We discuss recent experimental results in the field of ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions. The emerging “picture” is a collectively expanding, initially hot and dense fireball in which strangenessand low-mass di-lepton pair production are enhanced and J/Ψ production is suppressed compared to expectations from nucleon-nucleon collisions. It is argued that, taken together, these data provide c...

Germ cell tumours are the most frequent and important neoplasms at this site. They mainly affect young males and their incidence is steadily increasing in affluent societies. In several regions, including North America and Northern Europe, they have become the most common cancer in men aged 15 44. There is circumstantial epidimiological evidence that the steep increase in new cases is associate...

XML is rapidly emerging as a standard for data representation and exchange over the World Wide Web and an increasing amount of sensitive business data is processed in XML format. Therefore, it is critical to have control mechanisms to restrict a user to access only the parts of XML documents that she is authorized to access. In this paper, we propose the first DTD-based access control model tha...

K ava, (Piper methysticum Forst. f., ‘‘Intoxicating pepper’’), is a consciousness-changing muscle relaxant consumed in the Pacific islands and, since 1982, by indigenous Australians in eastern Arnhem Land (Northern Territory, NT) using dried powder imported from Fiji or Tonga. Very heavy use was widespread in Arnhem Land during the 1990s. Circumstantial evidence suggests that kava consumption i...

In the present study, we describe an interspecific kleptoparasitic interaction between two sympatric mammalian carnivores in high altitudinal Trans-Himalaya region of Himachal Pradesh, India. The study was based on inferences drawn from circumstantial evidence (direct and indirect) noticed area Pin Valley National Park. analysis suggested a Snow Leopard Panthera uncia, Red Fox Vulpes vulpes, do...

Circumstantial evidence is presented which indicates that Polyporus volvatus is parasitic. Cultures of Polyporus volvatus and Fomes igniarius may be obtained from the young sporophores by the tissue method. In Polyporus volvatus the presence of the following enzymes was demonstrated: esterase, maltase, lactase, sucrase, raffinase, diastase, inulase, cellulase, hemicellulase, glucosidase, rennet...

Callococcithrips gen.n. is erected for the species Rhynchothrips fuscipennis Moulton that lives only among the protective waxy secretions of an eriococcid on Kunzea in south-eastern Australia. Larvae and adults of this thrips move rapidly amongst the sticky wax strands, and their maxillary stylets are unusually long and convoluted. Circumstantial evidence suggests that the thrips is predatory o...

Evidence supporting the occurrence of starving larval fish in the ocean was mainly circumstantial (May, 1974; Jones and Hall, 1974: Lasker, 1975) until recently, when the presence of starving ocean-caught larval northern anchovy, Engraulis mordax, was documented using histological criteria (O'Connell, 1980). Subsequently, using similar criteria, Theilacker (1986) quantified starvation-induced m...
