Health impact assessments (HIAs) across the globe may be used by governments and industries to secure approval for unconventional gas extraction developments. HIA is an umbrella term that covers an array of health review and assessment practices, ranging from the very general to quite specific and technical health studies. Our concern in this paper is principally with the specialist end of the ...

Control of virus infection is mediated in part by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class Ia presentation of viral peptides to conventional CD8 T cells. Although important, the absolute requirement for MHC Class Ia-dependent CD8 T cells for control of chronic virus infection has not been formally demonstrated. We show here that mice lacking MHC Class Ia molecules (K(b-/-)xD(b-/-) mice) eff...

Expression of developmental and unconventional myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms in some adult head and neck muscles is thought to reflect specific contractile demands of muscle fibers active during kinematically complex movements. Mammalian tongue muscles are active during oromotor behaviors that encompass a wide range of tongue movement speeds and tongue shape changes (e.g. respiration, oral ...

OBJECTIVE There have been many studies investigating paraphilias and sexual compulsion, but thus far little data about prevalence of unusual sexual practices that are subthreshold for these diagnoses. The associations between unconventional sexual behavior and sociodemographic and health parameters were investigated. METHOD A cross-sectional study of 7,022 individuals (45.4% of women) was car...

An introduction to and overview of the contents of this Special Issue are given. 32 classes of superconducting materials are discussed, grouped under the three categories ‘‘conventional’’, ‘‘possibly unconventional’’ and ‘‘unconventional’’ according to the mechanism believed to give rise to superconductivity. 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V.

101 THIS TWO-PART FEATURE BEGAN with a discussion of why unconventional left-turn alternatives hold promise for the relief of congested urban and suburban arterials. Part One, which was printed in the September 1998 issue of ITE Journal on pages 26–29, also described three unconventional alternatives—the median U-turn, the bowtie and the superstreet. This part discusses four more alternatives.
