P-wave neutron strength functions of 21 nuclei, in the rare-earth and deformed region 138 < A < 202, have been extracted from the average capture cross sections measured using Sb-Be photoneutrons and activation technique. s-wave neutron contribution is computed using the s-wave resonance parameters

Abstract
Cytophotometric analyses of Feulgenβstained nuclei present in homogenates of vertical and subseophageal lobes of octopus brain have shown that the latter region contains larger nuclei with up to several times the amount of DNA present in vertical nuclei. No obvious relationship was found between DNA content and nuclear size. Except for a rather small minority, nuclei of the vertical lobe have a uniform size and the expected diploid amount of DNA. These parameters are not substantially dependent on body weight. In contrast, the DNA content of subesophageal nuclei increases progressively with body weight. The amount of DNA found in subesophageal nuclei does not seem to be a simple multiple of the diploid or haploid value.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) emerges during childhood through young adulthood coinciding with the late phases of postnatal brain development when fine remodeling of brain anatomy takes place. Previous research has suggested the existence of subtle anatomical alterations in OCD involving focal
