Late nineteenth century intergenerational occupational mobility was higher in the US than in Britain. Differences between them in this type of mobility are absent today. Using data on 10,000 US and British father and son pairs followed over two intervals (the 1860s and 1870s, and the 1880s and 1890s), we examine how this convergence occurred. The US remained more mobile then Britain through 190...

Exposing male mice to nicotine or cocaine enables their male offspring to cope with high doses of either, which suggests that such paternal effects are generic, rather than being a response to a specific type of stress.

Exterior night, cityscape. Thousands of distant points of light lie still in the summer air. Below them a neon diner sign flickers silently across a nearby empty street. Suddenly the close up face of the main character moves into the frame, the focus pulls, bringing their silent profile into crisp silhouette, while blurring the urban backdrop into a splash of color. Each point of light blooms i...

Pelger-Huet anomaly is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by pince-nez appearance of the nuclei of the neutrophils. This is caused by failure of nuclear segmentation due to genetic defect in the LBR (laminin B-receptor) on the chromosome 1q41-43. Heterozygotes have dumbbell-shaped or hyposegmented neutrophils with coarse chromatin and normal granules. Homozygotes have neutrophils ...

In this paper we propose a simple fast-search VQ of the LSF’s to be used on top of the split VQ, that is, in each of the sub-vector domains. The main trait of the proposed method is that no suboptimal codebooks are used and there is no further reduction in performance. In each sub-vector domain, a full-size optimally trained codebook, typically of size 1024, is searched using a fastsearch algor...

Woolson. (Frederick Midler, 18s.). This is the account of his adult son's psychotic illness by an American journals and of the way in which members of his family tried to readjust themselves to its effects upon their lives and personalities.

Overlapping recombinant clones that encompass the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I and II genes have been isolated from a human genomic DNA library. Each gene is present once per haploid genome; the IGF-I gene spans greater than 35 kilobase pairs (kbp) and the IGF-II gene is at least 15 kbp. The exon-intron organization of these genes is similar, each having four exons, which is one more than...
