In this investigation, we produced a new 8-scale measure of perfectionism called the Perfectionism Inventory (PI) that is designed to capture the important constructs provided by 2 existing Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS; Frost, Marten, Lahart, & Rosenblatt, 1990; Hewitt & Flett, 1991b) measures, along with new perfectionism scales. In the results from 3 studies, we describe scale de...

Musculature and glands of the esophagus in various wild birds and mammals were examined histologically. Cervical and thoracic esophagi of all birds used (mallard, spot-billed duck, Ural owl and Hodgson's hawk-eagle) were comprised of smooth muscle fibers only. In contrast, esophagi of the nutria, Japanese raccoon dog, common raccoon and Japanese marten consisted largely of striated muscle fiber...
