TL;DR: The findings from this first cohort of solo DI families to be studied lend further weight to the view that these women represent a distinct subgroup of single parents, who, out of a strong desire for a child, have made the active choice to go it alone.
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Findings are presented of the second phase of a longitudinal study of solo-mother families created through donor insemination (DI). METHODS: At the time of the child's second birthday, 21 solo DI mother families were compared with 46 married DI families on standardized interview and questionnaire measures of the psychological well being of the mothers, mother-child relationships and the psychological development of the child. RESULTS: The solo DI mothers showed greater pleasure in their child and lower levels of anger accompanied by a perception of their child ar less 'clingy'. Fewer emotional and behavioural difficulties were shown by children of solo than married DI mothers. CONCLUSIONS: The findings from this first cohort of solo DI families to be studied lend further weight to the view that these women represent a distinct subgroup of single parents, who, out of a strong desire for a child, have made the active choice to go it alone. Moreover, this route to parenthood does not necessarily seem to have an adverse effect on mothers' parenting ability or the psychological adjustment of the child.

TL;DR: In this article, three lake-watersheds in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, underlain by similar granitic bedrock and receiving similar levels of acidic deposition, were found to have very different surface water alkalinities.
Abstract: Three lake-watersheds in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, underlain by similar granitic bedrock and receiving similar levels of acidic deposition, were found to have very different surface water alkalinities. The chemical differences appear to be due to differences in the unconsolidated surficial materials in the basins. Woods Lake watershed (mean lake outlet pH of 4.7) is covered by thin till with many interspersed bedrock outcrops. The thinness of these surficial deposits (average depth 2 m) limits the amount of deep percolation of water and thus contact with alkalinity-producing inorganic horizons. In contrast, Panther Lake watershed (mean lake outlet pH of 6.2) is covered by thick glacial till (average depth 24 m). Here more of the precipitation comes in contact with the alkalinity-producing materials. Sagamore Lake watershed is much larger and has areas of both thick and thin deposits and lake outlet pH values intermediate to those of Woods and Panther lakes.

TL;DR: A retrospective analysis of reports of medication administration errors over a period of three and a half years was carried out in a UK psychiatric hospital, finding a busy, noisy environment and personal factors, such as feeling tired or unsupported, contributed to error causation.
Abstract: A retrospective analysis of reports of medication administration errors over a period of three and a half years was carried out in a UK psychiatric hospital. A total of 112 errors and "near misses" were studied. The reporting rate increased over time. Psychotropic, intramuscular, and as-needed medications were overrepresented in the error reports. Fifteen percent of the errors had the potential to cause moderate or severe harm to patients. The two most common factors cited by nurses as contributing to error causation were a busy, noisy environment and personal factors, such as feeling tired or unsupported. Physicians were cited as having contributed to some errors.

TL;DR: Compared larval growth and adult parameters using three artificial diets developed in China for A. glabripennis and two developed for other members of the Lamiini, it is found that nondiapausing larvae reared on Monochamus carolinensis (Olivier) diet needed less time to pupate than nondi Papausing larvae on A.glabrip Dennis diet.
Abstract: The Asian longhorned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky), was recently introduced to the United States and has the potential to destroy many urban and forest trees. A successful artificial diet and rearing protocol are urgently needed, because research with this wood-boring beetle can be conducted only in the confined areas of quarantines. We compared larval growth and adult parameters using three artificial diets, one developed in China for A. glabripennis and two developed for other members of the Lamiini. The only difference in performance of larvae and adults reared on the three diet types was that nondiapausing larvae reared on Monochamus carolinensis (Olivier) diet needed less time to pupate than nondiapausing larvae on A. glabripennis diet. We further evaluated substituting the phloem–cambium of sugar maple, Acer saccharum Marshall, with sawdust or cellulose. Males grew fastest on diets with sawdust or phloem–cambium and remained as pupae for the shortest period of time on A. glabripennis diet. Females grew faster on diets with cellulose than sawdust and lived longest on A. glabripennis diet. The published A. glabripennis artificial diet, modified by increasing the water content from 50.0 to 64.6% (wt:wt) and substituting the phloem–cambium component with cellulose, was the optimal diet tested. A rearing protocol used to maintain our colony is included.

TL;DR: This article explored the impact of communications on investor behavior and trading patterns in the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and found that the audience investigated is an elite one that most actively consumes its media and is rarely observed in studies of media effects.
Abstract: This article explores the impact of communications on investor behaviour and trading patterns in the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The significance of the work is two-fold. First, for many observers, the wild trading patterns that regularly occur in stock markets suggest the presence of ‘strong’ media effects in action; a finding in conflict with mainstream audience research. Second, the audience investigated is an elite one that most ‘actively’ consumes its media and is rarely observed in studies of media effects. The research thus attempts to identify in what ways the media are implicated in stock market movements and, at the same time, how exactly this active, elite audience makes use of its media. The empirical material presented here is primarily that gained from interviews with elite fund managers at the London Stock Exchange, Europe’s largest financial centre.
