Individuals are now often presented information about greenhouse gases in their everyday life. However, there seems to be a gap between this increase in the exposure to carbon dioxide information and the understanding of how to interpret it, making behavioral change difficult. This article presents examples of how different applications have dealt with this problem by representing the carbon di...

Is a concept of either reversibility or of hierarchical forms of combination necessary for skilled seriation? We examined this question by presenting seriating cups to adult capuchin monkeys and chimpanzees and to 11-, 16and 21-month-old children. Capuchins and chimpanzees consistently created seriated sets with five cups, and placed a sixth cup into a previously seriated set. Children of all t...

We analysed in-vivo migration and wear over a long period of all-polyethylene acetabular cups which had not been affected by mechanical loosening. The selection criteria of regular radiological follow-up, good clinical outcome (Charnley score of 5 or 6), continued walking without crutches and no radiological signs of loosening of the acetabular cups were fulfilled by 25 Charnley total hip arthr...

Introduction Wear studies of metal-on-metal (MOM) bearings in hip simulators have historically involved ‘custom’ acetabular cups, i.e. having neither beaded layers nor biological coatings [1]. Such custom designs improve the accuracy of the gravimetric wear assessments. However, it is not always feasible to obtain custom cups for various reasons. Thus, another possibility would be to machine of...

For some patients, compassionate use programmes (CUPs) are the only way to access promising medicinal products that are not yet authorized and for which clinical trials are either not available or in which these patients cannot participate. For such patients, the CUP benefits can be very important. Although an EU regulatory framework exists, there is no single, centralized EU-wide procedure for...

With the rapid technological advances and increasing human population, need for more production has emerged consumption increased accordingly. As a result of this consumption, garbage been generated. Environmental pollution caused by these garbages emerges as problem that people have to overcome both in Turkey world. Many studies conducted problem. Especially today, with development autonomous ...

Appropriate placement of the acetabular cup is an important determinant of implant stability and longevity. Malposition of acetabular cups negatively influences prosthesis survival and leads to an increased dislocation rate. The objective of the study was to determine the role of 3-dimensional templating in obtaining accurate acetabular component placement in total hip arthroplasty. In this com...

BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is an age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Coffee has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that have been shown to be inversely related to the mechanism of sarcopenia. While there have been some studies on the effect of coffee on sarcopenia in animals, studies on the topic in humans are rare. Therefore, we investigated this relationship in elderly Korean m...

BACKGROUND The use of human braincases as drinking cups and containers has extensive historic and ethnographic documentation, but archaeological examples are extremely rare. In the Upper Palaeolithic of western Europe, cut-marked and broken human bones are widespread in the Magdalenian (∼15 to 12,000 years BP) and skull-cup preparation is an element of this tradition. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here ...

Previous studies have shown that Fcgamma receptor (FcR)-mediated phagocytosis and macropinocytosis in macrophages consist of two dissociable activities: a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-independent extension of phagocytic cups and a PI3K-dependent contractile mechanism that closes phagosomes and ruffles into intracellular organelles. Here, we identify an additional contractile activity that p...
