We discuss expectations of saturation physics for various observables in heavy ion collisions. We show how simple saturation-inspired assumptions about particle production in heavy ion collisions lead to Kharzeev-Levin-Nardi model. Comparing this model to RHIC data on particle multiplicities we conclude that saturation effects may play an important role in particle production and dynamics at th...

BACKGROUND Ponticulus posticus (PP) is an abnormal bony bridge on the atlas. It plays a significant role in patients undergoing C1 lateral mass screw procedure. Patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) have higher risk than patients in general population for the appearance of cervical vertebral anomalies. The purpose of the this study was twofold: to determine the prevalence and characteristics...

A paper by D. M. Krikler points out that when graphic techniques such as sphygmography were first introduced, they were not applied at once to cardiac irregularities. Of crucial importance was the invention ofa practical form ofelectrocardiogram. A major role was played by men at University College Hospital, e.g. Lewis, Cushny, and Starling. Arthur Hollman's history of bundle branch block appro...

COGNITIVE DISSONANCE CHALLENGES A POSSIBILITY OF HUMAN EVOLUTION Cognitive dissonance (CD) is a discomfort caused by holding conflicting elements of knowledge. CD is among “the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology” (e.g., Alfnes et al., 2010, p. 147). It is well known that this discomfort is usually resolved by devaluing and discarding a conflicting piece of kn...

Hydroxyapatite is the major mineral component of human bones. From the point of view of its chemistry, it is calcium orthophosphate which has in its structure hydroxyl groups and in its stoichiometric is described with formula – Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. Biological properties of hydroxyapatite are very favorable; it is not only biocompatible (which means that after implantation it causes no side effects...

The field of psychology has a long history of interaction with education, and educational psychology has had a profound impact on how issues of learning have been framed and studied in educational contexts. Still, it has never been simple to translate theoretical insights into educational practice. Educational psychology has been criticized for not creating “usable knowledge” (Lagemann, 2002). ...

The clinical features of the multiple pterygium syndrome are multiple congenital joint contractures, multiple skin webs, camptodactyly, vertebral anomalies, short stature, ptosis, and antimongoloid eye slant. We present 11 new cases to show the evolution of the full phenotype from birth and to confirm autosomal recessive inheritance. We emphasise morbidity secondary to respiratory impairment an...

STUDY DESIGN The authors conducted a retrospective study involving description of a new surgical technique. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to describe and evaluate the efficacy of a new technique to stabilize the spine of young and small patients with congenital scoliosis after lumbosacral hemivertebra excision. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Congenital scoliosis develops as the res...

Diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar were fed high-protein, phosphorus-rich diets (56-60% protein; ca 18g phosphorus kg-1 diet) whilst being reared at low temperature from start-feeding until parr-smolt transformation. Performances of salmon fed diets based on fish meal (STD) or a mix of fishmeal and hydrolysed fish proteins (HFM) as the major protein sources were compared in terms...
