While effective soldier training is enhanced by practice (Salas, & Cannon-Bowers, 2001), stress-exposure (Johnston, & Cannon-Bowers, 1996), and context, the extent to which simulated practice conditions must replicate the operational environment setting been questioned (Morris, Shirkey, Hancock, & Mouloua 2002). All of the features of advanced training technologies (e.g., graphical quality, hap...

Despite the recovery of economic growth in Latin America during the 1990s, rising unemployment, high informality rates and sluggish wages lie at the root of high inequality and poverty. This paper looks at changes in hourly earnings from the early 1990s to the early 2000s in three relatively stable countries: Brazil, Chile and Mexico. Using econometric techniques, the paper decomposes the chang...

Neuromuscular and vascular hamartoma (NMVH) is a very rare stricturing condition of the small intestine, occurring focally and causing recurrent obstructive symptoms or occult chronic gastrointestinal bleeding. Salas et al. (Neuromesenchymal hamartoma of the small bowel. J Clin Gastroenterol. 1990, 12 (6): 705-9) proposed the term of "Neuromesenchymal hamartoma" for the cases of NMVH with parti...

Upon serial passage of BHK-21 cells persistently infected with foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) C-S8c1, cells with increased resistance to the virus were selected (J. C. de la Torre, E. Martinez-Salas, J. Diez, and E. Domingo, J. Virol. 63:59-63, 1989). Two highly resistant cell clones, 74A11 and 74D12, were transformed to puromycin resistance (Purr) and were fused to BHK-21 cells transforme...
