the nw-se trending zagros fold and thrust belt extends for about 1,800 km from a location some 300 km se of the east anatolian fault in ne turkey to the strait of hormuz where the north-south trending zendan-minab-palami fault system (zmp) separates the zagros belt from the makran accretionary prism. the ne limit of the zagros belt is marked by the main zagros reverse fault which is rotated abo...

Regarding our article on the association of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with increased Alzheimer’s disease risk, Bowen et al, Froehner and Wirth, Leow et al, and Brady et al highlight a number of significant considerations that will prove important in the design of future studies that investigate the association of ADT and Alzheimer’s disease. We agree with Bowen et al and Leow et al tha...

Most studies on sexual reproduction of scleractinian corals in Brazil have been concentrated in a single population or in a small area (Pires et al., 1999; Francini et al., 2002; Neves & Pires, 2002; Pires & Caparelli, 2002; Pires et al., 2002; Lins-de-Barros et al., 2003). The present paper presents a comparison of the sexual reproductive status of six populations of the Brazilian scleractinia...

High tibial osteotomy (HTO) has traditionally been performed to correct the mechanical axis of the knee in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the medial compartment associated with pain and functional impairment; in these patients the restoration of the alignment was related to the regeneration of the articular cartilage that seemed apparently normal (Fujisawa et al., 1979; Odenbring et al., ...

The comprehensive meta-analysis reported by Nathan et al. (1) used comparable methods and produced results similar to those in our recent meta-analysis (2), which dealt with the same group of patients and clinical trials. Despite these similarities, the authors of the two studies reached different conclusions. Nathan et al. concluded that the data did not support the routine use of autologous b...

PHOENIX (see Hauschildt & Baron, 1999, and references therein) is a generalized, stellar model atmosphere code for treating both static and moving atmospheres. The goal of PHOENIX is to be both as general as possible so that essentially all astrophysical objects can be modeled with a single code, and to make as few approximations as possible. Approximations are inevitable (particularly in atomi...
