Reid, I. S. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 952. Biliary tract abnormalities associated with duodenal atresia. The embryology of the duodenum and biliary tracts makes understandable those developmental abnormalities of the biliary tract that occur in association with duodenal atresia. In a series of 167 patients with intrinsic duodenal obstruction, a number also showed anomalies o...

Trichomoniasis, caused by the parasitic protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis, is the most common non-viral sexually-transmitted disease, and there can be severe complications from trichomoniasis. Antibiotic resistance in T. vaginalis is increasing, but there are currently no alternatives treatment options. There is a need to discover and develop new chemotherapeutic alternatives. Plant-derived natur...

Bergmann's rule is a widely-accepted biogeographic rule stating that individuals within a species are smaller in warmer environments. While there are many single-species studies and integrative reviews documenting this pattern, a data-intensive approach has not been used yet to determine the generality of this pattern. We assessed the strength and direction of the intraspecific relationship bet...

While previous research has demonstrated cross-national differences in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), most studies to date have taken place in North America. The present study investigated the prevalence and characteristics of NSSI in a sample of 952 Jordanian adolescents (49.8% female) between the ages of 11-19 years. Participants completed a screening measure to assess occurrence of NSSI an...

We present new precision radial velocities and a three-planet Keplerian orbit fit for the V = 8.5, G5 V star HIP 14810. We began observing this star at Keck Observatory as part of the N2K Planet Search Project. Wright et al. (2007) announced the inner two planets to this system, and subsequent observations have revealed the outer planet planet and the proper orbital solution for the middle plan...

Firewood is still a major source of household energy in most parts the world, including Brazil. This study establishes baseline fuelwood consumption for domestic cooking by rural families Bahia, Brazil, as part socioenvironmental project centered on stove substitution. The project, titled “Fogão do Mar” (Seaside Stove), engaged adopting more efficient stoves to replace traditional open-air, rud...

Abstract This paper investigates the structure of Post-Critical Belief Scale (PCBS), which was designed by Hutsebaut (1996) to assess attitudes towards religion according Wulff’s (1991) model. Existing results suggest ambiguous solutions, with two, three, or four factors, when only four-factor solution is consistent theoretical In current study, we examined whether this hypothesized model indee...

On June 16, 2020, the German government issued a coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) contact-tracing app whose privacy settings were fiercely debated in advance. Contrary, potential benefits regarding acceleration of contact tracing advertised. This study investigated relative importance concerns and perceived relation to decision use adopting calculus perspective extended by trust technological ...
