BACKGROUND Little is known about the prevalence or correlates of DSM-IV pathological gambling (PG). METHOD Data from the US National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R), a nationally representative US household survey, were used to assess lifetime gambling symptoms and PG along with other DSM-IV disorders. Age of onset (AOO) of each lifetime disorder was assessed retrospectively. AOO repor...

Hermann’s tortoise ( Testudo hermanni ) is listed as “Near threatened” in the IUCN Red list of endangered species. The importance protecting populations and its habitats have led to inclusion species within CITES Convention (Annex II), Annex A EU Wildlife Trade Regulation, II Bern Annexes IV Habitats Directive. To assess distribution status eastern boettgeri Croatia, historical recent records w...

Effective conservation planning is often predicated on detailed and current information about a species' geographical distribution. However, traditional sources of occurrence data (e.g., online biodiversity databases) may be insufficient for estimating the range rare, poorly understood species that are readily misidentified. Here, we demonstrate more holistic approach to this problem, using kno...

An analog of the radiation condition is found for an abstract hyperbolic equation. When this condition holds, the uniqueness theorem for a&z&u) &(p8,u) + Au = f is valid. Here n, p, and A are some linear operators depending on t and Y. For example, Eq. 0 u = &(uoo(t, X) 8,~) &(u$~u) + q(t, x) u = f is of such a type. In what follows a, = a/a, , ai = a/axi , a, = a/a,. , x = (XI )...) xN), 1 < i...

OBJECTIVE Two type 1 diabetes susceptibility genes have been identified in the spontaneously diabetic biobreeding diabetes-prone (BBDP) rat, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) (RT1) class II u haplotype (Iddm1) and Gimap5 (Iddm2). The strong effects of these have impeded previous efforts to map additional loci. We tested the hypothesis that type 1 diabetes is a polygenic disease in the ...

The Red List Categories and the accompanying five criteria developed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) provide an authoritative and comprehensive methodology to assess the conservation status of organisms. Red List criterion B, which principally uses distribution data, is the most widely used to assess conservation status, particularly of plant species. No software pa...

T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes are key players in allergic asthma, with B-lymphocytes producing antigen-specific immunoglobulins E (IgE). We used a mouse model of chemical-induced asthma and transferred B-lymphocytes from sensitized animals into naïve wild type mice, B-lymphocyte knock-out (B-KO) mice or severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice. On days 1 and 8, BALB/c mice were dermally s...
