BACKGROUND Family-based interventions to prevent childhood obesity depend upon parents' taking action to improve diet and other lifestyle behaviours in their families. Programmes that attract and retain high numbers of parents provide an enhanced opportunity to improve public health and are also likely to be more cost-effective than those that do not. We have developed a theory-informed optimis...

Various singular integral inequalities play an important role in the development of the theory of differential equations, functional differential equations, and integral equations. For example, Henry 1 proposed a linear integral inequality with singular kernel to investigate some qualitative properties for a parabolic differential equation, and Sano and Kunimatsu 2 gave a modified version of He...

the field of medieval history has produced several hundred, if not thousands of volumes on kingship in the Middle Ages. Students of medieval studies are well acquainted with much of this literature, particularly that sparked by Ernst Kantorowicz' s historiographical game changer, The King's Two Bodies (1957). Katherine Lewis's innovative study of the monarchy and masculinity of Henry V (r.1413-...

The G.O.M. is not murdered – only 'fillipped with a three man beetle' as the fat knight has it. 1 Strong language is my aversion – especially about an adversary – but if I have not shown the G.O.M. to be a lying, ignorant, pretentious humbug, 'call me horse' – as again the fat knight saith. 2 Ever yours T. H. Huxley 1 " fillip me with a t...

He was born at Downend on November 28th, 1841, the third son of Henry Mills Grace, a very hard-working country doctor, whose leisure moments in the summer were given up to cricket. The other sons were Henry, Alfred, now at Chipping Sodbur...

has identified post-operative discharges from mammalian medullated nerves and more recently Hoagland (1933) has recorded similar conditions in the lateral-line nerves of fishes. I am, therefore, led to conclude that probably many nerves, medullated as well as non-medullated, may remain more or less continuously active for long periods, days in fact, after their severance from their centers. Thi...

Yonsei University College of Medicine and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, which have a close relationship through Louis Henry Severance and Dr. Alfred Irving Ludlow, have decided to publish a review article series jointly edited by the two institutions in memory of these two figures in history.
