Abstract. The infrared absorption spectrum of a natural antigorite sample from New Caledonia is compared to its theoretical counterpart computed for the pristine m=17 polysome within density functional perturbation theory framework. model reproduces most bands related Si-O stretching in 800–1300 cm−1 range, OH libration, hindered translation and SiO4 bending 400–800 3500–3700 range. Most observ...

Less than 200 radio-loud active galactic nuclei are known above redshift 4. Around 40 of them have been observed at milliarcsecond (mas) scale resolution with very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) technique. Some unresolved, compact, relativistically beamed objects, and blazars jets pointing small angles to the observer's line sight. But there also objects no sign relativistic beaming possib...

A multinational, population-based, casecontrol study was performed to evaluate the effect of cardiac radiation exposure on IHD risk. All women who received radiotherapy and were registered in the Swedish National Cancer Register (diagnosed between 1958 and 2001; younger than seventy years of age) or the Danish Breast Cancer Cooperative Group (diagnosed between 1977 and 2000; younger than sevent...

INTRODUCTION Sleep disturbances are present in approximately 70% of individuals with an anxiety disorder (AD). Treatments for AD may alleviate associated sleep problems, but empirical support for this view is sparse. OBJECTIVE To assess state of knowledge about the impact of CBT for AD on sleep disturbances. METHOD Systematic search for clinical trials of CBT for any AD in PsycINFO, MedLine...

J Appl Physiol 99: 1205–1213, 2005; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00193.2005.—Diabetes has reached epidemic proportions worldwide and is associated with a large economic burden, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and premature mortality. Hyperglycemia is the hallmark clinical manifestation ...

Previous, small scale, studies have suggested that people of mixed race are perceived as being more attractive than non-mixed-race people. Here, it is suggested that the reason for this is the genetic process of heterosis or hybrid vigour (ie cross-bred offspring have greater genetic fitness than pure-bred offspring). A random sample of 1205 black, white, and mixed-race faces was collected. The...

The purpose of this quantitative and retrospective study was to analyze the prevalence of mammary alterations from 1304 women in the city of Francisco Beltrão-Paraná (PR), Brazil, registered in the SISMAMA system, from a Regional Health Center in Paraná State. Between 2009 and 2012, data was collected in May and June 2013 and statistically analyzed. The results showed that 694 (53.2%) of women ...
