Grossbard, The Marriage Motive: A Price Theory of Marriage, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4614-1623-4_2 This chapter and the following are adapted from “A Theory of Allocation of Time in Markets for Labor and Marriage,” Economic Journal, Vol. 94, pp. 863–882, December 1984. While writing it I benefited from helpful comments from Gary Becker, Jerry Green (f...

We investigate the connection between two classical models for the study of phase transition phenomena, the Becker–Döring equations, and the Lifshitz–Slyozov system. More precisely, we introduce a scaling parameter and show that the solution to the Becker–Döring equations converges to that of the Lifshitz–Slyozov system as the scaling parameter goes to 0.

Avulsions or distal transections of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon are typically repaired by direct suture of the tendon stump to the distal phalanx. The optimal repair technique to withstand in vivo rehabilitation forces is unknown. Our objective was to determine the time-zero tensile mechanical properties of 4-strand tendon-bone repair site constructs performed with 3-0 and 4-0 sutures...

Histopathologic determination of tumor regression provides important prognostic information for locally advanced gastroesophageal carcinomas after neoadjuvant treatment. Regression grading systems mostly refer to the amount of therapy-induced fibrosis in relation to residual tumor or the estimated percentage of residual tumor in relation to the former tumor site. Although these methods are gene...

The use of serum creatine kinase (SCK) estimations in the detection of female carriers of the severe (Duchenne-type) X-linked muscular dystrophy was first introduced by Okinaka and his colleagues in 1959, and since then the value of this test has been confirmed by many others (Dreyfus and Schapira, 1961; Hughes, 1963; Richterich, et al, 1963; Emery, 1965; Rotthauwe and Kowalewski, 1965; Wilson,...

Judith Becker’s contribution highlights the timely issue of interdisciplinary interaction between ethnomusicology and music psychology, with its attendant opportunities and difficulties. My response aims to first of all place this issue in the historical context of disciplinary development and differentiation. As for the present-day situation, I argue that for interdisciplinary engagement to be...

We propose a new class of models providing a powerful unification and extension of existing statistical methodology for analysis of data obtained in mixture experiments. These models, which integrate models proposed by Scheffé and Becker, extend considerably the range of mixture component effects that may be described. They become complex when the studied phenomenon requires it, but remain simp...

The Bartha strain of pseudorabies virus has several recognized mutations, including a deletion in the unique short region encompassing the glycoprotein I (gI), gE, Us9, and Us2 genes and point mutations in the gC, gM, and UL21 genes. We have determined that Bartha has mutations in the serine/threonine kinase encoded by the Us3 gene relative to the wild-type Becker strain. Our analysis revealed ...
