Previous results indicate that arterial pulse pressure modulates release of arginine vasopressin (AVP) in humans. The hypothesis was therefore tested that an increase in arterial pulse pressure is the stimulus for suppression of AVP release during central blood volume expansion by water immersion. A two-step immersion model (n = 8) to the xiphoid process and neck, respectively, was used to atta...

background and aims. the most common method for alginate impression disinfection is spraying it by disinfecting agents, but some studies have shown that these impressions can be immersed, too. the aim of this study was to evaluate the dimensional stability of alginate impressions following disinfecting by spray and immersion methods. materials and methods. four common disinfecting agents (sodiu...

Darwin-inspired population thinking suggests approaching culture as a population of items of different types, whose relative frequencies may change over time. Three nested subtypes of populational models can be distinguished: evolutionary, selectional and replicative. Substantial progress has been made in the study of cultural evolution by modelling it within the selectional frame. This progres...
