This paper develops dynamic structural models --an option value model and a dynamic programming model-of the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) application decision. We estimate the time to application from the point at which a health condition first begins to affect the kind or amount of work that a currently employed person can do. We use the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) augment...

Cell proliferation and apoptosis in uterine leiomyoma were investigated during therapy with GnRH agonist (GnRHa). Patients with uterine leiomyomas were injected with 3.75 mg GnRHa (depot leuprolide acetate) at intervals of 4 weeks and underwent hysterectomy or myomectomy at the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th, or 16th week of GnRHa therapy. Tissue sections of leiomyomas from these patients and from control...

The metabolic fate of the labeled glucose (U-14C) was studied during the feeding with 3'methyl-4-(dimethylamino)azobenzene(3'-Me-DAB) in rats by the method of radiorespirometry . The peak time (PT) was inclined to hasten from 2nd, reached to the maximum at 4th , and markedly returned to delay at 5th week after the administration of 3'-Me-DAB. The peak height (PH) at 4th to 5th week was lower th...

Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) exists in both high- and low-molecular mass isoforms, each of which has a tubulin-binding domain consisting of 3 imperfect tandem repeats of 31 amino acids containing a more highly conserved 18 amino acid 'core' sequence. We describe here a novel form of low molecular mass MAP2 (MAP2c) that contains an additional 4th repeat of this tubulin-binding motif. ...

Diversity and habitat preference of macroinvertebrates were studied in Macaé River basin, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, along its longitudinal gradient. We selected stream reaches corresponding to 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th orders. A Surber sampler was used to collect four macroinvertebrates samples of each substrate (sand, litter in pool areas, stones, and litter in riffle areas) during the th...

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana on immune response mediated Phenoloxidase enzyme of Spodoptera litura larvae. To measure the PO enzyme activity, haemolymph of 3rd, 4th and 5th instar larvae of S. litura were treated with different doses of 1.0×108, 2.0×107, 4.0×106 and 8.5×105 spores/ml of B. bassiana. The results indica...
