The parametric coupling between large amplitude magnetic field-aligned circularly polarized electromagnetic ion-cyclotron (EMIC) waves and ponderomotively driven ion-acoustic perturbations in magnetized space plasmas is considered. A cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the modulated EMIC wave envelope is derived, and then solved analytically. The modulated EMIC waves are found to be stable...

In 1969, a group of scientists concerned with the health hazards posed by environmental mutagens formed the Environmental Mutagen Society to encourage interest in and the study of mutagens in the human environment. In order to deal effectively with this potential health problem, these scientists saw the need for a centralized source of published information on chemicals tested for mutagenicity ...

Please cite this article in press as: Agar, M. M doi:10.1016/j.langcom.2010.05.001 The tension between ‘‘etic” and ‘‘emic,” between outsider and insider descriptions of language and culture, has been a leitmotif of anthropology since its beginning. This article revisits Goodenough’s original discussion of emic and etic as a bridge into translation studies, emphasizing recent anthropological and...

PURPOSE The Ministry of Health and Welfare recently designated 35 major trauma-specified centers (MTSC). The purpose of this study is to determine changes in patient flow and designated hospitals, and to describe the role of the emergency medical information center (EMIC) in a regional trauma care system. METHODS Data of trauma patient inter-facility transfer arrangement by one EMIC were revi...

A recent event study suggested a coupling process whereby suprathermal protons (10–100 eV), as result of perpendicular heating by pre-existing magnetosonic waves, can excite electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves with frequency near the local proton (f~0.95fcp). The present tests this process. First, one-dimensional hybrid (kinetic ions/massless fluid electrons) simulations parallel-propaga...

Four years ago Congress made the first appropriation for "medical, nursing, and hospital maternity and infant care for wives and infants of enlisted men in the armed forces of the United States of the fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh grades." The following month, April 1943, plans for the operation of the Emergency Maternity and Infant Care (EMIC) program were approved by the Children's Bureau ...

Background: The increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) correlates with the presence of atherosclerosis in adults and describes vascular abnormalities in both hypertensive children and adolescents. Objective: To assess CIMT as an early marker of atherosclerosis and vascular damage in hypertensive children and adolescents compared with non-hypertensive controls and to evaluate the infl...
