possibilities. During a study of village malaria in Mysore State (Sweet, 1937), several anophelines were studied, including A. stephensi, from various parts of the State, but no evidence of races of Indian anophelines based on egg patterns could be found and it was concluded that other methods to distinguish possible differences would have to be used. Such a new approach to the subject was sugg...

It is well established that the average blood sugar level of normal and healthy full-term and premature infants is lower than in older children, although the individual variations in, and range of the level during, the neonatal period are considerable (Baens, Lundeen and Cornblath, 1963; Farquhar, 1954; Pedersen, 1952; Smith, 1959; Wolf, 1960; Zetterstrom, 1961, among others). In addition the g...

This paper provides inference methods for best linear approximations to functions which are known to lie within a band. It extends the partial identification literature by allowing the upper and lower functions defining the band to be any functions, including ones carrying an index, which can be estimated parametrically or non-parametrically. The identification region of the parameters of the b...

Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) appears to play a major role in skeletal development. Targeted disruption of the PTHrP gene in mice causes skeletal dysplasia with accelerated chondrocyte maturation (Amizuka, N., H. Warshawsky, J.E. Henderson, D. Goltzman, and A.C. Karaplis. 1994. J. Cell Biol. 126:1611-1623; Karaplis, A.C., A. Luz, J. Glowacki, R.T. Bronson, V.L.J. Tybulewicz, H.M. ...

This investigation brings together a response-time system identification methodology (e.g., Townsend & Wenger Psychonomic Bulletin & Review 11, 391-418, 2004a) and an accuracy methodology, intended to assess models of integration across stimulus dimensions (features, modalities, etc.) that were proposed by Shaw and colleagues (e.g., Mulligan & Shaw Perception & Psychophysics 28, 471-478, 1980)....

It was bound to happen. Yesterday I ‘met’ with a group of very smart friends from many different professions (lawyers, librarian, restaurant owner, billionaire businesswoman, diplomat, an engineer, doctor, renowned theater critic and, somehow, me) and we talked about the Terrible Pandemic. Every one them is vaccinated, every stated that they will continue wear masks are considering double-maski...

OBJECTIVES: To review and summarize the status of diagnosis, epidemiology, infection control, and treatment of Clostridium difficile -associated disease (CDAD). DIAGNOSIS: A case definition of CDAD should include the presence of symptoms (usually diarrhea) and at least one of the following positive tests: endoscopy revealing pseudomembranes, stool cytotoxicity test for toxin B, stool enzyme imm...

The nudeotide sequence of the gpt gene coding for the enzyme xanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase has been determined. The gene codes for a protein of molecular weight 16,950. The construction of deletions in the gpt gene which can be used for the genetic analysis of mutations in the gpt gene, is described. INTRODUCTION The ability to clone and sequence unique DNA fragments permits the d...

The Affordable Care Act’s taxes, subsidies, and regulations significantly alter terms of trade in both goods and factor markets. We use a multi-sector (intra-national) trade model to predict and quantify consequences of the Affordable Care Act for the incidence of health insurance coverage and patterns of labor usage. If and when the new exchange plans are competitive with employer-sponsored in...
