BACKGROUND Stress and anxiety are widely considered to be causally related to alcohol craving and consumption, as well as development and maintenance of alcohol use disorder (AUD). However, numerous preclinical and human studies examining effects of stress or anxiety on alcohol use and alcohol-related problems have been equivocal. This study examined relationships between scores on self-report ...

This paper reviews results of listening tests on auditory spatial impression (ASI) that describe the relation between individual characteristics of spatial impression and the precedence effect. ASI is a general concept defined as the spatial extent of the sound image, and is comprised at least two components. One is auditory source width (ASW), defined as the width of a sound image fused tempor...

As geo-realistic rendering of land surfaces is becoming commonplace in geographical information systems (GIS), games and online Earth visualization platforms, a new type of k Nearest Neighbor (kNN) queries, “surface” k Nearest Neighbor (skNN) queries, has emerged and been investigated recently, which extends the traditional kNN queries to a constrained third dimension (i.e., land surface). All ...

The purpose of this research was to determine whether or not feeding induced hypovolemia (decreases in plasma volume) and decreases in plasma bicarbonate concentration caused by loss of NaHCO3 from the blood, act to suppress feed intake and saliva secretion volumes during the initial stages of feeding in goats fed on dry forage. The animals were fed twice a day at 10:30 and at 16:00 for 2 h eac...

Using a guinea pig line 10 hepatocellular carcinoma model for advanced metastatic disease, we studied the therapeutic effect of local cytotoxic drug treatment at the tumor site as compared to, and in combination with, active specific immunization. In addition, locoregional treatment with interleukin 2 (IL-2) was studied. Intratumoral administration of the cytotoxic drug etoposide (VP-16), but n...

BACKGROUND Whole-body magnetic resonance angiography (WB-MRA) has shown its potential for the non-invasive assessment of nearly the entire arterial vasculature within one examination. Since the presence of extra-cardiac atherosclerosis is associated with an increased risk of coronary events, our goal was to establish the relationship between WB-MRA findings, including a systemic atherosclerosis...

The Mars Pathfinder atmospheric structure investigation/meteorology (ASI/MET) experiment measured the vertical density, pressure, and temperature structure of the martian atmosphere from the surface to 160 km, and monitored surface meteorology and climate for 83 sols (1 sol = 1 martian day = 24.7 hours). The atmospheric structure and the weather record are similar to those observed by the Vikin...

uality is an elusive goal throughout the software development industry. The common assumption is that there simply is no efficient way to improve quality without significantly lengthening the development cycle, increasing development costs, or both. Releasing quality software on schedule and on budget is almost impossible. Ever-shorter development cycles, limited engineering and QA resources, a...
