Standard economic theory suggests that one-time business grants can have at most temporary effects, and accordingly, policies to increase incomes of the self-employed in developing countries typically rely on sustained engagement. In contrast, we found long-lasting impacts from one-time grants given in a randomized experiment to subsistence firms. Five years after we gave $100 or $200 to 115 of...

Non-Toxic Elicitor, Phosphate Uptake, Amino Acid Uptake, Parsley (Petroselinum hortense) Cells Elicitor preparations derived from cell walls of phytopathogenic Alternaria spp. rapidly inhi­ bited uptake of both inorganic phosphate and amino acids by cultured parsley cells. The inhibition of phosphate uptake was completely reversed if the elicitor was removed within a time period of approximatel...

It would be extremely beneficial if one could harness natural, endogenous, health-promoting defense mechanisms to fight disease and restore health. The psychophysiological stress response is the most underappreciated of nature's survival mechanisms. We show that acute stress experienced before primary immunization induces a long-lasting increase in immunity. Compared with controls, mice restrai...
