The new approach to wilderness preservation through benefit-cost analysis
(Elsevier, 1982-03)
Over the last 15 years, economists of Resources for the Future led by John Krutilla have been developing a new approach to wilderness preservation. This paper offers a concise exposition of their approach and adds a few ...
Lesions of the central nucleus of the amygdala I: Effects on taste reactivity, taste aversion learning and sodium appetite
(Elsevier, 1993-12-31)
Bilateral damage to the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeAX) in the rat blunts need-induced NaCl intake and abolishes daily need-free NaCl intake when measured with a two-bottle test. Such a deficit could be the result ...
Temporal pattern of C1q deposition after transient focal cerebral ischemia
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-04)
Recent studies have focused on elucidating the contribution of individual complement proteins to post-ischemic cellular injury. As the timing of complement activation and deposition after cerebral ischemia is not well ...
Androgen receptor immunoreactivity in the male and female Syrian hamster brain
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-06-05)
To investigate potential mechanisms for sex differences in the physiologic response to androgens, the present study compared the hormonal regulation of intracellular androgen receptor partitioning and the distribution of ...
Culturing spinal cord explants in a collagen gel
(Elsevier, 1984-08)
A new method for culturing spinal cord slices or explants is presented which entails the use of a commercially available purified collagen, Vitrogen. Vitrogen provides a stable three-dimensional matrix for culturing spinal ...
Further studies on a novel animal model of depression: Therapeutic effects of a tricyclic antidepressant
(Elsevier, 1981)
We have previously shown that rats given stress before open field testing have elevated activity in comparison with unstressed rats. This acute behavioral response may be eliminated by chronic stress and restored by ...
Density estimation with Haar series
(Elsevier, 1990-02)
Rate of convergence for density estimators based on Haar series are derived under very mild condition: the unknown density has to be of bounded variation. These estimators are histograms on dyadic intervals.
Experimental and mathematical modeling studies of protozoan predation on bacteria
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1973-07)
The predation of bacteria by protozoan in both continuous and batch cultures was studied using experimental and modeling techniques. The predator organism was the ciliate, Tetrahymena pyriformis. The bacterium, Aerobacter ...
