In this proceedings we summarize our recent letter (Jarvis & McLure 2002) where we suggested that by correcting for the inevitable effects of inclination, the black-hole masses of flat-spectrum quasars (FSQ) with intrinsically powerful radio jets are confined, virtually exclusively, to MBH > 108 M⊙. After considering realistic Doppler boosting factors, many of the FSQ would be more accurately c...

The article [Gluten and Aluminum Content in Synthroid (Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets)], written by [Ramon Espaillat, Michael F. Jarvis, Cory Torkelson, Brent Sinclair], was originally published Online First without open access. After publication in volume [34], issue [7], page [1764–1769] the author decided to opt for Open Choice and to make the article an open access publication. Therefore, the...

ROBERT WALPOLE, later Earl of Orford, was born in 1676t in East Anglia, where urinary stone was common, and died in 1745 with this condition. The controversy about his death has been described by Jarvis,' who was particularly concerned with the pamphlet war, involving physicians, surgeons, and literary men, which followed it. Viseltear2 has more recently written an account of Walpole's last ill...

Ventilation failed to protect the health of bar staff. Carbon monoxide from environmental tobacco smoke (ETS-CO) measured in 14 bars in Galway, Ireland showed mean ETS-CO levels of 6.36 ppm (St. Dev. 4.36 ppm), with median levels at 6.00 ppm. Peak CO exceeded 63 p.p.m. in two premises. Passive smoking at the level of 6 ppm of ETS-CO for 30 minutes is known to induce as much dysfunction of the c...

In dryland regions, soil moisture is an important limiting factor for canopy transpiration (T). Thus, clarifying the impact of on T critical comprehensive forest—water management and sustainable development. this study, T, meteorological factors (reference evapotranspiration, ETref), (relative water content, RSWC), leaf area index (LAI) in a Larix principis-rupprechtii plantation Liupan Mountai...
