Heliopsis longipes is an herbaceous plant found in Mexico. Heliopsis longipes is traditionally used for its analgesic and anesthetic properties. Plant extracts may represent a therapeutic advantage for the clinical treatment of pain. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to determine the possible antihyperalgesic effect produced by the Heliopsis longipes ethanolic extract (HLEE) in th...

This paper and its presentation at Complexity Science in Practice: Understanding & Acting to Improve Health and Healthcare (Plexus Institute, 2003) is a result of a structured conversation among public health leaders and human systems dynamics practitioners in Minnesota. The effort was supported by the Human Systems Dynamics Institute, which would like to express appreciation to the persons who...

[1] Comparison of model outputs with observations of the climate system forms an essential component of model assessment and is crucial for building our confidence in model predictions. Methods for undertaking this comparison are not always clearly justified and understood. Here we show that the popular approach of comparing the ensemble spread to a so-called “observationally-constrained pdf” c...

Competitive Scrabble players devote considerable time to studying words and practicing Scrabble-related skills (e.g., anagramming). This training is associated with extraordinary performance in lexical decision, the standard visual word recognition task (Hargreaves, Pexman, Zdrazilova & Sargious, 2012). In the present study we investigated the neural consequences of this lexical expertise. Usin...

The significance of rare, recessive genes occurring at a frequency that could be maintained by recurrent mutation alone is poorly understood. This paper presents the results of a genetic study and certain biochemical observations on a slowly migrating electrophoretic species of albumin which was found in the family of a 7-year-old boy suffering from the nephrotic syndrome. The gene controlling ...

Kuraklık, çeşitli sosyal ve çevresel etkileri olan en önemli doğal afetlerden biridir. Bu nedenle, kuraklığı izlemek için özellikle uygun bir indeks seçmek çok önemlidir. Standartlaştırılmış Yağış İndisi (SPI) Evapotranspirasyon (SPEI) kuraklık izlemede yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. çalışmada, yarı kurak özelliklere sahip Kırıkkale ilinde kuraklığın gelişimini özelliklerini incelemek amacıyla...
