Ellis-van Creveld syndrome also known as chondroectodermal dysplasia or mesoectodermal dysplasia; a rare genetic disorder of the skeletal dysplasia. 'Six-fingered dwarfism' (digital integer deficiency) was an alternative designation used for this condition when it was being studied in the Amish. It is characterized by short-limb dwarfism, polydactyly, malformation of the bones of the wrist, dys...

In boys precocious puberty is defined as the development of secondary sexual characters before 9 year of age. In girls, the development of breasts (thelarche) before 7.5 year, the development of pubic hairs (pubarche) before 8.5 year or menarche before the age of 9.5 year is considered precocious [1]. Hypothyroidism is usually associated with delayed puberty and rarely with precocious puberty [...

6 T. Takagi, "Ueber das ReciprocitAtsgesetz in einem beliebigen algebraischen Zahlkorper," J. Coll. Science, Tokyo Imp. Univ., 44, 26 (1922), Satz 11. I For 1 = 3, this is exemplified by the cases p = 109 and 127. For l = 5 an example is p = 61051. We have not determined the smallest prime of the latter type. 8 E.

In two dimensions the noninteracting density of states displays a van Hove singularity (VHS) which introduces an intrinsic electron-hole asymmetry, absent in three dimensions. We show that due to this VHS the strong-coupling analysis of tunneling spectra in high-Tc superconductors must be reconsidered. Based on a microscopic model which reproduces the experimental data with excellent accuracy, ...
