The incidence of cardiovascular disease (CAD) differs between men and women, in part because of differences in risk factors and hormones. This sexual dimorphism means a lower incidence in atherosclerotic diseases in ...

La Guerra del Pacífico es, hasta hoy, fuente de controversias para la historiografía del vecino país. Condicionada inicialmente por factores nacionalistas, la profesionalización del oficio del historiador, y la necesidad ...

We report on the experimental realization of a quasi-one-dimensional photonic graphene ribbon supporting four flat-bands (FBs). We study the dynamics of fundamental and dipolar modes, which are analogous to the s and p ...

We describe a quantitative method for determination of iron in stool to monitor consumption of iron-fortified milk in infants. The method is simple, fast, and inexpensive. Stool samples from infants consuming fortified ...

We describe a procedure for the preparation of various metal thiourea complexes of the type [M(CO)5L] in which M Cr or W and L TU (thiourea), TMTU (tetramethylthiourea), DptTU (NN′-di-p-totyl thiourea); DtBTU = (NN′-di-t-butyl ...

Background/Aims: Although water resistance therapy (WRT) has been widely used in voice training, no data are supporting the effectiveness of WRT as vocal warm-up for singers. The present study aimed to determine the effects ...

This is a diachronic, comparative, corpus-based study of the development of the Ancient Greek verbs kamno and eutheiazo, originally meaning GET TIRED and STRAIGHTEN, respectively, into their modern meanings, roughly ...

Maximization of the path information entropy is a clear prescription for constructing models in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Here it is shown that, following this prescription under the assumption of arbitrary ...

In this paper we study a simplified model of the behavior of a 3-D solid made from two elastic homogeneous materials separated by a rapidly oscillating interface. We study the asymptotic beha¨ior of the solution of such ...
