OBJECTIVE To compare in vitro percutaneous absorption of methyl-parathion dissolved in an acetone vehicle and in the form of a commercial formulation. METHODS Penetration through the human skin was measured in Franz diffusion cells with full thickness skin from a human cadaver as the membrane. The two tailed non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the cumulative diffusion of me...

INTRODUCTION Few studies have analyzed the importance of socio-demographic variables on the perception of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS The sample was composed of 150 patients with MS. Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H non-parametric tests comparing socio-demographic items with HRQoL. RESUL...

Two-loop Gell-Mann–Low function of N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, regularized by higher covariant derivatives. Abstract Two-loop Gell-Mann–Low function is calculated for N=1 supersymmetric Yang– Mills theory, regularized by higher covariant derivatives. The integrals, which define it, are shown to be reduced to total derivatives and can be easily calculated analytically .

BACKGROUND Palatal rugae are distinct to each individual and are highly specific to each individual as their fingerprints. Rugae pattern are specific to different racial groups making it convenient for population identification. Palatal rugae retain their shape throughout life and hence can be useful as an identification tool. The present study aimed at analyzing the differences in rugae patter...
