Better Late Than Never - An Analysis of Last-Minute Travelers Attending a Specialist Travel Medicine Clinic in Ireland

Introduction: Last-minute travelers (LMTs) are a vulnerable group, because it may not be possible to adequately vaccinate them against exposure to infectious diseases. The purpose of this retrospective cross-sectional study was to describe the characteristics of LMTs attending a travel health clinic. Methods: The following data was extracted from records ...

Investigating the vascular influences of sepsis in portal hypertension: better late than never?

Gene regulation: Better late than never?

A new study has found that, in Arabidopsis, the paternal copies of many genes are delayed in expression during early seed development. The distribution of the genes and nature of their products suggest that this delayed expression of paternal alleles may be a global phenomenon.

Childhood weight, stature, and body mass index among never overweight, early-onset overweight, and late-onset overweight groups.

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of timing of onset of overweight (OW) on childhood anthropometric adiposity levels using long-term serial data from the Fels Longitudinal Study. CLASSIFICATION OW was defined as body mass index (BMI; kg/m(2)) >25, and the age at first measurement of BMI >25 was the age of onset of OW. Early onset of OW (early-OW) and late onset of OW (late-OW) were defined a...

Better Late than Never: a Study of Late Entrants in Household Electrical Equipment

For the most part, studies on timing of entry have attempted to determine the advantages that early entrants may be able to develop and hold over subsequent entrants. Given that a large number of firms attempt to enter at a much later stage in the development of the market, it is particularly surprising that little research has attempted to examine the differences in the ability of late movers ...

Better Late Than Never: Filling a Void in the History of Fast Matrix Multiplication and Tensor Decompositions

Multilinear and tensor decompositions are a popular tool in linear and multilinear algebra and have a wide range of important applications to modern computing. Our paper of 1972 presented the first nontrivial application of such decompositions to fundamental matrix computations and was also a landmark in the history of the acceleration of matrix multiplication. Published in 1972 in Russian, it ...
