We re-analyse the implications of the DAMA/NaI experiment for mirror matter-type dark matter, taking into account information from the energy dependence of the DAMA annual modulation signal. This is combined with the null results from the CDMS experiment, leading to fairly well defined allowed regions of parameter space. The allowed regions of parameter space will be probed in the near future b...

In the Doñana National Park (SW Spain) female fallow deer (Dama dama ) give birth during the first fortnight of June, the next breeding season starting at the beginning of October. Between these two events the most important part of lactation takes place. Daily observations were made during the summer of 1984 and 1985. The population studied was made up of fourteen mother-young pairs that we we...

BACKGROUND Lévy flights are random walks, the step lengths of which come from probability distributions with heavy power-law tails, such that clusters of short steps are connected by rare long steps. Lévy walks maximise search efficiency of mobile foragers. Recently, several studies raised some concerns about the reliability of the statistical analysis used in previous analyses. Further, it is ...

The bioactive compounds, as well as the in vitro antioxidant activity of two Savoy cabbage cultivars, Dama and Leticia, grown in west of Spain under similar conditions were identified, quantified a...

background and objectives: discharge against medical advice (dama) is a significant healthcare problem posing negative impact on effectiveness of patient care and costs of the health system. in order to address this problem, first the potential influencing factor should be identifies. this study followed two major objectives: first, to evaluate the prevalence and potential causes of dama, and s...

Background Incomplete hospitalization is the cause of disease relapse, readmission, and increase in medical costs. Discharge Against Medical Advice (DAMA) in emergency department (ED) is critical for hospitals. This paper aims to explore the underlying reasons behind DAMA in ED of four teaching hospitals in Kerman, Iran.   Methods This was a cross-sectional study in which the samples were drawn...
