• In postmortem samples of caudate nucleus and accumbens from 48 schizophrenic patients, there were significant increases in both the maximum number binding sites (B<sub>max</sub>) apparent dissociation constant (K<sub>D</sub>) for tritiated spiperone. The increase K<sub>D</sub>probably reflects presence residual neuroleptic drugs, but changes B<sub>max</sub>for spiperone reflect genuine receptor numbers. receptors seen only patients whom medication had been maintained until time death,...
Coulometric electrodes in series have been used with liquid chromatography electrochemical detection to increase selectivity and resolution for the direct analysis of tissue neurotransmitters. Use three coulometric sensors modification, selectivity, peak identification has expanded into "gate" cells or four that allow elimination all electrochemically irreversible substances, "array" up 15 separation co-eluting compounds by their current/voltage characteristics. On-column sensitivity sensor...
The technique of quantitative autoradiography was used to examine the effects Huntington's disease (HD) and schizophrenia on organization striatal dopamine (DA) D1 D2 receptors. Whereas striatum HD cases showed a reduction in density ([3H]SCH 23390) ([3H]spiroperidol) receptors, patterning receptor loss did not match that loss. receptors (65%) is far greater than (28%). there dorsal-ventral gradient effect both subtypes, ventral putamen (PUT) nucleus accumben septi (NAS) were minimal....
The use of drugs in high-performance sports (doping) is a common pool resource (CPR) dilemma: regardless the number other athletes who dope, athlete with strong tastes for victory will find doping optimal; yet if all they bear negative health consequences, although each one's odds are not greatly changed. current regulatory approach relies entirely on centralized bureaucratic methods and ineffective. authors insights developed property literature theory social norms to analyze failure these...
This analysis of data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) for years 1989–91 illuminates important changes in structure wages that were occurring former East Germany during its transition toward a capitalist economy—and are probably other countries Eastern Europe as well. Under new wage regime, workers realized significant returns to schooling gained under socialism, but no work experience. Because experience is largest element human capital older workers, their fell system; and...
BALROG-MON is a Nextflow pipeline for automated analysis of metagenomic long-read data to detect pathogens, annotate antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), link ARGs specific predict ARG origin (e.g., plasmid, chromosomal) and optionally perform steps like community analysis. With both assembly-based assembly-free workflows, applicable wide range sample types with low or high coverage, varying complexities origins. Optional genome binning provides comprehensive overview within the dataset....
In this article we report on a little-known aspect of the consumer credit explosion: It has also happened among poor. Focusing cards, use data from four releases Survey Consumer Finances (SCF), 1983–1995, to trace evolution debt position poor as compared that population at large. The indicate 1983 1995 fraction households with card more than doubled, and average balances held these cards rose almost rapidly nonpoor households. 1983, fewer 1 in 30 had debts greater twice their monthly...
Abstract Little is known about the labor market for volunteers, but even less supply of volunteers to particular industries. This article examines volunteer one industry, hospitals, and choices that make among hospitals with different ownership attributes. Survey data at four located in Madison, Wisconsin, are used estimate importance a number factors influencing people's willingness hospitals. We found job opportunities tax rates affect volunteers. also not indifferent type hospital which...
We use data from the East German sample of Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) to examine incomes privileged individuals during transition socialism capitalism. The standard measure elite status is party membership, but this likely be inaccurate. Instead we identify upper class by ownership a telephone before fall Berlin Wall. find that relative those who had telephones has been consistently higher compared did not, and effect remains even after controlling for ability greatest extent possible in...
Are immigrants on welfare because they are more likely to be eligible or claim benefits for which eligible? The answer is politically important, but most current research immigration and based data from the U.S. difficult due complexities of transfer system make eligibility determinations difficult. In Germany, by contrast, main cash program, Sozialhilfe (Social Assistance), determined a comparatively simple nation-wide formula. We use German Socio-Economic Panel test whether Germany than...
Viruses that are transmitted by arthropods, or arboviruses, have evolved to successfully navigate both the invertebrate and vertebrate hosts, including their immune systems. Biting midges transmit several arboviruses vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). To study interaction between VSV midges, we characterized transcriptomic responses of VSV-infected mock-infected
Precautionary savings models suggest that wealth should rise with income risk. Risk is reduced by means‐tested transfers, however, which implies transfer programs discourage private accumulation. We offer a comprehensive empirical assessment based on variation across states in the generosity of number programs, specifically unemployment insurance and transfers (Aid to Families Dependent Children Food Stamps). use monthly data married couples from Survey Income Program Participation (SIPP)...
Recent literature in social policy proposes that problems like poverty can be reduced by strengthening community norms and other forms of capital. This paper presents a simple model norms, explores the effects counter-effects anti-poverty policies on poverty-related norms. The basic result is to show norm system may react unintended ways: cutting welfare grants order reduce caseload, for example, lessen stigma shown against poor, certain cases enough cause caseloads rise instead fall. As...
