I n t e r v e n t i o n Women were allocated to conjugated estrogen, 0.625 mg/d, plus medroxyprogesterone acetate, 2.5 mg/d (n = 1380), or placebo (n = 1383) for 4.1 years. In the subsequent 2.7 years (during HERS II), 1156 women in the estrogen-plus-progestin group and 1165 women in the placebo group continued follow-up, and open-label hormone therapy was prescribed at the discretion of the wo...

Pump-enhanced continuous-wave optical parametric oscillators (PE cw-OPOs) are commercially available since 2000. Pumped at 1064 nm, signal and idler emission ranges of 1380-2000 nm and 2280-4670 nm are achieved without changing any optics. Narrow linewidths < 10 kHz have been demonstrated so far. A special resonator design offers improved frequency tuning qualities. PE cw-OPOs have been applied...

was from ours. Chapter 8 (1760-1850) sets death within the larger context of Enlightenment rationalism, romanticism and evangelicalism, whereas Chapter 7 (1660-1760) deals with perceptions of death in a changing political scene. Chapters 4 (1150-1380) and 6 (1558-1660) explore the association of secular and religious attitudes to death, while Chapter 5 (1380-1558) investigates the relationship ...
