I argue that we should reject the sparse view that there are or could be only a small number of rather distinct senses. When one appreciates this then one can see that there is no need to choose between the standard criteria that have been proposed as ways of individuating the senses—representation, phenomenal character, proximal stimulus and sense organ—or any other criteria that one may deem ...

ecological studies based on field data have shown that vegetation phenology follows a relatively well-defined temporal pattern. this pattern, that is reflecting the cumulative temperature from the date of the beginning of the growth, can be represented by the use of a suitable model. due to the spatial, temporal, and ecological complexity of these processes a simple method to monitor phenologic...

The present study was designed to investigate the role of estrogen receptor and KATP channel in cardioprotective effect remote aortic preconditioning rat heart. Remote is a phenomenon which brief episodes ischemia reperfusion organs protect target organ against sustained ischemia/ induced injury. Protective effects are well established heart, but their mechanisms still remain be elucidated. rat...

The need for transplant organs has far outstripped the supply of available cadaveric organs. Hundreds of people on waiting lists, who could be saved by transplantation, die each year. This severe shortage has justified the extension of transplantation to the use of living donors, but there are still not enough organs to meet the need. This paper discusses the justification for changing policies...

The Organs and Inducements symposium originated from two developments: (1) the large and growing gap between kidney supply and need for people with end-stage renal disease and (2) the failure of recent policy and medical innovations to reverse that trend. The gap between kidney need and supply became visible after the United Network for Organ Sharing data system first went online in 1995 and ha...

objective: to assess the prevalence and practice of fertility regulation methods among remote ethiopian communities of the hamer district, southern ethiopia. materials and methods: community-based cross sectional study was conducted in hamer district of south regional state of ethiopia. the study populations were women of reproductive age group residing in the district and purposively identifie...

a knowledge of soil surface conditions, especially desert crust, salt crust and desert varnish is useful for improving classification of remotely sensed data. desert crust can generate high levels of reflectance, similar to those areas with high salt concentration and non-saline soil. therefore, soil surface crusts might bias thematic remote sensing of soils. in this study, we evaluated the eff...
