TL;DR: The relationship of the establishment of that primate colony to the development of the National Regional Primate Research Center Program in the United States and the Laboratory of Perinatal Physiology in Puerto Rico is described.
Abstract: This is an account of the vicissitudes of the monkeys on Cayo Santiago. In it is described the relationship of the establishment of that primate colony to the development of the National Regional Primate Research Center Program in the United States and the Laboratory of Perinatal Physiology in Puerto Rico.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new way of locating the presence or absence of stability in a dyadic arms race was proposed, with a focus on the effect of change in the characteristics of the arms and how such change impacts on the arms race stability.
Abstract: The field of quantitative arms race modeling is rich in tradition when compared t o most social science paradigms. It has a history that can be traced back to 1939, when Lewis F. Richardson published his first monograph relating arms competition between nations to the outbreak of war. In this paper an attempt is made to carry forth three additions to the many modifications on Richardson’s original models: (1) a new way of locating the presence or absence of stability in a dyadic arms race; (2) a focus on teclzizological change in weapons characteristics as such change impacts on arms race stability, and (3) a more extensive consideration of the costcoizstraiiztfririctioiz than has been accomplished previously.

TL;DR: It was concluded that Transcendental Meditation is not an effective means of reducing autonomic responses to stress under the present testing conditions.
Abstract: In Exp. I, the spontaneous GSR of seven Transcendental Meditators and seven nonmeditators was measured in a sequence of five conditions: stress (shock avoidance)--rest--meditation (meditators) or rest/eyes closed (nonmeditators)--stress (shock avoidance)--rest. In Exp. II, the spontaneous GSR of a similar group of subjects was measured in a sequence of three conditions: rest--meditation or rest/eyes closed--rest. Analysis of variance did not yield significant differences between meditators and nonmeditators although analysis did verify that the shock-avoidance task effectively produced anxiety. It was concluded that Transcendental Meditation is not an effective means of reducing autonomic responses to stress under the present testing conditions.
