Objective: To provide clinicians with current information on prevalence, risk factors, outcomes, treatment, and prevention of child sexual abuse (CSA).To examine the best-documented examples of psychopathology attributable to CSA. Method: Computer literature searches of Medline and PSYCInfo for key words. All English-language articles published after 1989 containing empirical data pertaining to...

Chronic stimulation of a predominantly fast skeletal muscle enhanced the expression of type I (slow muscle) Ca-ATPase and suppressed the expression of the type II (fast muscle) Ca-ATPase. Monoclonal antibodies IID8 and IIH11 against type I (slow) and type II (fast) isozymes respectively, were used to type the Ca-ATPases of the isolated SR (sarcoplasmic reticulum) by Western blots, and the Ca-AT...

Details of a unified creep-plasticity theory, based on the concept of an internal time, are presented, and a geometric interpretation of such a theory is given. A' tangent-stiffness' formulation, for the finite-element/boundary-element calculation of weak solutions of the strain-history in the structure, is presented. An implicit algorithm of generalized mid-point radial mapping for computing t...

In this paper, the parameters of the LTE system in DL are investigated. These parameters include the effect of the Hybrid Adaptive Repeat and Request henceforth (HARQ) on the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Block Error Rate (BLER), and throughput. The paper deals with three cases of Channel Quality Indicator (CQI): 3,7 and 15.The results showed that the HARQ procedure can improve the BLER and the ...

The σ receptor was originally proposed to be a subtype of the opioid receptor. Abstract However, it is now clear that σ receptors are unique non-opioid, non-phencyclidine brain proteins. Two types of σ receptor exist, the σ-1 receptor and the σ-2 receptor. σ-1 receptors have been cloned and their distribution, physiological functions and roles in signal transduction were recently characterised....

Adolfo Lopez Mateos, Distrito Federal, Mexico. Background: Chronic urticaria (CU) is a common disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of urticaria pruritic erythematous lesions, associated with ang...

Ten years ago, the design of peer-to-peer networks was one of the hottest topics in systems research. Less so these days, but peer-to-peer networks remain practically relevant and also provide an intriguing case study of how a system evolves in response to incentive issues. The story begins in 1999, with Napster. The primary purpose of Napster was to provide a centralized and searchable directo...

On the biotransformation of phenol and monofluorophenols by the cultured cells of Eucalyptus perriniana, phenyl and fluorophenyl b-D-glucosides were isolated after a 1-h incubation. Especially, the yield of 2-fluorophenol is higher than those of the other substrates, i.e., phenol, 3and 4-fluorophenols. These results indicated that E. perriniana cells selectively glycosylate the hydroxyl group o...
