Abstract In a pre-registered 2 × factorial between-subject randomized lab experiment with 61 federal judges, we test if the law influences judicial decisions, it does so more under rule than standard, and how its influence compares to that of legally irrelevant sympathies. Participating judges received realistic materials relatively long period time (50 min) decide an auto accident case. We fin...

The final totals revealed that, in fact, Stein’s total voters exceeded [the] margin of victory. In other words, if every Stein voter had voted for Clinton instead, she could have won Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin the presidency.22 . 2000 Bush/Gore election was, course, even closer: only a...

We describe a method for measuring the catalytic activity of alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) in serum and urine, by use of a defined substrate: 1,4-alpha, D-4-nitrophenyl maltoheptaoside. We use a phosphate buffer of pH 7.10, containing chloride as activator and alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) as the auxiliary enzyme. After a lag phase of 4 min at 25 degrees C or 30 degrees C, or 3 min at 37 degrees...

Endotoxic shock is associated with increased metabolism of arachidonic acid to thromboxanes (TX) and prostaglandins (PG). This study assessed the effects of varied doses of aspirin, an inhibitor of arachidonic acid metabolism, on Salmonella enteriditis endotoxin (20 mg/kg)-induced mortality, plasma levels of arachidonate metabolites and other pathophysiological sequelae in Long-Evans rats. Aspi...

Work under this investigation included farm survey, extension, and research components using both the CLSU research station and demonstration farms. An experiment was conducted for the determination of optimal stocking sizes, considering the growth and survival performance of various sizes of fingerlings along with economic factors. Size #22 sex-reversed nursery phase fingerlings of Nile tilapi...
