Study of anti-Thatcherist tendencies in British cinema of the 1980s.

Objective: We assessed the risk of prostate cancer by exposure to Chlamydia trachomatis. Method: Seven hundred thirty eight cases of prostate cancer and 2,271 matched controls were identified from three serum sample banks in Finland, Norway, and Sweden by linkage to the population based cancer registries. Results: A statistically significant inverse association (odds ratio, 0.69; 95% confidence in

High-spin states were populated in Sr-80 With the reaction Ni-58(Si-28,alpha 2p), using a 130 MeV Si-28 beam from the 88-Inch Cyclotron at LBNL. Gamma rays were detected with Gammasphere. and evaporated alphas and protons were detected with the Microball. The level scheme has been extended, and angular distributions of many of the transitions have been measured. A portion of the data was taken usi

Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and other capture media are typically produced by grafting different ligands to base matrices at defined surface densities. This often complicates media production. An alternative approach to media involving in situ radical initiated polymerization was used to graft polymer coatings directly at Sepharose(D polymeric base matrices. This method appears su

Background: Gene duplication followed by the functional divergence of the resulting pair of paralogous proteins is a major force shaping molecular networks in living organisms. Recent species-wide data for protein-protein interactions and transcriptional regulations allow us to assess the effect of gene duplication on robustness and plasticity of these molecular networks. Results: We demonstrate t

Using a new channel shape equation for straight channels and a more versatile channel shape or local flow depth equation for natural streams a method is developed for prediction of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient in single-channel natural streams, including straight and meandering ones. The method involves derivation of a new triple integral expression for the longitudinal dispersion coeff

The morphology of cerebral microvessels was studied immunohistochemically and ultrastructurally in 6- to 9-month-old normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP) with a systolic blood pressure of 138 +/- 15 mm Hg, 189 +/- 9 mm Hg, and 258 +/- 30 mm Hg respectively. Regions with major opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) were revealed

The design and properties of a double twin heat conduction microcalorimeter are described. In this instrument two twin microcalorimeters are placed close together, one on top of the other. The size of the instrument is the same as that of a commercial single twin microcalorimeter and each of the twin parts has similar properties as one normal twin microcalorimeter. The cross-talk between the calor

This paper examines tongue movements in stop and fricative consonants where the duration of the oral closure/constriction for the consonant is varied for linguistic purposes. Native speakers of Japanese served as subjects. The linguistic material consisted of Japanese word pairs that only differed in the duration of the lingual consonant, which was either long or short. Recordings were made of ton

Feminists, like many others, want to make a difference. They are interested in social change. They are especially interested in the ways this concerns the position of women in our societies. In order to accomplish this, the different actors within the women’s movements of Europe must be present in the political arenas where decisions are made. This concerns white indigenous women, as well as Black

Non-radiative decay of core excitations at the B 1s and N 1s absorption edges of bulk hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has been studied with resonant Auger spectroscopy. In order to reproduce the bulk properties of the sample while keeping it electrically conducting, we have grown reasonably thick (more than 20nm) polycrystalline films of h-BN on a Ni(111) surface by thermal cracking of borazine vap

Purpose: Prostaglandin E-2 and its EP1 receptor were suggested as endogenous modulators of bladder function in the normal physiological state and under pathophysiological conditions. We investigated if the new EP1 receptor antagonist PF-2907617-02 would influence the regulation of normal micturition in rats, and if it affects bladder function in animals with partial bladder outlet obstruction.
