Empowerment processes in shelters for battered women
(1991)
Three major dimensions of the empowerment process are identified (actors, goals, guidelines for practice) through a review of the literature on the practice of empowerment. Subsequently, empowerment is formally defined as ...
Determination of thermodynamic properties of natural gas mixtures by direct and indirect methods
(1994)
Experimental temperatures and pressures were obtained using a Burnett-isochoric apparatus, and corresponding densitites derived for two mistures of carbon dioxide (1) and hydrogen sulfide (2); x1 = 0.7067, x2 = 0.2933 and ...
Test for change in a mean function when the data are dependent
(1994)
Detecting changes in the mean of a stochastic process is important in, for example, quality control problems. We develop powerful tests for the null hypothesis that the underlying mean is constant against very general ...
Hankel approximation and its applications
(1991)
General results in the theory of Hankel operators are described first. Hankel approximation in special situations is investigated from the geometric point of view, and the AAK theory on Hankel operators on the unit disc ...
Theoretical and numerical studies of organized convective lines
(1994)
An extensive study of organized convection is carried out through an analytical approach and numerical modeling, with specific emphasis on the dynamics of two-dimensional convective lines. A hierarchical generalization of ...
Total factor productivity in Mexican manufacturing : an analysis of the sources of growth, 1975-85
(1993)
This study provides an analysis of the effects of Mexico's industrial development policies on the structure and productivity of its manufacturing base between 1975 and 1985. Because virtually every aspect of the economy ...
Developmental regulation of heat shock proteins : 70.1 in murine embryos and 70.1 and 70.4 in bovine embryos
(1993)
Heat stress causes embryonic mortality in the bovine and in the mouse. A group of proteins known as heat shock proteins (HSPs) are synthesized in response to heat stress and are thought to enhance cellular thermotolerance. ...
An agricultural sector analysis of the United States sugar import policy
(1990)
The United States has maintained a sugar import quota since 1982. This policy, while supporting U.S. producer prices and incomes at a high level, has caused consumers to pay more for sugar and has reduced the incomes of ...
Regulation and evolution of the patatin multigene family : suggestions of combinatorial interactions directing tissue-specific gene expression
(1992)
While much has been written about the evolution of new tissues or organs, little is known about the origin of the regulatory elements that direct gene expression in new structures. Questions also arise about how new ...
Antiestrogenic and antimitogenic effects of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (TCDD) : in vitro mechanistic studies
(1993)
2,3,7,8 -Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a broad spectrum antiestrogen which works through the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor. The estrogen receptor (ER) positive hum an ovarian carcinoma cell lines PE01, PE04 and ...
