Police in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) now routinely use risk assessment tools to identify common risk factors for re-abuse and lethality when responding to domestic abuse. Nevertheless, little is known about the extent to which officers understand and perceive the importance of factors commonly included on risk assessment tools for predicting future abuse. This study atte...

treatment with carbenoxolone sodium resulted in thc increase of free and bound sialic acids to those values found in normal subjects, but no increase above control values was observed. The work now reported shows that treatment of normal adult rats with carbenoxolone results in significant increases in a number of components of the gastric mucus and mucosa. This may be related to the mechanism ...

A series of Pictet-Spengler condensation derivatives (tetrahydro-β-carbolines) was designed, synthesized and evaluated for lethality against a panel of seven cancer cell lines. Seven compounds (2a, 13, 20, 21, 27, 29 and 34) showed lethality in at least five cell lines. Among these, compound 27 showed a unique selectivity towards oncogenic-RAS expressing BJ-TERT/LT/ST/RAS(V12) tumor cells, comp...

I N yeast, more dominant lethality is induced in diploid than in haploid vegetative cells (OWEN and MORTIMER 1956), and this is consistent with the observed increase in X-ray sensitivity of cells of higher ploidy in this organism ( MORTIMER 1958). To study dominant lethality with respect to ploidy in a higher organism, the parasitic wasp Mormoniella was selected. Stocks are available which prod...
