Psychological and somatic factors contribute and interact across the spectrum of health and illness. Their relative influence varies from disorder to disorder and from case to case, and specific instances of disorder might in theory be plotted along a continuum to represent different weightings of psychological and somatic causation (Lipowski, 1986; Oken, 1987). We can criticize such a model fo...

opposite responses to elevated O3, and include increased photosynthesis and decreased stomatal conductance Tropospheric O3 can cause foliar injury, decreased growth, and (Jones et al., 1984; Jones et al., 1985; Rogers et al., 1983a; decreased yield, whereas CO2 enrichment generally causes opposite effects. Little is known about plant response to mixtures of O3 and CO2. Sionit et al., 1984), dev...

The restriction of cell intermingling across boundaries is essential for the establishment of discrete tissues. Eph receptor signaling prevents intermingling at many boundaries. In this issue, Luu et al. (2015. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201409026) report a parallel pathway, mediated by Wnt signaling, Snail1, and paraxial protocadherin (PAPC). This pathway establishes a distinc...

The propagation of information, cascading behavior, spread of ideas, viruses and diseases through a network have been studied in different contexts, such as viral marketing (Kempe et al., 2003), the spread of news and opinions (Adar et al., 2004), the spread of technological inovations (Rogers, 1999), and the spread of infectious diseases (Anderson et al., 1992). In such cases, we have a set of...

There have been numerous recent reports documenting phosphorylation of DNA-binding proteins [Montminy and Bilezikjian (1987); Sorger, Lewis, and Pelham (1987); Hoeffler, Kovelman, and Roeder (1988); Jones et al. (1988); Prywes et al. (1988); Sorger and Pelham (1988); Yamamoto et al. (1988)], and the transcriptional regulatory activity of at least one of these proteins appears to be modulated by...

Pulsed field gel (PFG) electrophoresis can resolve DNA molecules as large as several million base pairs (mbp) in size (Schwartz and Cantor, 1984; Carle and Olson, 1984; Gardiner et al. 1986; Carle et al. 1986; Chu et al. 1986; Clark et al. 1988; Anand, 1986; Gardiner and Patterson, 1988; Orbach et al. 1988). This is in contrast to conventional electrophoresis where the practical upper limit is ...

Recommended SSPL90 values were determined at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz for 16 subjects with mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing losses using six different selection procedures, including an Upper Limit of Comfortable Listening (ULCL) and threshold-based procedure by Cox (1988), a threshold-based procedure by Seewald and Ross (1988), and loudness discomfort procedures by Berger (1988), McCandles...

The reproductive biology of copepods plays a key role in seasonal population oscillations and therefore determines, among other things, annual production (Kiørboe et al., 1988; Fransz et al., 1989; Ianora and Buttino, 1990; Ianora et al., 1992; Halsband and Hirche, 2001). Reproduction is affected by various environmental factors, basically by temperature and food availability (Dagg, 1978; Landr...

The term “RNA editing” was initially introduced to describe a process resulting in the addition of nongenomitally encoded uridine residues (U’s) to mitochondrial mRNAs in the kinetoplastid protozoa (Benne et al., 1986), but has recently been used to describe other processes involving modification of RNA in other organisms (Powell et al., 1987; Chen et al., 1987; Thomas et al., 1988). We would l...
