متن کاملIdentifying renal medullary neighborhoods--when do distances matter?
RENAL ANATOMISTS are special: few in number, but capable of providing enduring scientific contributions.

The reported results will appear in subsequent papers, the first of which is [l ]. The approach taken is always via the theory of simple homotopy types (due to J. H. C.

متن کاملDo neighborhoods matter? A multilevel analysis of alcohol consumption patterns in Uganda
This paper presents a re-analysis of data on patterns of alcohol consumption with adjustment for cluster effects. The outcomes of interest were the consumption of alcohol at least three times a week and consuming 12 or more drinks in a single day. Multilevel regression analysis was applied using STATA V.10. Results show that there is a significant variation in the likelihood of drinking frequen...
