1. The metabolism of an intravenous pulse dose of double-isotope-labelled cholecalciferol has been studied in control subjects with widely differing states of vitamin D nutrition and in patients with primary disorders of parathyroid function. 2. The formation of labelled 1,25-dihydroxy-cholecalciferol [1,25-(OH)2D3] and labelled 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [24,25-(OH)2D3] has been related to...

The standard criticism on the left of neoliberalism, whose ideological core is what Somers aptly calls ‘market fundamentalism’, is that it harms the economic interests of most people and is bad for the overall functioning of the economy. On the one hand, market fundamentalism leads to a rejection of the affirmative state and thus the massive under-provision of a wide range of public goods; on t...

The development and adult production of birdsong are subserved by specialized brain nuclei, including the robust nucleus of the archistriatum (RA), and its afferents originating in the caudal nucleus of the ventral hyperstriatum (HVc) and the lateral portion of the magnocellular nucleus of the anterior neostriatum (L-MAN). An in vitro brain slice preparation was used to characterize the electro...

the current research was planned to investigate the effect of maleic anhydride (man) and glycidyl methacrylate (gma) treatments on morphological and physical properties of the hornbeam wood-styrene composite. test samples were divided according to astm d4446-05 to control and treated with man, st, man/st and man /st/gma. treatment was performed by vacuum- pressure method using a experimental cy...

pituitary gland metastasis was seen in elderly patients, and the incidence of pituitary metastasis is 1% to 4% of all cancer patients. renal cell carcinoma is a primary malignancy in only 2.6% of pituitary metastases. we reported a 50-year-old man with pituitary metastasis from renal cell carcinoma that had signs of diabetes insipidus. he had multiple lesions in both lungs, and bone scan involv...

on how these systems add value (Markus & Tanis, 1999; Ross & Vitale, 2000; Somers and Nelson, 2001), implementation issues (Parr et al., 1999; Scott & Vessey, 2001), and how they should be combined with other information technology (IT) resources (Hayman, 2000). Being a relatively novel phenomenon, there are aspects of ERP that have not been covered well in research – yet. Two such interrelated...
