Is compulsive Internet use (CIU) an antecedent to poor mental health, a consequence, or both? Study 1 used a longitudinal design to track the development of CIU and mental health in Grade 8 (N = 1030 males, 1038 females, Mage = 13.7), 9, 10, and 11. Study 2 extended Study 1 by examining the kinds of Internet behaviors most strongly associated with CIU within males and females. Structural equati...

Burst-only sources are X–ray sources showing up only during short bursts but with no persistent emission (at least with the monitoring instrument which led to their discovery). These bursts have spectral characteristics consistent with thermonuclear (type I) burst from the neutron star surface, linking burst-only sources to neutron star X–ray binary transients. We have carried out a series of s...

The aim of this investigation was to determine whether an actual acceleration in dental development has taken place over the last 30 years in a European population group, as is so readily observable in relation to body height. In this study, radiographs of 1038 healthy European children, 516 boys and 522 girls, were evaluated. The methodology and norms given by Nolla (1960) for both sexes were ...

Composite spectra derived from HST observations of moderate redshift (z ∼ 1) quasars show that the peak of the spectral energy distribution is at ∼1000 Å, and that the ionizing continuum falls off smoothly to shorter wavelengths as fν ∼ ν −1.8. HUT and FUSE observations of nearby AGN (e.g., 3C 273) show similar results. FUSE spectra reveal a wealth of detail in the 912–1200 Å spectral range, in...

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a central role in normal as well as in tumor angiogenesis. As such, VEGF is subjected to multi-level regulation at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and post-translational levels to ensure proper expression during embryogenesis and adulthood. Its mRNA contains an exceptionally long (1038 bp) 5' untranslated region (5'UTR), wh...

A model synthetic peptide substrate of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase; EC 2.7.1.37), Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly, closely resembling the local phosphorylation site sequence in porcine hepatic pyruvate kinase, was shown to be phosphorylated in vivo after microinjection into Xenopus oocytes. This result demonstrates that the microinjection technique, utili...

Number of reviewers 1038 mas hamper. You may muse about the diagnosis for Santa’s red cheeks or chuckle at the collective nouns for your colleagues’ specialties (perhaps even your own); youmight be enlightened by the thought of diagnosing Nutcracker syndrome, or, if Tchaikovsky is not your beat, the effects of AC/DC on your surgical skills; while if you are saddened by a rejected grant applicat...

A study was carried out to identify and estimate the prevalence of ecto- and endoparasites of village chicken between April and July 2008 in three local councils of Enugu state, Nigeria. A total of 1038 chickens comprising of 468 chicks, 207 growers and 363 adults were examined during the house to house survey for ectoparasites, gastrointestinal helminths and coccidia infections. Our finding sh...

We study the properties of ultracompact jets in several prominent radio sources (Cygnus A, 3C 309.1, 3C 345, 3C 395, 4C 39.25, and 1038+528A), using the frequency dependence of observed position of the optically thick jet core. Frequency dependent offsets of the core positions are used for calculating the luminosities, magnetic fields, and geometrical properties of the jets. Opacity effects are...
