Do young children form "referential pacts"? If a person has referred to an object with a certain term (e.g., the horse), will children expect this person to use this term in the future but allow others to use a different expression (e.g., the pony)? One hundred twenty-eight children between 3 and 5 years old co-operated with an experimenter (E1) to move toys to new locations on a shelf. E1 esta...

Fifty eight children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis who were referred to this hospital between 1980 and 1987 were studied. Fourteen had single system disease, and 44 had multisystem disease, of whom 22 had vital organ dysfunction. A conservative approach to treatment was adopted, and when systemic treatment was indicated a short course of prednisolone was used first. Eight of the patients w...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength to sound and caries-affected dentin using single bond and adper prompt-l-pop adhesives. materials and methods: sixteen extracted human molars with carious lesions extended halfway through dentin were ground to expose the caries affected and the surrounding normal dentin. the samples were divided into two groups of e...

Background/aim: Surgical repair techniques and management of patients with atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) have progressed over the last few decades. Early definitive interventions become choice treatment for these patients. Based on this background, we aimed to review early mid-term outcomes primary AVSD repair. Methods: A total 53 a mean age 3.45 ± 5.67 years underwent between January 2...

Green’s Theorem is another higher dimensional analogue of the fundamental theorem of calculus: it relates the line integral of a vector field around a plane curve to a double integral of “the derivative” of the vector field in the interior of the curve. It admits two different but completely equivalent formulations, a “flux” version for normal line integrals and a “circulation” version for tang...
