My first objective in this paper is to synthesize, synoptically, the literature on oppression and liberation with the contributions to this special issue. To fulfil this aim I introduce a framework for understanding, resisting, and overcoming oppression. The framework consists of psychopolitical well-being; experiences, consequences, and sources of oppression; and actions toward liberation. Eac...

The recently stated hypothesis that histamine liberation by cotton dust extracts is caused by endotoxins from gram-negative bacteria contained in cotton was studied experimentally in various animals. It was shown clearly that such amounts of endotoxin as were found in cotton dust did not give rise to histamine liberation which was provoked by extracts from cotton card-room dusts. Further argume...

Comparison of cells incubated under argon and nitrogen indicated that about one-half of the liberated ammonia came from endogenous sources, as well as from dinitrogen fixation. Chromatography of cell extracts rev...
