A mathematical model to describe the thermal history of an atomised non-spherical droplet during solidification is formulated. Four distinct solidification stages, the initial transition stage, the rapid solidification stage, the slow solidification stage
The phenomenon of stuttering from Biblical times is covered from a historical and cultural point of view. Theories of its origin and the methods by which it was treated in former times including the surgical procedures of the 18th and 19th century are exa
It is a new attempt to study thermal evolution related to mineralization using the fission track (FT) method. Apatite and zircon fission track data are reported for 6 samples collected from Jiama ore district as well as its periphery. The FT ages of apati
The present paper demonstrates how explicit representations of financial prices and returns can be derived in economies with history-dependent utility. While the techniques are applicable to a wide range of economies, they are applied to a representative
Whereas ecological assessments of contaminants are concerned with populations and higher levels of organization, most mechanistic work in toxicology is directed at effects on individuals and their parts. We propose that studies based on individuals can be
Several studies have concluded that the effect of matric suction on the shear strength of unsaturated soil is very important. However, little attention is given to the stress history due to unsaturation and drainage condition in the arrangement of these e
A previous volume history should be established prior to pressure-volume (P-V) curve measurement, however the effect of the volume history and the peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) during the P-V measurement has not been explored. Lung injury was created by
The history of clinical dermatology in Bremen began in 1891 with a dermatology unit founded in the main building of the then so-called Big Hospital, nowadays Central Hospital Sankt-Juergen-Street. Friedrich B. Hahn became the first director and served in
Family history of asthma and allergies strongly influences asthma risk in children, but the association may differ for early-onset persistent, early-onset transient, and late-onset asthma. We analyzed the relation between family history and these types of
Huntington's disease's (HD) clinical history has not been defined yet. However, many aspects of the most confusing clinical stages, i.e., the first and last disease phases, including the symptom progression and the disease duration, have been better app
BACKGROUND. In native population of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the rate of consanguineous marriages is 50.5%. This study was designed to determine whether the rates of consanguinity and family history of cancer among the families of children with lym
Life-history traits correlated to reproduction are important in deciding adaptability of insects. Lagria hirta L. has a short phytophagous adult phase in summer and a very long saprophagous larval phase extending from autumn until spring. This study revea
We document a strong association between predation environment and life-history phenotypes in the Costa Rican livebearing fish Brachyrhaphis rhabdophora. Populations that co-occurred with piscine predators attained maturity at a smaller size, and produced
Background: The present study was conducted to examine the natural history of superficial bladder cancer. Methods: One hundred and forty-four patients with superficial bladder cancer who had been treated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB
Ten rats were given extended lever-press training on a fixed-interval (FI) 30-s food reinforcement schedule from the outset or following exposure to one or two previous reinforcement schedules. For 4 rats the previous schedule was either fixed-ratio 20, w
