The roads are places where an extensive amount of everyday meetings among people occur. Two issues make the social interaction meagre. First, when driving, high speed makes these encounters brief. Second, driving often involves being enclosed by a hull of a vehicle. Consequently, this interaction and, in the end, also driving, occasionally becomes tedious. We suggest a design rationale for mobi...

It is well known to generalize the meagre ideal replacing ℵ 0 by a (regular) cardinal λ > ℵ 0 and requiring the ideal to be λ +-complete. But can we generalize the null ideal? In terms of forcing, this means finding a forcing notion similar to the random real forcing, replacing ℵ 0 by λ, so requiring it to be (< λ)-complete. Of course, we would welcome additional properties generalizing the one...

Although web survey has been a popular method of data collection in the academic community, it presents meagre response rates, which primarily affect validity results as well reliability outcomes. Surveys worldwide that study rate only teachers have not found relevant literature. In this survey, with sample 263 Greek teachers, we investigate possible factors explain teachers’ intention to parti...

In the year 1485 Henry Tudor landed at Milford Haven with an army of foreign mercenaries, and, marching to Boswortli Field, defeated Richard III. on August 22. He made his triumphant entry into London on August 27, and brought with him in his train "one by no means a captive." A deadly sickness broke out in the capital on September 19, so that more than fifteen thousand persons were cut off by ...

Pakistan continues to struggle with low health literacy that often results in late presentation of disease, poor adherence to treatment and meagre understanding of wellness and disease prevention. In a country burdened by diseases of the developing and the developed world, with poor healthcare infrastructure and low literacy levels improving healthcare literacy could have major influence on hea...

A strong bar rotating within a massive halo should lose angular momentum to the halo through dynamical friction, as predicted by Weinberg. We have conducted fully self-consistent, numerical simulations of barred galaxy models with a live halo population and find that bars are indeed braked very rapidly. Specifically, we find that the bar slows sufficiently within a few rotation periods that the...

A hot, dry wind envelopes a statuesque woman as she kneels over wind-sifted trays of tinbearing pulverized ore in Uis, Namibia. In Bolivia, a nine-year old girl scrambles down a steep pit wall yet again to refill her bucket of metal-rich sand. And yet another woman stokes the fire in her wood burning stove in the Philippines, releasing the mercury from doré in a poorly ventilated kitchen; the t...

Service facilities for persons with severe mental retardation and multiple disabilities are meagre. The present study aims at analysing the problems of persons with severe mental retardation and multiple disabilities in terms of presenting complaints, previous consultations, aetiological factors and associated problems. Persons with severe mental retardation and multiple disabilities numbering ...

Sir Henry Savile, and Harvey) as the result of Venetian attitudes towards the Inquisition. This is an opportunity missed, for it is clear that the reputation of the university was not by itself always sufficient to attract students all the way from England. Nor was a Paduan degree in medicine always as attractive as most medical historians have assumed, for several years might elapse without th...

are sufficiently elaborate to admit of studj' independently of the text. The unique drawings by Miss Hirsch are particularly worthy of study, although, in the reviewer's opinion, sketches and drawings of this nature can never replace good reproductions of actual skiagrams. Owing to the method of presentation the accounts given of even some of the common diseases and procedures such as are conne...
