We consider Smoluchowski’s equation with a homogeneous kernel of the form a(x, y) = xy + xy with −1 < α ≤ β < 1 and λ := α + β ∈ (−1, 1). We first show that self-similar solutions of this equation are infinitely differentiable and prove sharp results on the behavior of self-similar profiles at y = 0 in the case α < 0. We also give some partial uniqueness results for self-similar profiles: in th...

Genetic parameters and environmental factors were estimated for foaling ease (FE) and stillbirths (SBs) in four breeds of draft horses based on 11 229, 38 877, 35 764 and 13 274 FE and SB scores recorded between 1998 and 2010 for Ardennais (A), Breton (B), Comtois (C) and Percheron (P), respectively. Incidences for the three FE categories were: easy or without help 91.0% (A) to 95.4% (B), diffi...

OBJECTIVE Studies on untreated remissions from addictive behaviors have utilized very different definitions of treatment, ranging from regular self-help group participation to almost no help at all. The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of different treatment definitions on triggering and maintenance mechanisms of recovery. METHOD Sample 1 consists of 103 remitted alcohol depen...

To explain my thoughts on this, I will report the highlights of the research I have been carrying out into (1) how children learn to talk and (2) why, therefore, the phonetics/phonology of English in mature speakers is the way that it is. I will then relate this to L2 learners, in order to ask what we can realistically expect students to do on their own, with and without help from technology, a...

AIM To evaluate the treatment of endometrial hyperplasia (EH) with different progestins. METHODS Eighty-two women with simple EH without atypia were included. Patients were offered oral progestagens and were randomized to one of three options for 3 months: medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA, 10 mg/day), lynestrenol (LYN, 15 mg/day) and norethisterone (NET, 15 mg/day) for 10 days per cycle. Pati...
