This paper motivates and introduces a new method of interpreting complex relation terms in a second-order quantified modal language. The new method of interpreting these terms establishes an interesting connection between λ and calculi, and the resulting semantics provides a precise understanding of the theory of relations. In addition to motivating the new method generally, several research pr...

To the Editor: pliance with therapy. Annual rates of vaso-occlusive crisis were calculated as previously described by dividing the number of crises by the number of years of therapy (for example, 2 crises Increased synthesis of fetal hemoglobin may ameliorate the cliniin 6 months Å 4 crises per year). The number of days spent in cal severity of sickle cell disease; both chemotherapeutic and non...

detection. Luo (1993), Soller and Genizi (1978), and Weller et al. (1990) have confirmed that very large progeny The integration of quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis into breedsizes are needed to detect QTL with good statistical ing strategies rather than being seen as separated processes has been proposed to increase the power and accuracy of QTL detection and power in outbred populations...

—The genetic variation among 17 spawning groups of Atlantic herring Clupea harengus was assessed at several temporal and spatial scales using nine tetranucleotide microsatellites. PanAtlantic samples were drawn from the Scotian Shelf, the Celtic Sea, the Baltic Sea, and coastal Iceland. Significant differentiation was observed between northeastern and northwestern Atlantic herring (FST ; 0.065)...

Infection is a serious problem in patients with both acute and chronic renal failure. In patients with acute renal failure, even when maintained by adequate hemodialysis, infection is a major cause of death. In these individuals failure of wound healing is unquestionably a contributory factor. In patients with chronic renal failure infection appears to be less of a problem except around the sit...

Adults with and without disabilities were surveyed to investigate similarities and differences be tween these groups on dimensions of quality of life. Differences were found in marital status and opportuni ties to make choices, as well as in the extent of social networks and activities experienced by these two groups. The authors contend that quality of life is a socially constructed phenomenon...

—Activity patterns of animals can vary depending on both endogenous and environmental factors. Although black bears exhibit substantial variation in activity across the year, relatively little is known about how daily activity patterns and associated movement rates differ among sex and age classes across seasons. We used fine-scale movement data from black bears fitted with GPS collars to evalu...
