The binding energies of the deeply bound 1s and 2p states in pionic atoms of 207 Pb, recently established experimentally in the 208 Pb(d, 3 He) reaction, have been used by several groups to derive the pion effective mass in nuclear matter. We show that these binding energies are fully consistent with 'normal' pionic atoms and that the real part of the pion-nucleus potential at the center of 207...

The purpose of this communication is twofold. First, it clarifies the origin of the power law obtained in the computer simulations presented in A.-L. Barabasi, Nature 435 207-211 (2005) as well as presenting a statistically more sound analysis of the experimental email data used in that paper and in [4]. The second purpose is to clarify the origin of the the suggestion of power law probability ...

background: pithyriasis alba (pa) is a nonspecific dermatitis with unknown origin and is a common dermatosis during childhood. its prevalence is higher in individuals with darker skin, inadequate personal hygiene, sun exposure, xerosis with atopic dermatitis. the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of pithyriasis alba in elementary school children in babol, northern iran.metho...

mental health problems including emotional and behavioral problems during puberty may be under influence of different risk factors including cultures, living in urban or rural areas and ethnic factors which may vary between different countries. the main aim of this study is to investigate the profile of emotional and behavioral problems and the role of factors such as age, stage of puberty, eth...

To determine the prevalence of dental erosion among 5 and 6 year olds school children living in Ajman, United Arab Emirates and to establish associated risk factors. Samples of 207 children of both sexes were randomly selected. Information about potential risk factors for dental erosion was collected via questionnaires filled by the parents. Clinical examinations of buccal, occlusal/incisal and...

ROBERT BARTLETT HAAS, Muybridge. Man in motion, Berkeley, Los Angeles, and London, University of California Press, 1976, 4to, pp. xi, 207, illus., £12.00. The English-born photographer, Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) was the first to capture instantaneous motion on film and to project it on a screen, and the first successfully to develop a method of analysing movement into continuous series of ...

SHOX deficiency is a frequent cause of short stature. The short stature homeobox-containing gene resides in the telomeric PAR1 region on the short arm of both sex chromosomes and escapes X inactivation. For this review, abstracts of 207 publications presented by PubMed for the search term ‘SHOX’ were screened. Heterozygote SHOX mutations (80% deletions) were detected in 2–15% of individuals wit...
