13. Career progression of academic medical library directors.
While females are still underrepresented as directors overall, the results of our survey indicate that in the past ten years female library directors have been hired in numbers nearly matching their overall percentage of the medical library profession. When the personal characteristics of medical library directors are compared by gender, male directors are m

14. Social Health Maintenance Organizations: assessing their initial experience.
The Social/Health Maintenance Organization (S/HMO) is a four-site national demonstration. This program combines Medicare Part A and B coverage, with various extended and chronic care benefits, into an integrated health plan. The provision of these services extends both the traditional roles of HMOs and that of long-term care community-service case management

15. Genetic benefits enhance the reproductive success of polyandrous females
Although it is generally accepted that females can gain material benefits by mating with more than one male, the proposal that polyandry provides genetic benefits remains controversial, largely because direct experimental support is lacking. Here, we report the results of a study testing for genetic benefits to polyandry in the pseudoscorpion Cordylochernes

16. Lack of homology between dog and human placental alkaline phosphatases
Alkaline phosphatases [ALPases; orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (alkaline optimum), EC 3.1.3.1] from dog and human placenta, liver, bone, kidney, and intestine were investigated by inhibition studies with L-homoarginine, L-phenylalanine, and L-phenylalanylglycyl-glycine; by thermostability studies; and by electrophoresis, both before and after tre

19. X-ray crystallographic identification of a protein-binding site for both all-trans- and 9-cis-retinoic acid.
The elucidation of how a protein-binding site might specifically recognize both the all-trans and 9-cis isomers of retinoic acid is of particular interest because of the recently discovered binding specificities of the nuclear receptors for retinoic acid. Two families of nuclear receptors for retinoic acid have been described, which are designated RAR (for r
