- ... only slightly from their brothers and sisters up to the age of sixteen. Although the study does appear to have limitations - for example, the subjects were almost all male and their families were all of high socio-economic class - it does have implications on the aetiology of schizophrenia. For example, pointing toward a eurodevelopmental cause of the disorder. Another example of such observations is from a study on eye tracking and ... as D1, in the brains of schizophrenics (cited in Schizophrenia.com, 1997a). This reduction was reported to be correlated to the severity of symptoms. In an analysis of the research, E.

(1996) found that exposure to famine was correlated to risk of schizophrenia. At the ...
- 2823: Plus (computer Program)
- Sather is an object oriented language designed to be simple, efficient, safe, and non-proprietary. It aims to meet the needs of modern research groups and to foster the development of a large, freely available, high-quality library of efficient well-written classes for a wide variety of computational tasks. It was originally based on Eiffel but now incorporates ideas and approaches from several languages. One way of placing it in ... not allow much leeway in expressing placement. For example, extensions allowing the programmer to describe array layout as block-cyclic is helpful for matrix-oriented code but of no use for general data structures. Because high performance appears to require explicit human-directed placement, pSather implements a shared memory abstraction using the most efficient facilities of the target platform available, while allowing the programmer to provide placement directives for control and ... other languages. Its primary debt is to Eiffel, designed by Bertrand Meyer, but it has also been influenced by C, C++, Cecil, CLOS, CLU, Common Lisp, Dylan, ML, Modula-3, Oberon, Objective C, Pascal, SAIL, School, Self, and Smalltalk. Steve Omohundro was the original driving force behind Sather, keeping the language specification from being pillaged by the unwashed hordes and serving as point man for the Sather community until he ...
- 2824: Creative Writing
- Creative Writing My boredom lingered on despair as I sit at home alone wondering what my friends are doing at school. I wouldn’t be in this situation if I would have stayed out of trouble. My antics got me suspended from school, and enough trouble with the law that they had me on house arrest. I could not talk to my friends and I couldn’t go anywhere either. My thoughts start to stray towards Lisa. Lisa ... of sarcasm. And we’re off. The car has a clanging noise, but other than that runs pretty good. We decide we’ll drive out into the country and drive down the gravel roads at high rates of speed. I got picked to do the driving, at least in town. That means no kissing on Lisa for a little while. We are driving about 50 mph down a roller-coaster- ...
- 2825: Britain and Joining The Economic and Monetary Union
- ... measures in general. These are instead to be decided upon from the centre, the European Central Bank (ECB), which some argue has been based upon the German Bundesbank. Patrick Minford, a monetarist from Cardiff Business School, states that " far from making the ECB an exact copy of the German Bundesbank as is often supposed…". This view is further supported by Keynesians and Marxists in the UK . This has a very important ... estimated. A single currency will make hedging a thing of the past and will allow accurate forecasting. The removal of exchange rate variability amongst the EMU member states will shift, not only the short-period, high-frequency fluctuations that characterise many foreign exchange markets, but also the unpredictable longer period swings in European exchange rates. These longer-period swings are difficult to hedge against, and are likely to destroy the profitability ... exports go to other EU members. A true single market is based upon no obstacles to trade. Hence a single currency can be seen as necessary for a continued success of the EU. INTEREST RATES High interest rates are generally found to reduce investment and thereby growth. Lower interest rates are, consequently, likely to give a further boost to public confidence and provide incentives for investment. At present, businesses in ...

Charley said it best when he said to Willy, When the hell are you going to grow up . Willy never did and that is why he ...
- 2827: World War I
- ... nearly destroyed. Still, several questions remain about the Treaty. Was the “Guilt Clause” a mutual agreement of all countries involved or a mission of France and Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau? Had they used Clemenceau’s high status as part of the Big Four to push for such harsh punishments on Germany? It is hard to tell if the French used the Treaty as a means for revenge, or if other nations ... is really to blame for the outbreak of World War I in the Balkans? Germany? No. Well, maybe. I believe that Germany is only responsible for war breaking out at the time it did. As high as the tensions were in Europe at the time, the assassination of Ferdinand was only one spark. If that one spark had not lit the fire, war might not have started in 1914. The assassination ... Shanahan, William O., “Germany” Collier’s Encyclopedia, Macmillan Educational Co. & P.F.
