The present study examines the prevalence of women who continue to have vaginal intercourse (VIC) despite pain, avoid telling the partner, and feign enjoyment. It also considers the reasons for this behavior. A sample of 1566 female senior high school students (aged 18-22 years) completed a questionnaire concerning their experiences and attitudes toward their body and sexuality. Forty-seven per...

OBJECTIVES To determine the proportion of patients with established coronary heart disease (CHD) in two Australian studies (VIC-I in 1996-1998, and VIC-II in 1999-2000) who achieved their risk-factor targets as recommended by the National Heart Foundation of Australia, and to compare this proportion with those in studies from the United Kingdom (ASPIRE), Europe (EUROASPIRE I and II) and the Uni...

A grid network version of the two-layer Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC-2L) macroscale hydrological model is described. The VIC-2L model is a hydrologically-based SVAT (Soil Vegetation Atmospheric Transfer) scheme designed to represent the land surface in numerical weather prediction and climate models. It is coupled to a linear routing scheme which is optimized with measured precipitation ...

A recently published paper by Roads et al (2003) describing the GCIP Water and Energy Balance Synthesis (WEBS) showed that the Variable Infiltration Capacity model (VIC) model under-simulates “observations” of net solar radiation by an average of 50 w/m in the summer months of 19961999 over the Mississippi basin. The net solar radiation “observations” used by Roads et al (2003) are a GOES-based...
