We tested whether the judgment of forensic psychiatric experts differed from that of laypersons. We constructed 18 case vignettes that were rated by 21 psychologists, 14 psychiatrists and 126 laypeople on the following variables: Insanity by Legal Terms, Risk of Repeated Offense, and Need of Treatment. We found significant differences among laypeople and professionals on all three variables (p ...

We present low resolution optical spectroscopy for six cataclysmic variable candidates and the old nova V888Cen. We confirm the classification as cataclysmic variable for LB 9963 and FQMon, while the other four candidates turn out to be different type of stars. We discuss the individual spectra and pay special attention to the mass transfer rate and disc temperature and density of the three cat...

Participants Patients were eligible if they had received benefits from Ohio Medicaid or Michigan Medicaid and had received naproxen sodium or ibuprofen, but not both drugs. From a cohort of 378 919 patients in the Computerized On-Line Medical Pharmaceutical Analysis and Surveillance System (COMPASS), 59 patients (54% men) who were admitted to hospital for upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding w...

We consider the class of Bayesian environments with independent types, and utility functions which are both quasi-linear in a private good and linear in a one-dimensional private-value type parameter. We call these independent linear environments. For these environments, we fully characterize interim efficient allocation rules which satisfy interim incentive compatibility and interim individual...

We present direct measurements of the parity-violation parameters Ab, Ac, and As at the Z resonance with the SLD detector. The measurements are based on approximately 530k hadronic Z events collected in 1993-98. Obtained results are Ab = 0:914 0:024 (SLD combined: preliminary),Ac = 0:635 0:027 (SLD combined: preliminary), and As = 0:895 0:066(stat:) 0:062(sys:). Presented at the XXXth Internati...
