When Coleridge began dictating his Biographia Literaria in 1815, he was at the same time becoming actively involved in a medico-philosophical controversy that was then drawing the attention of many medical men and philosophers in England. The fundamental issue behind the quarrel, a materialistic versus a vitalist theory of nature, was one Coleridge had argued in one form or another throughout h...

The development of male attributes such as external genitalia and secondary sexual characteristics is due to a hormone called testosterone produced in the testicles. This hormone is also responsible for the development and maintenance of muscle mass (Griggs et al., 1989), bone density, red blood cell counts (Bachman et al., 2014), supports sexual and reproductive function and contribute to a ma...

The overarching theme of the thesis is the investigation of extremal problems involving forbidden partially ordered sets (posets). In particular, we will be concerned with the function La(n, P ), defined to be the maximum number of sets we can take in the Boolean lattice 2[n] without introducing the relations of a poset P as containment relations among the sets. This function plays an analogous...

A new method in which ultrasonic interferometry is used to measure the pressure dependence of elastic constants and the density of solids has been applied to polycrystalline I{C1 to pressures of 36 kilobars. Simultaneous measurement of longitudinal and transverse wave velocities in a specimen of initial thickness of approximately 0.2 mm, compressed between two tungsten carbide anvils, yields th...

Twocases,afather and son, of recurrent cerebellarataxiain the same family are reported, suggestingafamilial trait for the dysfunction. In the older male the onset of each episode (30-90 min.) was signalled by dysarthria which then progressed towards gait ataxia; the son presented closely similar clinical symptoms. Physical examination and blood chemistry revealed no obvious neurological deficit...

In all the paper we work on a graphG with maximal degree∆. For a set of vertices S ⊂ V (G), the graph G\S is the graph induced by V (G)\S. The distance d(u, v) between two vertices u and v is the number of edges in the shortest path from u to v. We say that v is a d-neighbor of u if d(u, v) = d. Let Nd(v) be the set of d-neighbors of v. We will generally use the common term neighbor instead of ...

background and aim: carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless gas. in high concentrations, co is deadly poisonous and in low concentrations can cause fatigue, headache, dizziness and seizures. carbon monoxide has a high affinity to combines hemoglobin which can decrease oxygen capacity in blood. to address this problem, human body begins to produce red blood cells, this can increases blood visc...

The final goal of the “One Health” is control global health our planet with a multidisciplinary approach that involves knowledge for different disciplines. In near future, we could see in same team veterinarians, doctors, and environmental experts work together to guarantee one sustainable future all. Earth stands out known Universe its wealth water, biodiversity, living species, including huma...

We sampled characteristics of vegetation and estimated abundances of bird species on 23 plots representing a continuum of tree densities of the blue oak phase of the Coast Range foothill woodland near Hopland, California. Fifty-one bird species were found breeding. Cavity-nesters dominated the bird community in number of species and individuals. Cavitynesters used a variety of tree species for ...
