In such a case, the formation of a new urethra is another difficult problem. Cystitis and ascending infection have to be feared as well. It is reported that these children have grown up to adult lite, enjoying good health except for the nuisance caused by constan...

For narrowing with a set of rules ∆ modulo a set of axioms B almost nothing is known about terminating narrowing strategies, and basic narrowing is known to be incomplete for B = AC. In this work we ask and answer the question: Is there such a thing as an extremely terminating narrowing strategy modulo B? where we call a narrowing strategy S enjoying appropriate completeness properties extremel...

Yeast cytokinesis entails a rejuvenation process by which the aged mother cell generates daughter cells enjoying full replicative potential. Here we show that this process includes a precipitous reduction in the levels of reactive oxygen species in the progeny immediately after completion of cytokinesis. The reduction in hydrogen peroxide is the result of a Sir2p and actin cytoskeleton-dependen...

Qualitative research methods are enjoying unprecedented popularity. Although checklists have undoubtedly contributed to the wider acceptance of such methods, these can be counterproductive if used prescriptively. The uncritical adoption of a range of “technical fixes” (such as purposive sampling, grounded theory, multiple coding, triangulation, and respondent validation) does not, in itself, co...
