The influence of relative prices on real inequality was greater in the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries than in the twen...

We study the two-body and three-body charmful baryonic B decays: B 0 → Λc p̄ and B → Λc p̄ π(ρ). The factorizable W -exchange contribution to B 0 → Λc p̄ is negligible. Applying the bag model to evaluate the baryon-to-baryon weak transition matrix element, we find B(B → Λc p̄) <∼ 2.5 × 10−5|gB0pΣ+b /8| 2 with gB0pΣ+ b being a strong coupling for the decay Σb → B 0 p and hence the predicted branchin...

Menstrual regulation in Nairobi between October 1982 and October 1985.

The efficacy and complication rate of menstrual regulation with the hand-held Karman cannula was tested on 223 women with amenorrhea up to 56 days in the Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Nairobi, Kenya from October 1982-January 1983. 195 women had positive pregnancy tests, while menstrual regulation was done on the others because of concern over late menses. the procedures we...
