We report the presence of Indian Giant Flying Squirrel Petaurista philippensis Elliot, 1839 in Badrama Wildlife Sanctuary, a first record to Odisha. The species was identified through direct sighting and photo capture. also observed feeding behaviour flying squirrels on Tamarind Sal trees sanctuary.

We have no satisfactory capacity formula for most channels with finite states. Here, we consider some interesting examples of finite state channels, such as Gilbert-Elliot channel, trapdoor channel, etc., to reveal special characters of problems and difficulties to determine the capacities. Meanwhile, we give a simple expression of the capacity formula for Gilbert-Elliot channel by using a hidd...

Roughly, psychological egoism is the thesis that all of a person's intentional actions are ultimately self-interested in some sense; psychological altruism is the thesis that some people's intentional actions are ultimately otherregarding in some sense. C. Daniel Batson and other social psychologists have argued that there are experiments that provide support for a theory called the ―empathy-al...

-The effect of alcohol drinking in raising blood pressure (BP) is rapidly reversible. However, there is only limited information on the effect of binge drinking on BP values. In this study, 20 healthy men who were all social drinkers drank alcohol (2.2 g/kg) in controlled circumstances on a Saturday evening. Ambulatory BP measurement (ABPM) values were compared with ABPM values of the same subj...

AIMS Recent models have proposed several pharmacological means by which alcohol may produce heightened aggression, among them that alcohol may both hyper-arouse the reward system and diminish the threat detection system. The current study examined these hypotheses employing heart rate and blood pressure as physiological indices of arousal, examining whether arousal differed by alcohol group, an...

INTRODUCTION The objective of the paper was the presentation of observations and conclusions based on the review of autopsy records collected at the Department of Forensic Medicine, Medical University of Białystok in the years 2004-2006. MATERIAL AND METHODS The criteria under evaluation included sex, age, alcohol level, carboxyhemoglobin concentration and site of poisoning. The COHb level wa...
