Mandatory seat belt laws in eight states: a time-series evaluation
(Elsevier, 1988)
We examined state-specific and aggregate effects of U.S. legislation requiring the use of seat belts among front-seat motor vehicle occupants. Effects of compulsory seat belt use on the number of occupants fatally injured ...
Assay and properties of the enzyme catalyzing the biosynthesis of 1-O-alkyl dihydroxyacetone 3-phosphate
(Elsevier, 1981-10-01)
The properties of the enzyme alkyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate synthase (1-O-acyl dihydroxyacetone 3-phosphate + ROH --> 1-O-alkyl dihydroxyacetone 3-phosphate + fatty acid) in Ehrlich ascites tumor cell microsomes were ...
Toward the development of a field methodology for evaluating discomfort glare from automobile headlamps
(Elsevier, 1988)
The aim of this research was to collect information and experimental data toward the development of a universally acceptable methodology for evaluating discomfort glare from vehicle headlamps. Three separate studies were ...
Calcium compartmentation in isolated renal tubules in suspension
(Elsevier, 1988-04)
Substantial increases of total cell Ca2+ have been observed in suspensions of isolated rabbit proximal tubules subjected to hypoxic injury or treated with exogenous ATP followed by apparent recovery with reoxygenation of ...
Cervical carcinoma antigen: Distribution in neoplastic lesions of the uterine cervix and comparison to other tumor markers
(Elsevier, 1988-05)
Four antibodies (anti-CCA, anti-CEA, Ca-1, and anti-EMA) were used to study the distribution of antibody-binding sites in normal endocervical mucosa, metaplastic squamous epithelium, squamous epithelium exhibiting varying ...
Electrophysiological correlates of presynaptic opiate receptor activation: reduction in norepinephrine-mediated inhibition from the locus coeruleus
(Elsevier, 1987-10-13)
Inhibitory responses of rat cerebellar Purkinje cells to locus coeruleus (LC) stimulation and iontophoresis of norepinephrine (NE) were examined before and after administration of morphine to determine whether the inhibitory ...
[omega]-1 and [omega]-2 hydroxylation of prostaglandins by rabbit hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 isozyme 6
(Elsevier, 1985-11-15)
Incubation of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) with liver microsomes from control rabbits and from rabbits treated with ethanol or imidazole yielded 18-, 19-, and 20-hydroxy metabolites, representing hydroxylation at [omega]-2, ...
Educating peers about human sexuality and birth control in natural settings: A social comparison perspective
(Elsevier, 1984)
Adolescents are being trained to play several important roles in educating peers about human sexuality and birth control. A social comparison perspective offers numerous advantages over a persuasive communication perspective ...

(Elsevier, 1983-03-21)
Multiple unit activity in response to visual stimulation was recorded in the following telencephalic areas of the painted turtle: lateral and medial divisions of the dorsal cortex, lateral and medial divisions of the dorsal ...
MPOA and BNST lesions in male Syrian hamsters : Differential effects on copulatory and chemoinvestigatory behaviors
(Elsevier, 1987-03)
Electrolytic lesions were made in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) to evaluate their participation in the neural regulation of copulatory and chemoinvestigatory behaviors in ...
