A nurse who claims her 'excessive pillow plumping' led to an unfair police record has won a landmark court ruling.

This study aims to confirm the effects of a neck pillow on postural stability head and variance center mass in sitting position. Experiments were conducted keeping posture at rest with without use two types pillows; wrap front pillow. During experiments, whole body was recorded by motion capture system. Differences head-and-neck resting position statistically compared among conditions. As resul...

Recycled subducted ocean crust has been traced by elevated 187Os/188Os in some studies and by high nickel and low manganese contents in others. Here, we show that these tracers are linked for Quaternary lavas of Iceland, strengthening the recycling model. An estimate of the osmium isotopic composition of both the recycled crust and the mantle peridotite implies that Icelandic Quaternary lavas a...

INTRODUCTION Observational studies report inverse associations between the use of feather upper bedding (pillow and/or quilt) and asthma symptoms but there is no randomised controlled trial (RCT) evidence assessing the role of feather upper bedding as a secondary prevention measure. OBJECTIVE To determine whether, among children not using feather upper bedding, a new feather pillow and feathe...

We report the oxygen isotope composition of olivine and orthopyroxene phenocrysts in lavas from the main magma types at Mt Shasta and Medicine Lake Volcanoes: primitive high-alumina olivine tholeiite (HAOT), basaltic andesites (BA), primitive magnesian andesites (PMA), and dacites. The most primitive HAOT (MgO [ 9 wt%) from Mt. Shasta has olivine dO (dOOl) values of 5.9–6.1%, which are about 1%...

Smith, D. R. and Leeman, W. P., 1993. The origin of Mount St. Helens andesites. J. Volcanol. Geotherm. Res., 55: 271-303. Mount St. Helens volcano has intermittently produced mainly dacitic products but occasionally erupted a more diverse suite of lavas including basalts and andesites. Petrogenetic relations between these magmas provide insight into the dynamics of the subjacent magma system. M...

The Emperor Seamount-Hawaiian island chain is thought to originate from melting of a heterogeneous mantle plume, but the composition of the plume has always been inferred from the compositions of the erupted lavas. It has been suggested that recycled (i.e. previously subducted) basaltic oceanic crust (with or without sediments) is part of this plume and responsible for the enriched isotopic com...

Patient was able to stand and walk a little with help, but spent most of her time in a semirecumbent position, propped up with pillows. Could not rise without assistance, and had not been able to lie down without imminent risk and fear of suffocation for some time. / Her history showed that she had given birth to two children, one 16 years ago and the second 10 years later. For the past two yea...

We present evidence for a monitoring process in language perception at the word level, reflected by a P600. This P600 is triggered when a conflict evolves because the brain encounters an unexpected linguistic item when another item is highly expected. To resolve this conflict between representations, the brain monitors the input to check for possible processing errors. A P600 was hypothesized t...
