Abstract It is often argued that we “owe it” to species driven extinction “to bring them back.” Can justice really require us make restitution for anthropogenic extinctions? it de-extinction? And if so, can attempt the North American Heath Hen’s I will first review types of de-extinction technologies currently available. then discuss criteria used determine when owed injuries as well special ch...

The aim of this study was to compare differences in oral health behavior between dental students and dental technology/dental hygiene students in Jordan. One hundred and five dental students and seventy-eight dental technology/dental hygiene students were recruited into this study. All subjects were recruited from the students who were receiving training at the clinics and laboratories that bel...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of adverse events (AEs) on health utility and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with metastatic breast cancer undergoing first-line chemotherapy. METHODS We analyzed the data from the SELECT BC study, a multicenter, open-label, randomized, phase III study conducted in Japan, which compared first-line S-1 with taxan...

There is clinical evidence to recommend the use of partially hydrolyzed infant formulas (HA-IF) for at risk children as an option for prevention of allergic diseases, particularly atopic dermatitis/eczema (Szajewska et al. 2010). As cow’s milk allergic infants are at risk of developing allergy to newly introduced foods at weaning, we aimed to extend the concept of HA-IF to egg, another potentia...

Nitrosamines are a potent and versatile group of carcinogens and by the generally accepted mechanisms of their carcinogenicity require metabolic transformation to alkylating agents or carbonium ions before they become biologically active (Hultin et al., 1960; Heath, 1962). Metabolic studies of dimethylnitrosamine in the rat have shown that it was readily metabolized to CO, (Magee, 1956) and tha...

background and aims. helicobacter pylori is a microaerophilic gram-negative spiral organism. it is recognized as the etiologic factor for peptic ulcers, gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric lymphoma. recently, it has been isolated from dental plaque and the dorsum of the tongue. this study was designed to assess the association between h. pylori and oral lesions such as ulcerative/inflammatory le...

Leaf toughness is an important functional trait that confers resistance to herbivory and mechanical damage. We sought determine how species composition, climate, seasonality, nutrient availability influence leaf in two types of tundra northern Alaska. measured as force punch for 11 Arctic plants tussock dry heath at 17 sites distributed along a latitudinal gradient. Rubus chamaemorus L. the gra...

An experimental burning program was set up in South Australia aimed at characterizing fuel dynamics and fire behaviour in mallee-heath woodlands. Fuel complexes in the experimental area comprised mallee and heath vegetation with ages (time since fire) ranging from 7 to 50 years old. Dominant overstorey mallee vegetation comprised Eucalyptus calycogona, E. diversifolia, E. incrassate and E. lept...

This paper aims at transferring the philosophy behind Heath-Jarrow-Morton to the modelling of call options with all strikes and maturities. Contrary to the approach by Carmona and Nadtochiy [8] and related to the recent contribution [10] by the same authors, the key parametrisation of our approach involves time-inhomogeneous Lévy processes instead of local volatility models. We provide necessar...

Erica australis, E. scoparia, E. arborea and Calluna 6ulgaris are the most abundant heath species on acid, sandstone-derived soils of the Strait of Gibraltar region (southern Spain and northern Morocco). Despite their apparently similar ecological requirements, these four species are somewhat ecologically segregated. Erica australis is abundant only on poor, shallow soils, with a high content i...
