Whereas the tools to determine the eigenvalues of the eight-vertex transfer matrix T are well known there has been until recently incomplete knowledge about the eigenvectors of T . We describe the construction of eigenvectors of T corresponding to degenerate eigenvalues and discuss the related hidden elliptic symmetry.

Quantitative estimation of some constituents 0 blood has become a common practice in ^ ^nical medicine. In order to have a definite ea of the extent of the severity of the patholgical condition, standard values for the constituents estimated in normal human* blood are jssential. The values usually found in the textbooks refer to the Westerners, worked out by the *wkers of the West {e.g. Folin, ...

dent of the United St.ates, dances to raise funds for the organisation were held on his birthday, 30th January, in all parts of the country. An annual fund-raising appeal is conducted during the first weeks in January yearly called "The March of Dimes." Some seventy million individuals subscribe to this fund and in the current year the voluntary subscriptions totalled thirty million dollars. Du...

CONTEXT Policymaking is a highly complex process that is often difficult to predict or influence. Most of the scholarship examining the role of research evidence in policymaking has focused narrowly on characteristics of the evidence and the interactions between scientists and government officials. The real-life context in which policymakers are situated and make decisions also is crucial to th...

Goal neglect is the phenomenon of failing to execute the momentary demands of a task despite understanding and being able to recall the task instructions. Successful goal maintenance is more likely to occur in adults with high working memory capacity (WMC) who can keep rules mentally accessible while performing the task. The current study predicted that goal neglect would also be related to WMC...

Homeopathy is widely used in livestock, especially in order to reduce the use of antibiotics, although it is often seen as controversial. A comprehensive literature review has been conducted to assess the efficacy of homeopathy in cattle, pigs and poultry. Only peer-reviewed publications dealing with homeopathic remedies, which could possibly replace or prevent the use of antibiotics in the cas...

BACKGROUND The accurate measurement of daily mobility and travel to destinations beyond the residential neighbourhood has been identified as an important but almost systematically overlooked factor when investigating the relationship between exposure to the built environment and physical activity. The recent development of VERITAS - a web-based application nested within a computer-assisted pers...
