimetric method for the determination of this enzyme in the serum was reported by Ravin, Tsou, and Seligman (1). Their method, simple to perform, is as accurate as the gastrometric technique and more specific than the elect...
