Leg 135 of the Ocean Drilling Program drilled and cored eight sites across the Lau Basin and adjacent Tonga Ridge to study the geological evolution of a backarc basin and adjacent oceanic arc and forearc. Six sites (Sites 834, 835, 836, 837, 838, and 839) were drilled within the Lau Basin, each within smaller and narrower (<10 km) north-south fault basins and collectively representing a broad e...

The first descriptions of meningitis in childhood caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroup 135 are presented. Difficulties with identification of unusual serogroups of N. meningitidis are discussed.

the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) cooperated to explore the possible impact of learning-style instructional strategies on student achievement and attitudes. In five years, that initial effort expanded into a national network that continued expanding to include thirty centers on four continents by 1994. The group, the International Learning Styles Network, currently...

The purpose of this report is to describe hyperextension dislocation of the cervical spine and to illustrate its often subtle radiographic features. An analysis of the lateral cervical spine radiographs in 20 patients with hyperextension dislocation of the cervical spine revealed the combination of diffuse prevertebral soft-tissue widening together with normally aligned cervical vertebrae in al...

We synthesized mesoporous SiO2 nanomatrix using rice husks as a precursor through facile thermal combustion process. XRD, FTIR, EDX, and TEM analyses were used to validate the produced nanomatrix. Electrochemical measurements determine specific capacitance of nanomatrix, results showed that capacitances are 216, 204, 182, 163, 152, 142, 135, 133, 124.4, 124 F/g at current densities 0.5, 1, 2, 4...

referrals which they dealt with. At the end of the 15 month period, this was analysed with regard to demographic data, specialties generating the referral, final rheumatologic diagnosis, response time and the outcome. They were supported by 7.6 WTE consultants who run a separate rheumatology on call rota and a weekly rapid access clinic. Results: A total of 135 patients were seen by the registr...

We develop an abstract framework for studying the strong form of Malle’s conjecture [J. Number Theory 92 (2002), pp. 315–329; Experiment. Math. 13 (2004), 129–135] nilpotent groups G G</mml:annotatio...

BACKGROUND It has been reported that miR-135-5p is involved with many diseases. In this study, we aimed at define the relationship between miR-135-5p level and burn patient survival after skin transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Expression of miR-135-5p and PIM2 was measured using real-time PCR and Western blot analysis in the skin samples collected from burn patients who received skin graft ...

OBJECTIVE To examine national patterns in cooking frequency and diet quality among adults in the USA, overall and by weight-loss intention. DESIGN Analysis of cross-sectional 24 h dietary recall and interview data. Diet quality measures included total kilojoules per day, grams of fat, sugar and carbohydrates per day, fast-food meals per week, and frozen/pizza and ready-to-eat meals consumed i...
