The purpose of the present study is to determine the effects of gun control laws and gun ownership rates on state-level suicide rates. Using the most recent data on suicide rates, gun control measures, and gun ownership rates, the results of the present study suggest that states that require handgun permits have lower gun-related suicide rates, and states that have higher gun ownership rates ha...

The natural nighttime light environment of the earth has been significantly transformed by human activities. Such “light pollution” has a profound influence on ecosystems. Protected areas (PAs) play key ecological functions and are only effective at low light pollution levels or without any light pollution. In China, with rapid population growth and high urbanization rates, light pollution in P...

Abstract Recoil reduction is one of the most important issues for design aircraft gun. Traditional approaches this purpose will produce back-blast, which constitutes a hazard to fighter planes or attack helicopters. This paper presents closed type gas reflection device gun aiming reduce recoil force without ejecting propellant rearward. The launching process modeled by coupling classical interi...

Parturition time has been chosen to investigate whether a photoinducible phase exists during the light-dark cycle in the rat. A 1-hr light stimulation was given during the dark phase at various times after the beginning of the principal photoperiod or conventional dawn. The rats kept under 8 hrs of light and 16 hrs of darkness from mating (day 1 of pregnancy) gave birth to most of their pups on...
