The search for the vulnerable plaque has been a prolonged, circuitous journey that despite considerable investment and resource expenditure has hitherto failed to alter clinical practice. The rationale remains enticing. We have known for some time that plaques at risk of rupture and precipitating myocardial infarction and stroke have certain characteristics that extend beyond simple stenosis se...

Parents Parental education is an important factor in affecting children’s dietary patterns, as shown again here in two studies from Germany. In a focus group study from the USA, parents from low-income schools showed that they had only basic knowledge about healthy food and got most of their nutrition information from the media. These parents indicated that they would be happy to learn more abo...

The paper reports on a within-subject experiment, with substantial monetary incentives, designed to test wether or not people are risk-vulnerable. In the experiment, subjects face a simple portfolio choice problem in which they have to invest part of their wealth in a safe and a risky asset. We elicit risk vulnerability by observing each subject’s portfolio choice in two different contexts that...

India is a country richly endowed with mineral deposits. In India, the mining sector is a core industrial sector and is crucial for the economic growth of the country. Since almost all the mineral rich districts lie in the backward areas and are inhabited by tribals, tribal labour constitutes a large proportion of the workforce involved in the mining sector. Tribals are mostly illiterate and ar...

Cardiovascular diseases are still the primary causes of mortality in the United States and in Western Europe. Arterial thrombosis is triggered by a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque and precipitates an acute vascular event, which is responsible for the high mortality rate. These rupture-prone plaques are called "vulnerable plaques." During the past decades, much effort has been put toward accurat...

Multiple laser scanner hardware configurations can be applied to Mobile Mapping Systems. As best practice, laser scanners are rotated horizontally or inclined vertically to increase the probability of contact between the laser scan plane and any surfaces that are perpendicular to the direction of travel. Vertical inclinations also maximise the number of scan profiles striking narrow vertical fe...

It has recently become more popular to involve 3-D modeling and digital documentation in the conservation restoration of heritage sites. The main objective current study is develop a process using laser scanning for Abu Simbel Temple, which one most famous archaeological sites Egypt. We focus on these techniques replace traditional methods building documentation. To create model with geographic...
