seem to be the origin of spontaneous activities in our patient. Pharmacological studies support this hypothesis. Stimulation SFEMG confirmed a normal neuromuscular transmission in Schwartz-Jampel syndrome, whereas voluntary SFEMG was not helpful due to technical difficulties. Jitter studies have been performed in three previous reports of Schwartz-Jampel syndrome.2 4 However, adequate numbers o...

It is argued that the criticisms by Schwartz and Schwartz of Jensen's analysis of IQ data on monozygotic twins reared apart fall down on two central points, methodological and theoretical: (a) Valid inferences concerning the broad heritability of intelligence can be drawn from analysis of the combined data from several independent studies of MZ twins reared apart, even though the groups differ ...

A rapidly growing body of research attests to the interest in women's entrepreneurship (e.g. Boyd, 2005; Bruni, Gheradi, & Poggio, 2004; Brush, Carter, Gatewood, Greene & Hart, 2006; Lerner & Pines, 2011; Mulholland, 1996; Pines, 2002; Pines & Schwartz, 2008). This interest is relatively recent (Humbert, Drew & Kelan, 2009). As Carter and Shaw (2006) have noted, research on entrepreneurship has...

one  of  the  fundamental needs  for  the  human  is  to  have  a  workplace in  which  they  can  do  their  workappropriately. worldwide energy crisis necessitated the construction of official buildings with smaller space and less air ventilation. this led to the reduction in air conditioning, accumulation of the contaminants in indoor, increased exposure, health threat concerning the staff i...

One of primary reasons for the establishment of the ARM Southern Great Plains research site was to obtain long-term records of surface radiation data and the impact of clouds on these data (Stokes and Schwartz 1994). This research project focuses on the creation of a two-year climatology of the surface radiation budget and the impact of clouds on that budget. The period of analysis extends from...

This study uses data from the European Social Survey in order to test the Prinstein-Dodge hypothesis that posits that peer effects may be larger in collectivistic than in individualistic societies. When defining individualism and collectivism at the country level, our results show that peer effects on obesity are indeed larger in collectivistic than in individualistic societies. However, when d...

The original hypothesis of Schwartz and Hulka (1990) proposing that vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for prostate cancer has triggered many studies. Epidemiological studies have supported this hypothesis with findings that sunlight exposure is inversely proportional to prostate cancer mortality and that prostate cancer risk is greater in men with lower levels of vitamin D (Hanchette an...
