The main issues in non-accelerator astroparticle physics are reviewed and discussed. A short description is given of the experimental methods, of many experiments and of their experimental results.

CONTEXT Humor therapy and the related mirthful laughter are suggested to have preventive and healing effects. Although these effects may be mediated by neuroendocrine/neuroimmune modulation, specific neuroimmune parameters have not been fully investigated. OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of mirthful laughter to modulate neuroimmune parameters in normal subjects. DESIGN A series of 5 sep...

Nineteen genera and groups of micro-organisms were isolated from the lower genital tract of 280 women at their first antenatal visit. Chlamydia, viruses, and T-strain mycoplasmas were not sought, and only routine methods of anaerobic culture were used. Growth was recorded as scanty, moderate or heavy. The population studied was grouped according to age, parity, gestational stage at booking, pre...

The CMDASH’07 team follows our past teams CMDash’06, CMDash’05, CMPack’04, CMPack’03, CMPack’02, CMPack’01, CMPack’00, CMTrio’99, and CMTrio’98 [5, 3, 7, 6]. We have continued our research into new ways of modeling the world and maintained our focus on robust behaviors and cooperation. In this paper, we provide an overview of the specific technical components in our team and focus in detail on ...

Chronic two-kidney, one clip (2K1C) renovascular hypertension is characterized by a largely angiotensin-independent elevated blood pressure (BP). We hypothesized that the long-term effect of hypertension would compromise endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) and diminish its influence in controlling renal perfusion. We determined the influence of endothelium-derived NO on renal hemodynamics and...

Role of dietary fibre in lowering serum cholesterol has been studied in mongrel dogs. Pectin, wheat bra, guar gum and Isabghol were fed with standard diet. No statistically significant changes were found in serum cholesterol levels in any groug (P greater than .05) after one week. Later by 15th day, pectin reduced serum cholesterol significantly i.e. 12.4% (P less than .02). However, in groups ...

Theory suggests that people’s work experiences influence their self-esteem and, vice versa, influences experiences. This meta-analysis of longitudinal studies synthesizes the available evidence on prospective effects between and self-esteem, controlling for prior levels outcomes. The following variables were examined: job satisfaction, success, income, resources, stressors, employment status. a...
