©2002 International Association of Forensic Mental Health Services Violence tends to be concentrated in a small subgroup of the population (Blumstein, Cohen, Roth, & Visher, 1986). This pattern applies to violence involving individuals with mental disorders as well. For example, Gardner, Mulvey, Lidz, and Shaw (1996) found that 5% of psychiatric patients followed in their community samples were...

In vitro studies on skin cultures established from 49 members from Kindred 109, in whom the Gardner syndrome was first delineated, showed that increased in vitro tetraploidy occurred only in those cultures derived from branches with the full expression of the Gardner gene (colorectal polyps with multiple extracolorectal benign tumours) and not in those derived from branches showing only extraco...

The development of foundational technologies such as de novo DNA synthesis, milestone experiments such as the computational re-design of enzymes, the opportunity to widely recombine zinc fingers to re-program DNA-binding site specificity and the availability of well-studied model regulatory system for the design of engineering-inspired molecular devices provide a very powerful knowledge and tec...

Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) perturb minor species involved in the chemical reactions of airglow emissions in the mesopause region of the earth's atmosphere. The so-called 'Cancellation Factor' (CF) is defined as a transfer function relating the amplitude of airglow brightness fluctuation to the amplitude of GW-induced fluctuation in temperature [Swenson and Gardner, 1998]. This transfer fac...

This paper gives a systematic study to the general dual-polar Orlicz–Minkowski problem (e.g., Problem 4.1). involves dual volume $${\widetilde{V}}_G(\cdot )$$ recently proposed in Gardner et al. (Calc Var PDE 58:35, 2019; 59:33, 2020) order problem. As extends and qth volume, is “polar" initiated “dual" newly polar Luo (Indiana Univ Math J 69:385–420, 2020). The existence, uniqueness continuity...

Interest in “Big Data” has undoubtedly increased since the turn of the millennium. ProQuest peer reviewed publication data (2015) shows one publication in 2000 and 676 in 2014. One aspect of the concept is reality mining (RM), often seen as investigating complex social behaviour from machine-sensed environmental data (Eagle and Pentland, 2006). Organizations, developers and consultants have all...

Tomography is the area of reconstructing objects from projections. In discrete tomography an object T we wish to reconstruct may be a set of cells of a multidimensional grid. We perform measurements of T , each one involving a projection that determines the number of cells in T on all lines parallel to the projection’s direction. Given a finite number of such measurements, we wish to reconstruc...

Research points to gender diff erences in individualism and collectivism (e.g., Gilligan, 1982; Kashima et al. 1995; Maccoby, 1990; Singelis, 1994). At the broadest level, women appear to be less individualistic and more collectivistic than do men (Cross & Madson, 1997; Hofstede, 2001; Markus & Kitayama, 1991; Triandis, 1995). For instance, women are more willing and able to care for others (Gi...
