Milton’s England experiences military conflict, sociopolitical change, religious reform, and scientific progress. Seeking stability in a world of uncertainty, substantial part seventeenth-century English literature expresses millennial expectations, faith the birth new better humanity. Paradise Lost is millenarian work that advocates humanity’s perfection through proper use reason. The latter h...

Previous work has shown that the asymmetric triazine analogue of uridine, 6-azauracil riboside (azauridine), is a much more potent inhibitor of the growth of transplantable mouse tumors than is 6-azauracil (1,2). Presumably this difference in activity reflects the limited extent of the conversion of azauracil to azauridine in mammalian systems (3). On the other hand, formation of the 5’-phospha...

Sexual arousal is a motivational state that moves humans toward situations that inherently pose a risk of disease transmission. Disgust is an emotion that adaptively moves humans away from such situations. Incongruent is the fact that sexual activity is elementary to human fitness yet involves strong disgust elicitors. Using an experimental paradigm, we investigated how these two states interac...

This study examined the effects of the nitric oxide-precursor L-arginine combined with the alpha 2-blocker yohimbine on subjective and physiological sexual arousal in postmenopausal women with Female Sexual Arousal Disorder. Twenty-four women participated in three treatment sessions in which self-report and physiological (vaginal photoplethysmograph) sexual responses to erotic stimuli were meas...

BACKGROUND Experimental research has shown that emotional stimuli can either enhance or impair attentional performance. However, the relative effects of specific emotional stimuli and the specific time course of these differential effects are unclear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In the present study, participants (n = 50) searched for a single target within a rapid serial visual presentati...

Previous research has identified a set of core factors that influence moral judgments. The present study addresses the interplay between moral judgments and four factors: (a) incidental affects, (b) sociocultural context, (c) type of dilemma, and (d) participant's sex. We asked participants in two different countries (Colombia and Spain) to judge the acceptability of actions in response to pers...

Reward comparison in the brain is thought to be achieved through the use of a 'common currency', implying that reward value representations are computed on a unique scale in the same brain regions regardless of the reward type. Although such a mechanism has been identified in the ventro-medial prefrontal cortex and ventral striatum in the context of decision-making, it is less clear whether it ...

Lipoproteins of rat plasma have been characterized by lipid analysis, preparative ultracentrifugation, electrophoresis on paper, and immunoelectrophoresis with specific antisera to Lu-lipoprotein, P-lipoprotein, and whole rat plasma. Similar techniques were used to characterize the lipoproteins released by livers perfused in situ with a suspension of erythrocytes in a medium initially free of r...
