Wilson faces life ban

To ban or not to ban?

The past four years have seen a steady increase in the number of companies that offer direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing services and in the number of such tests for genetic risk factors, including a wide range of diseases and other non-disease-related traits. These companies sell their tests outside the traditional healthcare setting and often do not involve healthcare professionals for ...

The Wilson-Wilson Experiment

An example of unipolar induction is a slab of material with (relative) permittivity and (relative) permeability μ that is immersed in a uniform external magnetic field H0 parallel to the plane of the slab, such that if the slab has velocity v perpendicular to H0 but also in the plane of the slab, a nonzero voltage difference V is detected between sliding contacts (fixed in the laboratory) on op...

Bromoxynil Ban

a potent new luteinising hormone-releasing hormone agonist Zoladex (ICI 118630) in a phase I clinical trial. On progression of disease 26 patients have undergone therapeutic oophorectomy. We present the clinical and endocrinological responses to treatment in 45 assessable patients. The response rate to Zoladex in this series was 31% and the ER status of the primary tumour was predictive of a re...

To ban or not to ban? - that is the question.

Perceptual asymmetry for chimeric faces across the life span.

Perceptual asymmetries for processing chimeric faces were investigated in dextral subjects, ranging in age from 5 years to elderly adults. The task involved deciding which member of a pair of face chimeras presented in free vision looks happier, the one with the smile to the left or its mirror image with the smile to the right (Levy, Heller, Banich, & Burton, 1983a, Brain and Cognition, 2, 404-...
