The origin of trichinellosis, which existed in ancient times as testified by the discovery of parasite larvae on an Egyptian mummy, unfolded in several stages: discovery of encapsulated larvae (in the 1820s), identification and scientific description of t
We explored the relation between family history of coronary heart disease and the risk of myocardial infarction in a case-control study of subjects, 45 to 70 years of age, living in Stockholm, Sweden. Our cases comprised 1091 male and 531 female first-tim
There are repeating patterns in the histories of communication technologies, including ordinary mail, the telegraph, the telephone, and the Interact. In particular, the typical story for each service is that quality rises, prices decrease, and usage incre
Objectives. To examine the relationships of parental and family pain history on the pain experience of children with chronic rheumatic disease. The aims of the study were as follows: 1) to describe the pain history of parents and families of children with
Background Aetiological profiles of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) may differ depending upon whether the disease is inheritance-related or sporadic. Because familial risk (a probable surrogate of inheritance-relatedness) of NHL is influenced by haematolymp
This project applied Jorgensen's three image retrieval tasks (1995) and Enser's four models of image retrieval (1995) to investigate end-users' image retrieval tasks and image query modes in the field of art history. Twenty-six undergraduate students m
Background Self-reported work histories are an essential tool for estimating exposure in many occupational epidemiologic studies. However, the transience of some occupations such as farm work can hamper recall, resulting in inaccurate reporting. To addres
Differentially higher rates of aggression in treatment sessions occurred in the presence of two staff members who had previously worked with the participant at another facility. Adding an edible reinforcer for compliance and the absence of aggression in,s
The star formation histories of Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies are commonly viewed as episodic: short starbursts separated by long quiescent periods. However, the near-IR color magnitude diagrams of three nearby type 'iE' BCDs obtained with the NICMO
Our understanding of the diversity of mammalian life histories is based almost exclusively on eutherian mammals, in which the slow-fast continuum persists even after controlling for effects of body size and phylogeny. In this paper, we use modern comparat
Antarctic notothenioid early life history strategies are examined in general and then for common species at South Georgia. Channichthyids, bathydraconids, artedidraconids and some nototheniids have large eggs 3.0-4.9 mm whereas other nototheniids and harp
The 30-year story of the geography department at Oxford Brookes University is presented as an oral history in the words of the experienced full-time staff. The department has gained a reputation in the UK and beyond for innovative active-learning methods
The proportion of essential tremor (ET) cases that can be attributed to genetic factors is unknown: estimates range from 17-100%. One possible reason for this variability is that clinic and community cases may differ with regard to family history of ET. T
There are many cases in which ground is subjected to stress history not only via artificial actions but also by tectonic movement. The effects of stress history under three dimensional stress conditions are one of the important phenomena which have to be
In this work a software developed in the Instituto de Fisica Gleb Wataghin, IFGW, UNICAMP, Campinas, SP, Brazil for obtaining thermal histories using apatite fission track analysis is presented. This software works in Microsoft-Windows environment. It wil
