The generalization of the BFKL equation for the case of non-forward scattering is considered. The kernel of the generalized equation in the nextto-leading approximation is expressed in terms of the gluon Regge trajectory and the effective vertices for particle production in Reggeon collisions. The “bootstrap” equations for the gluon Reggeization are presented. Work supported in part by the Mini...

The major goal of ecological evolutionary developmental biology, also known as "eco-evo-devo," is to uncover the rules that underlie the interactions between an organism's environment, genes, and development and to incorporate these rules into evolutionary theory. In this chapter, we discuss some key and emerging concepts within eco-evo-devo. These concepts show that the environment is a source...

Improved tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics are required. Induced sputum sampling is superior to spontaneous sputum analysis for diagnosis of pulmonary TB. Therefore, we examined the applicability of induced sputum in primary health centers of the Peruvian TB program and studied the safety and tolerability of this procedure. We show that induced sputum is safe, inexpensive, and well-tolerated in a r...

INTRODUCTION On 8 June 2017, the Supreme Court in the United Kingdom rejected a legal appeal in the high-profile case of Charlie Gard, a British infant with a severe genetic disorder whose parents had disagreed with medical professionals and were requesting treatment that the doctors believed was futile. The case was the latest in a series of UK legal cases where courts have authorized withdraw...

a week. The author recommends a dose of up to 4 grains intravenously, and also mentions a few cases of influenzal broncho-pneumonia treated with iodine given intravenously in saline solution. Normal saline is undoubtedly a better diluent than simple water inasmuch as it counteracts the irritation caused by nascent iodine. With this diluent I gave several injections into my left dorsal radial ve...

English Abstract The research aims at highlighting, through the application of appropriate statistical techniques, any possible differences in the results achieved by three distinct groups of students attendees, e-learners and non-attendees – formed at the beginning of the course according to their own personal choice. Italian Abstract L'obiettivo della ricerca consiste nell'evidenziare, attrav...
