Authentication is a slippery security property that has been formally de/ned only recently; among the recent de/nitions, two rather interesting ones have been proposed for the spi-calculus by (Abadi and Gordon (in: Proc. CONCUR’97, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 1243, Springer, Berlin, 1997, pp. 59–73; Inform. and Comput. 148(1) (1999) 1–70) and for CSP by Lowe (in: Proc. 10th Computer...

Many researchers have implicated human population density in species endangerment, but these correlative studies do not demonstrate causality. We propose that hypotheses implicating human population density in wildlife endangerment at global and national scales owe their public and academic currency as thoroughly to inductive reasoning and repetition as to scientific experimentation. It follows...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Elevated serum calcium has been associated with increased mortality in dialysis patients, but it is unclear whether the same is true in non-dialysis-dependent (NDD) chronic kidney disease (CKD). Outcomes associated with low serum calcium are also not well-characterized. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We examined associations of baseline, time-varying, ...

GORDON, ALLEN R., AND MARION J. SIEGMAN. Mechanical properties of smooth muscle. I. Length-tension and force-velocity relations. Am. J. Physiol. 221 (5) : 1243-1249. 1971 .-The length-tension and force-velocity relationships of rabbit taenia coli were studied at 22 C. The absence of spontaneous mechanical activity at this temperature was confirmed by test applications of epinephrine. The muscle...

In the present study a recently conceived 4-gene marker panel covering the Wnt and Ras-Raf-MEK-MAPK signaling pathways was used to analyze 20 colorectal serrated lesions and 41 colorectal adenoma samples and to determine the percentage of each of the above-mentioned potentially precancerous lesions carrying at least one of the four above-mentioned genes in a mutated form. CTNNB1 and B-Raf were ...

Little is known about the job strain of staff working in disability institutions. This study investigated the staff's job strain profile and its determinants which included the worker characteristics and the psychosocial working environments in Taiwan. A cross-sectional study survey was carried out among 1243 workers by means of a self-answered questionnaire. The outcome variable (high-strain j...

BACKGROUND Although the typical age of onset for Huntington's disease (HD) is in the fourth decade, between 4.4-11.5% of individuals with HD have a late onset (over 60 years of age). Diagnosis of Late onset HD (LoHD) can be missed, due to the perceived low likelihood of HD in the over 60-year-olds. OBJECTIVE To review the epidemiology, genotype and phenotype of LoHD. METHODS We systematical...

Available studies offer only limited guidance on neuroimaging of non-acute headache patients. The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of significant intracranial lesions in patients with headache and to determine the clinical variables helpful in identifying patients with intracranial lesions. All patients aged >or= 15 years attending the Neurology Clinic with non-acute headache wer...
