The Changing Distribution of Job Satisfaction The distribution of job satisfaction widened across cohorts of young men in the U.S. between 1978 and 1988, and between 1978 and 1996, in ways correlated with changing wage inequality. Satisfaction among workers in upper earnings quantiles rose relative to that of workers in lower quantiles. An identical phenomenon is observed among men in West Germ...

Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. GIST has been shown to over-express c-KIT (CD117), the receptor tyrosine kinase. Imatinib (STI571 or Glivec) is a new type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits various tyrosine kinases and has been successfully used to treat GIST. In this study we have...

T deep palmar arterial arch on the arteriogram was absent (Fig. 4, white arrowhead [dashes indicate the normal position of the deep palmar arch]) with little contrast medium flowing distally beyond the intermediate phalanx of the middle and ring fingers (Fig. 5, arrowheads). On the basis of the patient’s unilateral symptoms, the history of repetitive trauma and the angiographic findings, a diag...

ITE JOURNAL / JULY 2001 A GOOD DEAL OF EVIDENCE suggests that driver inattention is a major cause of motor-vehicle crashes. When drivers do not attend to critical features of the driving environment, they cannot respond in a timely manner to threats. One way to alert drivers to the presence of potential threats is the use of flashing yellow warning beacons. However, this type of signal does not...

special attention to it. As soon as Major Rost laid claim to the cultivation of the bacillus, Surgeon-General Lukis took the opportunity of visiting Burma and seeing the work for himself. He was soon convinced of the importance of the work, and Colonel Bannerman of the Bombay Laboratory was called in to examine and report upon this work. The Rost cultures were examined by him and the work of Wi...

from both philosophers and physicists, is its use in cosmology to explain the apparent fine-tuning of our universe. “Fine-tuning” refers to the supposed fact that there is a set of cosmological parameters or fundamental physical constants that are such that had they been very slightly different, the universe would have been void of intelligent life. For example, in the classical big bang model,...
