The Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (SADS), Part I, and the Present State Examination (PSE) are both structured interviews to assess the present psychiatric condition. The present article attempts to provide researchers with information that may help them to decide which of the two instruments would be most suitable for their purposes. We describe the similarities and differe...

Today's environment has different impacts on our body than previous generations. Heavy metals are a growing concern in medicine. Doctors and individuals request the removal of their amalgam (silver mercury) restorations due to the high mercury content. A safe protocol to replace the silver mercury filling will ensure that there is minimal if any absorption of materials while being removed. Stro...

Policy debates over medical malpractice in the United States involve a complex amalgam of legal doctrine, public demands to address the problem of medical errors, and the interests of various stakeholder groups. Most parties can agree, however, that the current system for compensating medical injury performs poorly. It falls short of achieving its two main goals: compensation and deterrence. Th...

This is an article for IEEE Computer which explains the rationale for ANSA; the principles that underpin the architecture and uses a simple telecommunications oriented scenario to explore the architectural framework. It is an amalgam of APM.1000 and the author’s 1993 TINA Conference Keynote address.. An Overview of ANSA (for IEEE Network)

Subjects The study sample was composed 152 children from 5 primary schools in the Ilala District (one of the districts of the capital city Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) and the mean age at baseline was 11 years. These children were in need of 2 or more restorations on permanent molars. A total of 430 matched contralateral restorations were randomly placed in 152 children, and at the 6-year follow-up...

The multitracer method is a new tracer technique which makes it possible to trace the physical and chemical behavior of many elements simultaneously in the same environment, by using the radioactive nuclear species of various elements manufactured simultaneously. While the various studies using this technique are advancing at a rapid pace, many developments in the multitracer production method ...

tinue their race through many successive generations. Twining declared that there was no known instance in his time of a pure European descent in the country extending beyond the third remove; and Sir Joseph Fayrer's observation prolongs it to the fourth generation only, and no further. The Portuguese in Ceylon and India have, perhaps, been more fortunate. To what extent, I do not know; for the...

We study the action of metaplectic operators on Wiener amalgam spaces, giving upper bounds for their norms. As an application, we obtain new fixed-time estimates in these spaces for Schrödinger equations with general quadratic Hamiltonians and Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger equation with potentials V (x) = ±|x|.
