The 31 species of Microctonus Wesmael that occur in North America are taxonomically treated. Six are described as new: M. cappilicrus, M. gouleti, M. passi, M. portalensis, M. rotundatus, and M. sharkeyi. Microctonus zimmermanni Loan is considered a junior synonym of M. brevipetiolatus (Thomson) and M. barri Loan is considered a junior synonym of M. muesebecki Loan. The European Perilitus altic...

It was conjectured by H. Zassenhaus that a torsion unit of an integral group ring of a finite group is conjugate to a group element within the rational group algebra. The object of this note is the computational aspect of a method developed by I. S. Luthar and I. B. S. Passi which sometimes permits an answer to this conjecture. We illustrate the method on certain explicit examples. We prove wit...

A printed microstrip window antenna is proposed in this paper. The window antenna is obtained by perforating a con entional microstrip patch antenna into a window-like geometry. This perforation not only induces a size reduction of more than 50%, but also makes it possible for antenna and RF circuits to be integrated into a unified subsystem by embedding passi e and acti e circuits into the win...

Abstract Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the major causes death worldwide. Previous research reported differences in screening adherence both by gender and socioeconomic determinants. However, little known about extent to which Health Literacy (HL) may affect CRC rates. Here, we aimed assess HL levels genders their relations with adherence. Methods The study was performed within ...
