The impacts of international emigration and remittances on incomes and poverty in sending areas are increasingly studied with household survey data. But comparing households with and without emigrants is complicated by a triple-selectivity problem: first, households self-select into emigration; second, in some emigrant households everyone moves while others leave members behind; and third, some...

Renal blood flow was elevated in convalescent burn patients shortly before discharge (992 +/- 112 mL/min/sq m in burn patients vs 551 +/- 37 mL/min/sq m in normal subjects; mean +/- SE). Autopsy studies demonstrated that renal enlargement was a constant feature of patients after a prolonged hospital course; the kidneys of 28 patients who died after 60 days of hospitalization weighed 241 +/- 10 ...

Intrapersonal competencies form the foundation of one’s development, and they are fundamental qualities of leadership competences. Four types of intelligence are highlighted in the literature of positive psychology: intelligence quotient (IQ), emotional intelligence quotient (EQ), adversity quotient (AQ) and spiritual intelligence quotient (SQ). It is argued that these competences are important...

We consider the semiclassical approximation to the spectral form factor K(τ) for twodimensional uniformly hyperbolic systems, and derive the first off-diagonal correction for small τ . The result agrees with the τ -term of the form factor for the GOE random matrix ensemble. PACS numbers: 03.65.Sq Semiclassical theories and applications. 05.45.Mt Semiclassical chaos (“quantum chaos”). 1 E-mail: ...

In [12] Quackenbush has expected that there should be subdirectly irreducible Steiner quasigroups (squags), whose proper homomorphic images are entropic (medial). The smallest interesting cardinality for such squags is 21. Using the tripling construction given in [1] we construct all possible nonsimple subdirectly irreducible squags of cardinality 21 (SQ(21)s). Consequently, we may say that the...

Murine leukemic lymphoblasts L5178Y-R (LY-R) undergo con version into their L5178Y-S (LY-S) variant as a result of pro longed (5 months to 4 years) cultivation in vitro. LY-R cells are highly tumorigenic in DBA/2 mice; resistant to X-rays [D0 (mean lethal dose [reciprocal of the slope of the linear portion of dosesurvival curve]) = 0.91 grays]; and sensitive to ultraviolet radia tion (D0 = 0.7 ...

Murine leukemic lymphoblasts L5178Y-R (LY-R) undergo conversion into their L5178Y-S (LY-S) variant as a result of prolonged (5 months to 4 years) cultivation in vitro. LY-R cells are highly tumorigenic in DBA/2 mice; resistant to X-rays [D0 (mean lethal dose [reciprocal of the slope of the linear portion of dose-survival curve] ) = 0.91 grays]; and sensitive to ultraviolet radiation (D0 = 0.7 J...

objectives: early maladaptive schemas are valid representations of unpleasant childhood experiences that shape a person’s viewpoints of the world, and lead to clinical symptoms such as depression, personality disorders, and substance abuse. given the importance of this matter, we conducted a research on early maladaptive schemas in substance-abusers, to allow more appropriate preventive measure...

in islam, there is special emphesize about the effect of spirituality on humans’ physical and psychological health. one of the very new construct in spirituality is spiritual capital and other is spiritual wellbeing. current research was carried out with the aim of construction spiritual capital and well being scales. sample group was 294 people, which selected through simple random sampling.­ ...

Sulfoquinovose (SQ, 6-deoxy-6-sulfoglucose) was synthesized chemically. An HPLC-ELSD method to separate SQ and other chromophore-free sulfonates, e.g. 2,3-dihydroxypropane-1-sulfonate (DHPS), was developed. A set of 10 genome-sequenced, sulfonate-utilizing bacteria did not utilize SQ, but an isolate, Pseudomonas putida SQ1, from an enrichment culture did so. The molar growth yield with SQ was h...
