The article analyzes political conflict in Mexico through a powerful social movement that erupted the massive shantytown of Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl between 1969 and 1973. In summer 1969, after decades abysmal living conditions, residents (Neza) launched payment strike to demand federal government expropriate land from private developers, with intent gain urban infrastructure formal property title...

BACKGROUND In spastic cerebral palsy (SCP), a limited range of motion of the foot (ROM), limits gait and other activities. Assessment of this limitation of ROM and knowledge of active mechanisms is of crucial importance for clinical treatment. METHODS For a comparison between spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) children and typically developing children (TD), medial gastrocnemius muscle-tendon compl...

BACKGROUND There is a need for improvement of information provision and post-treatment care for cancer survivors. A Survivorship Care Plan (SCP) is recommended by the American Institute of Medicine and the Dutch Health Council, which is a summary of patients' course of treatment as a formal document, and includes recommendations for subsequent cancer surveillance, management of late effects, an...

Digital map processing techniques have enabled new computational methods to extract geographic features from scanned sources. These are mainly historical maps and rich in spatiotemporal information which can be derived by descriptive metrics. River channel width is such a typical ecological metric used calculate properties as water discharge rates and, generally, often applied hydrological moni...

The super cooling point (SCP) is the best documented parameter for describing the ability of insects to survive freezing but its value as a predictor of overwintering survival or for estimation of the cold hardiness potential, is limited. According to this study, the SCP is influenced by such factors as polyol and protein concentration in the hemolymph; therefore it can be lower in winter than ...

OBJECTIVE Stimulated serum C-peptide (sCP) during a mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) is the gold standard measure of endogenous insulin secretion, but practical issues limit its use. We assessed urine C-peptide creatinine ratio (UCPCR) as an alternative. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Seventy-two type 1 diabetic patients (age of diagnosis median 14 years [interquartile range 10-22]; diabetes dur...

Single-cell protein (SCP) consisting of the more or less processed cell mass of bacteria, yeasts, fungi or algae is considered to be a potential source of protein for the nutrition of animals and man. However, the high content of nucleic acids, which may attain 10-1570 in fast-growing microbes, is one of the main factors limiting the use of SCP for human nutrition because of hyperuricemia (Anon...

Aim. To assess IL-1A C[-889]T and IL-1B C[3954]T genotypes as well as haplotypes in relation to sever chronic periodontitis (SCP) among Yemenis. Materials and Methods. 40 cases with SCP and 40 sex- and age-matched controls were included; all were nonsmokers and free of systemic diseases. Genotyping at each locus was performed using an established PCR-RFLP assay. The Haploview and SimHap softwar...

Sticker model is imitated by using set, variable length vector and biochemistry operator instead of tube, memory strand and biochemistry experiment for the first time. Batch separation operator and electrophoresis operator are first put forward based on DNA algorithm of Set Covering Problem (SCP) based on sticker model. Expression way, calculation method and basic properties of variable length ...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To evaluate the feasibility, usability, and satisfaction of a survivorship care plan (SCP) and identify the optimum time for its delivery during the first 12 months after diagnosis. DESIGN Prospective, descriptive, single-arm study. SETTING A National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in the southeastern United States. SAMPLE 28 nonmetastatic colon cancer surviv...
