Condoms: a wider range needed.

Education in psychiatry: wider reforms needed--a reply.

children ≤18 years. Children constitute a vulnerable group in society and a systematic approach is required to reduce the burden of childhood sexual abuse and the accompanying physical and emotional sequelae. Overall, strangers were most commonly identified as the perpetrator of sexual abuse in our study. It is possible that a pre-existing relationship with the assailant influences a victim’s l...

A Method of Expressing Seismic Intensity for a Wider Period Range

The instrumental seismic intensity of Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) uses three types of filters which consist of high-cut, low-cut and period functions. An extended function of the low-cut filter is used to evaluate the effect of long-period range on seismic intensity in the paper. An asymptotic filter processing of acceleration in the extended function is proposed to express seismic intens...

Consider a wider range of potential complications to improve patient safety.

Extending Object-Oriented Database Concepts to Support a Wider Range of Applications

This paper primarily addresses the issue of what we really mean by ‘ObjectOriented Databases’. It is argued that the conventional view of an object-oriented database (OODB) − with the main object-oriented features consisting of object identity, classification, specialisation, composition and encapsulation − is rather basic and has limited applications. In order to more adequately support both n...

Developments in ELSD Technology to Improve Sensitivity and Linearity of Response over a Wider Dynamic Range

Liquid flow from a column is nebulised using nitrogen or air to give a plume of fine droplets containing the analyte in solution. The liquid droplets pass into a heated zone where the solvent is removed to leave the dried analyte particle which is subsequently irradiated with light. The amount of light scattered is then measured. Gas flow and temperature can be adjusted to optimise the response...
