Drawing on Edward Said’s “Beginnings theory,” which is the central thesis in his book Beginnings: Intention and Method (1975), several post- 9/11 narratives reflect means for perceiving how these various accounts foreshadow a new era both literature political discourse. These constitute “beginning,” to use Saidian term, heralding vision of Islamic (Arab)/Western representation; shift from “hist...

The purpose of the present study was to compare incest offenders (IOs) whose victims include infants or toddlers to IOs with adolescent victims on several variables commonly examined in the sexual offender literature. Participants were 48 men whose youngest victim was less than 6 years of age (younger-victim incest offenders; YVs); and 71 men whose youngest victim was 12 to 16 years of age (old...

Double aneuploidy in which an extra sex chromosome coexists with autosomal trisomy was first reported in a child with trisomy 21 and XXY sex chromosomes (Ford, Jones, Miller, Mittwoch, Penrose, Ridler, and Shapiro, 1959); since then XXX trisomy 21 (Day, Wright, Koons, and Quigley, 1963; Yunis, Hook, and Alter, 1964), XYY trisomy 21 (Verresen and van den Berghe, 1965), XXX trisomy 18 (Uchida and...

Structural changes (deletions, insertions, and inversions) between human and chimpanzee genomes have likely had a significant impact on lineage-specific evolution because of their potential for dramatic and irreversible mutation. The low-quality nature of the current chimpanzee genome assembly precludes the reliable identification of many of these differences. To circumvent this, we applied a m...

Part A is concerned with more basic aspects of reticuloendothelial function ranging from lymphocyte kinetics to biochemical events in reticuloendothelial cells. A section entitled "The Phagocytic Event" is particularly concise and cogent. My major disappointment in this volume is with the photographs. For example, Meuret's elegant study on the geography of short and long-lived lymphocytes loses...

Aging is a highly polygenic trait (Kirkwood, T.B.L., Franceschi, C., 1992. Is aging as complex as it would appear? Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 663, 412-417) who's underlying mechanisms are still unresolved. Animal models are an important help for understanding this process and a recent report drew attention to a putative gene which causes variability in the life span among genoty...

Definite identification of the chromosome involved in E trisomy (Edward's syndrome; Edwards et al, 1960) and in various structural alterations of the 17/18 autosomes has often been difficult on purely morphological grounds (Hamerton, 1971). Autoradiographic evidence that chromosome No. 18 completes synthesis later than No. 17 (Giannelli and Howlett, 1967) and that the extra chromosome in E tris...

Twenty-one cases of presumptive deletion of the short arm of a No. 18 chromosome were recently reviewed by Reinwein et al. (1968) together with a new case from their own material. Five additional reports describing 6 cases have since been published (Grouchy, Rossier, and Joab, 1967; Gilgenkrantz, Marchal, and Neimann, 1968; Gorlin, Yunis, and Anderson, 1968; McDermott et al., 1968; Jacobsen and...
