Abstract:
A variant of the Rous sarcoma virus induced tumors in newborn Chinese hamsters within 2 to8 weeks. The tumors grew progressively and sometimes metastasized. They were successfully transplanted in series in Syrian hamsters. The chromosomes of the tumors in the Chinese hamstersas well as of those transplanted into the Syrian hamsters were Chinese hamster chromosomes. Virus was demonstrated in the Chinese hamster tumors by injecting material from the tumors into chickens, where Rous sarcomas subsequently appeared.

Stereotype Content Model
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence categorization, a person will feel...
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is a severe tick-borne illness caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a Gram-negative, coccobacillary bacterium. This pathogen is an obligate intracellular parasite, requiring a host cell for replication. Transmission occurs through the bite of an infected tick. In the United States, the most important vectors are Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick) and Dermacentor andersoni (Rocky Mountain wood tick), though other tick species may also serve as vectors.
