Studiar av genusendring i norsk har jamt over brukt mykje plass på inventaret kategorien «ubestemt artikkel», som fleire stader viser teikn til å skrøkke frå tre to typar. I dei fleste samanhengar vert typane refererte ein (m.), ei (f.) og eit (n.). Faktiske realiseringar er subsumerte under desse typane, kan vere avgjerande jakta endringsforklaringar. Denne artikkelen undersøkjer korleis hokjø...

Hawksbill sea turtles Eretmochelys imbricata are found extensively around the world, including the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans; the Persian Gulf, and the Red and Mediterranean Seas. Populations of this species are affected by international trafficking of their shields, meat, and eggs, making it a critically endangered animal. We determined the haplotypes of 17 hawksbill foraging turtle...

A dysfunction in the processing of emotional material has been suggested to underpin the concept of psychopathy, hence we hypothesized that individuals high in psychopathic traits should have low scores on measure of emotional intelligence (EI). We measured EI by using both an ability-based measure (Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test) and a self-report measure (Trait Meta-Mood Sca...

BACKGROUND The management of emotions in the workplace is a skill related to the ability to demonstrate empathic behaviour towards patients; to manage emotional reactions in oneself and to lead others as part of a team. This ability has been defined as emotional intelligence (EI) and doctor's EI may be related to communication skills and to patient satisfaction levels. This study reports on the...

BACKGROUND Estimates of energy intake (EI) in humans have limited validity. OBJECTIVE The objective was to test the accuracy and precision of the intake-balance method to estimate EI during weight gain induced by overfeeding. DESIGN In 2 studies of controlled overfeeding (1 inpatient study and 1 outpatient study), baseline energy requirements were determined by a doubly labeled water study ...

Emotional intelligence (EI) has attracted considerable interest amongst both individual differences researchers and those in other areas of psychology who are interested in how EI relates to criteria such as well-being and career success. Both trait (self-report) and ability EI measures have been developed; the focus of this paper is on ability EI. The associations of two new ability EI tests w...

OBJECTIVE This purpose of this study was to describe differences in early intervention (EI) participation according to state among a cohort of young children with parent-reported developmental delays and disabilities. METHODS Data were obtained from the 2005-2006 National Survey of Children With Special Health Care Needs to describe state differences in EI participation. Multilevel modeling w...

Here Ei are subsets of a probability space Ω (typically a finite set), and E i = Ω \ Ei denotes the complementary event for each i. If ∑ i P[Ei] < 1, then the above inequality clearly follows, by the “union bound”. However, this is often not a strong enough tool, since the sum ∑ i P[Ei] may be much larger than 1 even if the events can be avoided. A weaker constraint on the individual probabilit...

Microcompression tests were performed on the Al/Nb multilayers of incoherent interfaces with the layer thicknesses of 5 nm Al/5 nm Nb and 50 nm Al/50 nm Nb. The Al-Nb multilayers showed increase in strength as the layer thickness was reduced; the average flow stresses at 5% plastic strain from the 5 nm Al/5 nm Nb and 50 nm Al/50 nm Nb layer thickness specimens were determined to be 2.1 GPa and ...
