During the last decade the idea of a negative income tax (NIT) as the centerpiece program in antipoverty policy has faded politically to near extinction. Even if political support were favorable, I doubt that the NIT is currently a practical antipoverty proposal. Having made this admission, however, I hasten to say that I did not come to bury the negative income tax, but rather to suggest that ...

Objective: To determine if, in patients with head lice, spinosad cream rinse is more effective than permethrin. Design: Two identical, multicenter, randomized, evaluator/investigator-blinded, active-controlled trials. Setting: Twelve clinical research centers from the United States. Patients: People older than 6 months with live lice infestation as assessed by an evaluator. Intervention: Cluste...

Neoadjuvant immunotherapy (NIT), although currently not a standard of care, is evolving as promising treatment strategy for patients with localized deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) colorectal cancer (CRC). NIT checkpoint inhibitors often utilized outside clinical trial in surgically unfit dMMR CRC. We performed National Cancer Database (NCDB) analysis to evaluate the adoption trend CRC and thei...

Isolates of Pyricularia grisea from wheat (Triticum aestivum Lam.) and triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) spikes with blast symptoms were analyzed by classical (VCG) and molecular (RAPD) techniques. P. grisea mutants, unable to use sodium nitrate (nit) as nitrogen source, were obtained with potassium chlorate. For vegetative compatibility (VCG) tests, genetically complementary nit mutant pair...

The nitrosation of acetylacetone (AcAc) has been revised in an aqueous acid medium of perchloric acid and buffers of mono-, di-, or tri-chloroacetic acid. The results show that in the presence of buffers, under conditions of [nit] ≪ [AcAc] (nit = sodium nitrite) the reaction cannot be studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy, contrary to the recently published paper by García-Rio et al. (J. Org. Chem., 2...

Data in the literature indicate that the measurement of moisture in cheese by near infrared transmittance (NIT) is more accurate than by reflectance (NIR). The accuracy of the NIT measurement (SEP) was calculated for Edam, Gouda, Brie, Colby, and Cheddar. A range of SEP values (0.12-0.35) was obtained using different methods of calibration for different types of samples. There was close agreeme...

We report the synthesis, magnetic EPR and conducting properties of a new manganese complex [MnII(hfac)2(IMHPhOPh)]2[MnII(hfac)3](IMH2PhOPh) (1), containing reduced forms (IMHPhOPh IMH2PhOPh) NIT-PhOPh radical (NIT-PhOPh = 2,4‘-benzoxo-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide). Magnetic susceptibility studies reveal presence weak antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between metal ions, w...
