study of agronomic characteristics and advantage indices in intercropping of additive series of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) and black cumin (nigella sativa l.) abstract in order to evaluate quantitive and qualitive yield of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) and black cumin (nigella sativa l.) in intercropping of additive series, a field experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block desig...

In most modern populations, there are sex differentials in morbidity and mortality that favor women. This study addresses whether such female advantages existed to any appreciable degree in medieval Europe. The analyses presented here examine whether men and women with osteological stress markers faced the same risks of death in medieval London. The sample used for this study comes from the Eas...

BACKGROUND Among cancer patients, probabilities of death from that cancer and other causes in the presence of competing risks are optimal measures of prognosis and of mortality across demographic groups. We used data on breast cancer patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program in a competing-risk analysis. METHODS We determined vital status and cause of death ...

OBJECTIVES This study explored the role of mode and unexpectedness of death, age, race, and marital status on psychological symptoms for widows approximately 6 months after their husbands' deaths. METHODS Midwestern samples were drawn from death/divorce records for 276 Black and White women aged 19-74 whose husbands had died from homicide, suicide, or accidental death; 276 matched natural dea...

BACKGROUND After a child's death, parents may experience depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and increased risk for cancers, diabetes, psychiatric hospitalization, and suicide. Racial/ethnic differences are unknown. This longitudinal study investigated health and functioning of Hispanic, black, and white parents through 13 months after NICU/PICU death. METHODS Parents (176 mothe...

We study the description of Schwarzschild black holes, of entropy S, within matrix theory in the regime N > ∼ S ≫ 1. We obtain the most general matrix theory equation of state by requiring that black holes admit a description within this theory. It has a recognisable form in various cases. In some cases a D dimensional black hole can plausibly be thought of as a D̃ = D + 1 dimensional black hole...

from which the global properties can be understood. Here r(u, v) and w(u, v) are certain functions whose details are not so material. The important properties come from the singularities at uv = 1. There are two branches of this singularity, as u and v may be both negative or both positive. The “physical region” is the region uv < 1 between the two singularities. The branch of the singularity w...
