I do not propose to give a review of the whole avalanche of regulatory activity since January. I shall instead focus on the two big reviews that Ofcom has undertaken: on public service broadcasting, and telecommunications. And in particular, I want to see how Ofcom understands broadcasting and telecommunications: how does it see these markets developing?; what does it see as being the major reg...

backgroundseveral studies have examined the relationship between human development index (hdi) and various health outcomes. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between hdi, and infant mortality rate, mortality rate of children under one year and under 5 years, maternal mortality rate, and total fertility rate.materials and methodsin this ecologic study, data on hdi, total ...

Many different concepts of percolation exist for networks. We show that bond percolation, site percolation, k-core percolation, and bootstrap percolation are all special cases of the Watts Threshold model. We show that the “heterogeneous k-core” and a corresponding heterogeneous bootstrap model are equivalent to one another and the Watts Threshold Model. A more recent model of a “Generalized Ep...

Our recently published data demonstrate significant similarities between normal and malignant plasma cells in the cellular and molecular interactions that support their survival in the bone marrow microenvironment, and suggest that the biology of multiple myeloma may largely reflect that of their normal counterparts.

The quantitative performance of wheat crop under 1-5 year old poplar plantations in irrigated agro-ecosystem was studied to ascertain the biological yield of tree and crop. Results revealed that growth and yield of wheat decreased significantly with the increase in poplar age. The per cent reduction in net grain yield was 17% under one year old poplar plantation, which increased to 52.15% under...
