There is evidence for cultural variation in the foods that may be craved. We have designed and tested, in a sample of 234 participants, a UK-specific version of the Food Craving Inventory. A four-factor structure comprising of sweet foods, fast foods, high fat, and complex carbohydrates was extracted. The final scale was analogous with the original US scale, and shared similar associations with...

Man-in-The-Middle (MiTM) attacks present numerous threats to a smart grid. In MiTM attack, an intruder embeds itself within conversation between two devices either eavesdrop or impersonate one of the devices, making it appear be normal exchange information. Thus, can perform false data injection (FDI) and command (FCI) that compromise power system operations, such as state estimation, economic ...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of castration on short-term growth performance, hormone profiles, and behavior in pigs at 3, 6, 9, or 12 d of age. Ninety intact male pigs were assigned randomly to a treatment age by litter [3, 6, 9, or 12 d of age; n = 9 to 13 pigs per treatment (age) group]. Pigs within a single litter were then assigned to noncastrated (NC) or castrat...

This paper provides a uniform semantics to capture various functions of Mandarin particle dou, including the quantifier use, FCI-licenser use, and scalar marker use. I argue that dou is a presuppositional exhaustifier that operates on sub-alternatives and has a pre-exhaustification effect.

There has been significant progress in our understanding of Free Choice any and of -ever free relatives in recent years. Very often, however, the investigation of these two Free Choice Items (FCI) in English has been conducted in parallel. One of the aims of this paper is to bring the two strands together in a way that can account for commonalities and differences between them and, perhaps, a t...

Recent studies have shown that release of mitochondrial cytochrome c is a critical step in the apoptosis process. We have reported that cytosolic redistribution of cytochrome c in vivo occurred after transient focal cerebral ischemia (FCI) in rats and preceded the peak of DNA fragmentation. Although the involvement of reactive oxygen species in the cytosolic redistribution of cytochrome c in vi...
