TL;DR: The authors found that most American children acquire positive and supportive feelings toward the government and political leaders, develop a sense of efficacy as early as the third grade, believe it is important to vote, and are not as politically cynical as adults.
Abstract: M [ost American children acquire early in life the belief that individual political action can influence governmental decision making. They demonstrate positive and supportive feelings toward the government and political leaders, develop a sense of efficacy as early as the third grade, believe it is important to vote, and are not as politically cynical as adults.' Easton and Hess have described the child's political socialization as follows:

TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to question the need for surgical treatment of the extensive periapical lesion and to present a method of treating the lesion with minimal surgical intervention and injury to any of the related structures in cases of extensive regions of rarefaction.

TL;DR: In this article, a theory of generalized splines is developed for all regular formally self adjoint differential operators with real coefficients, and a special case of such operators are those which may be factored in the formL 1 * L 1, such as those related to the generalized spline of Ahlberg, Nilson, and Walsh [1, 2], and the L-splines of Schultz and Varga [6].
Abstract: A theory of generalized splines is developed for all regular formally self adjoint differential operatorsL with real coefficients. A special case of such operators are those which may be factored in the formL =L 1 * L 1, such as those related to the generalized splines of Ahlberg, Nilson, and Walsh [1, 2], and theL-splines of Schultz and Varga [6]. Theorems giving unique interpolation, integral relations, and convergence rates are established. IfL has a certain positivity property, a useful extremal result is proven.

TL;DR: The present study exploring the Leukocytosis-Inducing Factor (LIF) isolated in leukophoresed plasma found it to be present in the plasma of cancerous rabbits and present to a greater extent in the leukopenic plasma of normal leukophile animals.
Abstract: Experiments with the effects of leukocytosis on tumor growth and animal survival time using the V-2 carcinoma transplant in the rabbit failed to show any effect of the leukocytosis per se. However, the present study exploring the Leukocytosis-Inducing Factor (LIF) isolated in leukophoresed plasma found it to be present in the plasma of cancerous rabbits and present to a greater extent in the leukopenic plasma of normal leukophoresed animals. The target cell of the LIF appears to be neutrophil-forming tissue with production of neutrophilic band cells and metamyelocytes. The optimal injection volume and time interval following leukophoresis-leukopenia for achieving maximum leukocytosis suggest a “time-dose” relationship. There was a marked absolute increase in leukocyte response of the cancerous recipients over noncancerous recipients following the injection of cancerous and noncancerous leukopenic plasma as well as both relative and absolute increase with the injection of the former over the latter into both recipients. The interrelationship of chemotherapy, radiation, and leukophoresis is discussed in reference to their common denominator of leukopenia and consequent tumor suppression, immunosuppression, and LIF production which are probably motivated by the Host Resistance Factor (HRF).

TL;DR: In the early years of the nineteenth century, when polemicists turned to history more often than to philosophy or theology, the Reformation was the subject most littered with the pamphlets of partisan debate as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: ‘No portion of our annals’, Macaulay wrote in 1828, ‘has been more perplexed and misrepresented by writers of different parties than the history of the Reformation’. In the early years of the nineteenth century, when polemicists turned to history more often than to philosophy or theology, the Reformation was the subject most littered with the pamphlets of partisan debate. Macaulay could have cited numerous examples. Joseph Milner's popular History of the Church of Christ (1794–1809) set the Reformation in sharp contrast to the ‘Dark Ages’ when only occasional gleams of evangelical light could be detected, thus providing the Evangelical party with a historic lineage; Robert Sou they, in his Book of the Church (1824), presented a lightly-veiled argument for the retention of the existing order of Church and State as established in the sixteenth century; and in 1824 William Cobbett began the first of his sixteen weekly instalments on a history of the Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland, in order to call attention to the plight of labourers in the British Isles. In the history of the Reformation, duly manipulated (‘rightly interpreted’), men found precedents for their own positions and refutation of their opponents' arguments.
