Age-standardized rates (ASRs; using 1985 Japanese standard population) for Breast cancer mortality for 1960–2000 are shown for Japan, the USA, the UK, France and Italy (Fig. 1). Over this period, ASRs of breast cancer among women from the USA, the UK, France and Italy decreased following the peak around 1990. ASRs for Japanese women were much lower than those observed among women in the USA, th...

Subjective attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms seen in adult depressive patients have often become a pathophysiological topic recent years. Screening questionnaires are widely used for detecting ADHD; however, the risk of misdiagnosis exists.

The controlling behaviour of a vehicle is influenced by the performance of its steering system. The steering system consists of steering wheel, steering column, rack and pinion, steering gearbox, and a linkage system. The vehicle is controlled by the behaviour of the steering gear with the spring loaded rack and pinion. This spring loading arrangement consists of yoke nut, spring, and plunger. ...

Exposure to lateral fluid percussion (LFP) injury consistent with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) persistently attenuates acoustic startle responses (ASRs) in rats. Here, we examined whether the experience of head trauma affects stress reactivity. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were matched for ASRs and randomly assigned to receive mTBI through LFP or experience a sham surgery (SHAM). ASRs were me...

Many data center traffic patterns exhibit abundant concurrent connections and high churn. In the face of these characteristics, server-centric congestion control is a poor fit—each connection, no matter how small, must start from scratch testing when and how much to send along a given path. This is despite the fact that there are a large number of flows that may have already probed the exact sa...

In 1996 an agreement was made between a well-known beverage manufacturer, Super-Cola Taiwan, (SCT) and a small Australian electrical engineering company, Dag-Brücken ASRS Pty Ltd, (DB), to provide an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) facility as part of SCT’s production facilities in Asia. Recognising the potential of their innovative and technically advanced design, DB was awarded ...

BACKGROUND Currently, only one in three UK medical students undertake an intercalated degree. This has often been implicated as a result of financial obstacles or a lack of interest in research due to inadequate exposure to academic medicine. The aims of this study were to determine whether exposure to research early in medical school, through the initiation of an early years clinical academic ...

SUNITA SINGH, m.b., b.s. (Punjab) From the Brigade Laboratory, Allahabad Instead of the ordinary rectangular rack, a circular rotary rack has been used by us. The experimental tubes are rotated alongside the control tubes. The light comes from below after being reflected from a black surface. The readings are very clear and can be quickly made without disturbing the tubes. The rack consists of ...
