Intraspecific variation in avian thermoregulatory responses to heat stress has received little attention, despite increasing evidence that endothermic animals show considerable physiological variation among populations. We investigated seasonal (summer versus winter) variation in heat tolerance and evaporative cooling in an Afrotropical ploceid passerine, the white-browed sparrow-weaver (Plocep...
Recent research has shown that landscape-level changes, namely habitat loss and fragmentation, can play an important role in determining the distribution of species across a variety of ecological systems. However, the influence of these large-scale factors in relation to small-scale factors, such as local vegetation structure or composition, is poorly understood. We used Bachman’s Sparrow (Peuc...
BACKGROUND Currently the standard femoral cementing technique requires cement injection gun to deliver bone cement into the femoral canal. The standard cement gun is expensive and must be imported. There is no previous study about the use of a household caulking gun for femoral cementation. OBJECTIVE To compare the radiographic quality of cementing technique in proximal femur between using st...

The popular stereotypes surrounding various types of hacking and computing addiction (e.g. Turkle, 1995) indicate that ‘addicts’ tend to be socially unskilled male teenagers who have little or no social life and/or self-confidence. Recent surveys have confirmed that a vast majority of Internet users are in fact male. A survey by Pitkow and Kehoe (1996) indicated that 32% of users access the Int...
BACKGROUND Gun theft is an important source of guns used by criminals. Yet no empirical work has focused on the characteristics of gun owners that distinguish those who have had their guns stolen from those who have not. In this study, we examine the demographics and behavioral characteristics of gun owners who report having had a gun stolen. METHODS Data come from a nationally representative...
Editor’s note: One in three U.S. households contains at least one firearm. Gun owners cite two main reasons for having a gun: hunting and self-protection. A majority of handgun owners believe that they are protecting their homes and families against violent assaults. But in a country where the majority of homicides and suicides involve a gun, it is reasonable to question whether access to a gun...
