In 1974 a survey revealed that in Northern Ireland no medically supervised organisation existed to cater for individuals seeking help to stop smoking (Scot...

The water wave generation by wave paddle and a freely falling rigid body are examined by using an Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH). In the current ISPH method, the pressure was evaluated by solving pressure Poisson equation using a semi-implicit algorithm based on the projection scheme and the source term of pressure Poisson equation contains both of divergence free velocit...

Short stature is one of the major components of many dysmorphic syndromes. Growth failure may be due to a wide variety of mechanisms, either related to the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor axis or to underlying unknown pathologies. In this review, the relatively more frequently seen syndromes with short stature (Noonan syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Silver-Russell syndrome and A...

During the three weeks of our stay we never lost that sense of wonder and strange beauty. At the invitation of Dr. Lambo, who made a memorable contribution to the N.A.M.H. Annual Conference in 1960, Lady Norman and I flew out to attend the first Pan ...

This is a condensed and non-technical summary of a large-scale research project. Detailed findings can be found in the following 1998 IEE working papers: "Inequality and Mobility: Trends in Wage Growth for Young Adults," IEE Working Paper #7, and "Trends in Job Instability and Wages for Young Adult Men," IEE Working Paper #8. Annette Bernhardt and Marc Scott are senior research associates at th...
