Folic Acid Supplementation: to Advise or not to Advise?

To let hair be, or to not let hair be? Gender and body hair removal practices in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Research and anecdotal evidence suggest women continue to remove body hair, and there is some evidence for cultural changes in men's hair removal practices. This paper reports on data collected using an online mix-methods survey from 584 New Zealanders between the ages of 18-35 (mean age 26, 48.9% male, 50.6% female). The data demonstrated that substantial proportions of both women and men in A...

IEEE P1581: To Live or Let die?

Abstract Since 2001, the IEEE P1581 working group aims to provide a test standard for memories that cannot have boundary-scan. This P1581 activity focuses on test access and test circuitry. This paper elaborates on the status of the draft standard. It describes the test circuitry and an economic model for users of P1581 devices is presented. Currently, the working group is facing a lack of inte...

Goats and deer do not use terpenoids to select or avoid browsing on

A comparison between heavily browsed and non-browsed Juniperus pinchotii trees revealed that, in contrast to the recent J. ashei study (Adams et al., 2013), the percentage of total volatile leaf oil yields were not significantly different (P > 0.05) between non-browsed trees (1.08%, DM-basis) and browsed trees (0.94%, DM basis). Only one terpene in the mg/g data, α-pinene, was significantly dif...

Let Should Not Be Generalised

From the dawn of time, all derivatives of the classic Hindley-Milner type system have supported implicit generalisation of local letbindings. Yet, as we will show, for more sophisticated type systems implicit let-generalisation imposes a disproportionate complexity burden. Moreover, it turns out that the feature is very seldom used, so we propose to eliminate it. The payoff is a substantial sim...
