disease are much less likely than men with HIV to receive potentially lifeprolonging drugs even though they have private health insurance that would help pay for the drugs, according to a recent study from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Fred J. Hellinger, Ph.D., and William E. Encinosa, Ph.D., of AHRQ’s Center for Delivery, Organization, and Markets, found that only 39 percent ...

Main aim of this paper is to present the information regarding the present lighting system and to explain how solid-state lighting (SSL) can stimulate the development of the science and technology and how electricity can be saved with this energy saving, energy efficient green technology. Various methods to generate white light, advantages and key challenges are outlined in this paper. Thus if ...

Evolutionary biologists have developed an excellent understanding of the selective factors that shape the way in which a given organism allocates resources to male and female offspring•a process called sex allocation (1_). Studies of sex allocation have provided explanations for a wide range of phenomena•for example, the variation among animals in the proportion of offspring that are male (sex ...

This is a (moderately long) book-length discussion of a problem that exercised the fathers of Analytic Philosophy, following a distinguished tradition in fact traceable to Plato’s later dialogues, the Parmenides and the Sophist. It is a problem that is not often discussed these days (but see King 2007, whose views are not explicitly discussed in this book – curiously, for a work otherwise as sc...

Blockade of the histamine H(3) receptor (H(3)R) enhances central neurotransmitter release, making it an attractive target for the treatment of cognitive disorders. Here, we present in vitro and in vivo pharmacological profiles for the H(3)R antagonist 2-[4'-((3aR,6aR)-5-methyl-hexahydro-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyrrol-1-yl)-biphenyl-4-yl]-2H-pyridazin-3-one (ABT-288). ABT-288 is a competitive antagonist w...

We present NICMOS NIC3 observations of the Galactic globular cluster NGC288, taken South East at 2.4 times the cluster’s half-light radius in the J and H bands. We have detected the cluster main sequence down to J ≃ 25 and H ≃ 24. The corresponding luminosity function covers the range 3 < MH < 9 and peaks at MH ≃ 6.8. The theoretical tracks of Baraffe et al. (1997) at [Fe/H ] = −1.3 give a mass...
