Age-specific migration and regional diversity.

"This author examines patterns of age-specific migration between 1980 and 1990 for a small, growing region, the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.A., with the purpose of assessing the degree of geographic diversity in experience. A simple typology of the expected spatial and structural pattern of age-specific migration is proposed. Cluster analysis is used to group counties on the basis of age-specific rates of net migration. Even this fairly small region is found to exemplify most of the patterns that might be expected to occur in the nation as a whole."

Population redistribution within metropolitan regions in the 1980s: core, satellite, and exurban growth.

"This paper evaluates the hypothesis that the growth experiences of core parts of metropolitan areas [in the United States] tend to predict the growth of satellite, exurban, and even more distant non-metropolitan areas. Particular attention is paid to evidence of spillover of growth into adjacent smaller metropolises and smaller cities, and to the hypothesis that spillover is especially marked in areas of rapid growth, growth restrictions, and housing price inflation. The hypotheses are supported by 1980-1990 patterns of change, as is the continuing attractiveness of exurban and non-metropolitan environmental amenities."

Use of propranolol for provoked and unprovoked episodes of rage.

The use of propranolol to treat unprovoked rage episodes in brain-damaged patients has recently been reported. The authors report three cases that indicate a role for its use in the treatment of overall aggressiveness in brain-damaged or mentally retarded patients.
