The aim of the work was to identify characteristics of pregnant women cared for by an obstetric nurse in a visit to the prenatal outpatient nursing service and compare these over the period from 1972 to 2009. Sociodemographic and obstetric data were collected from the forms completed by the pregnant patients during their visit to the nursing service. A total of 1245 forms were analyzed 208 (16....

The Survey for Transiting Extrasolar Planets in Stellar Systems (STEPSS) project is a search for planetary transits in open clusters. In this paper, we analyze the STEPSS observations of the open cluster NGC 1245 to determine the variable star content of the cluster. Out of 6787 stars observed with V < 22, of which ∼ 870 are cluster members, we find 14 stars with clear intrinsic variability tha...

Bu makalede, hadis usulü kaynaklarında çok sık olmasa da İbnü’s-Salâh’a (öl. 643/1245) itiraz bağlamında ismi geçen İbn Ebi’d-Dem’in 642/1244) ve Tedkîku’l-ʿınâye fî tahkîki’r-rivâye adlı kitabının Mukaddimetu İbni’s-Salâh ile olan ilişkisi ele alınmaktadır. Tedkîku’l-ʿınâye’nin intihal olduğu yönünde Şemsuddîn es-Sehâvî’nin 902/1497) iddiası eserin tahkik heyetinin kanaatinin örtüşmesi sebebiy...

An experiment is described which investigates the spatial determinants of the apparent difference in hue between the central grey patches of chromatic 'H' pattern pairs, an effect similar to that first demonstrated by Wright (1969, The Measurement of Colour, Hilger, London) in coloured gratings. The hue difference is shown to be analogous to the brightness difference in achromatic 'H' patterns ...

> < ABSTRACT: The intramolecular helix backbone C O H— N hydrogen Ž . bonding energies in poly L-alanine a helices have been estimated both in vacuum and in an aqueous environment using the parameter sets of five of the most commonly used force fields for modeling biomolecules, namely AMBER, CHARMM, ECEPP, GROMOS, and OPLS. The relative capabilities of these force fields in describing the H-bon...

A total of 1245 women had a copper 7 intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) inserted in 1971-3 were followed up for three years (22 761-5 women months of use). After 24 months 483 women elected to continue with the same copper 7 (continuation group), and 183 had their copper 7 replaced with a new one (replacement group). The subsequent pregnancy and expulsion rates were both significantly lowe...

Crystals of the title compound, {(C(6)H(5)C(2)H(4)NH(3))(2)[PbBr(4)]}(n), were grown at room temperature from a solution in N,N-dimethyl-formamide (DMF) using nitro-methane as the poor solvent. This perovskite-type organic-inorganic hybrid compound consists of well ordered sheets of corner-sharing disordered PbBr(6) octa-hedra separated by bilayers of phenethyl-ammonium cations. The octa-hedra ...

Dissolving lithium chloride and aluminium chloride in boiling para- or meta-xylene and keeping the colourless solution at room temperature led to crystal growth of a new modification of lithium tetra-chlorido-aluminate, LiAlCl4, which represents a second modification (oP12, Pmn21) of the ternary salt besides the long known monoclinic form [LiAlCl4(mP24, P21/c); Mairesse et al. (1977 ▸). Cryst. ...

A considerable amount of information has been accumulated concerning the effect of various hypotensive agents on the pulmonary circulation. A detailed account on these observations was given recently by one of us (Halmagyi, 1957). Most of these studies were carried out in patients suffering from mitral stenosis. It was concluded that the increase of pulmonary vascular resistance in this disease...

Library writers wish to provide a guarantee not only that each procedure in the library performs correctly in isolation, but also that the procedures perform correctly when run in conjunction. To this end, we propose a method for static detection of deadlock in Java libraries. Our goal is to determine whether client code exists that may deadlock a library, and, if so, to enable the library writ...
