with children is increasing (Nickel 99 ). The use of craniosacral therapy is common in children with special needs for relief from daily or weekly symptoms (Sinha et al 2005, Hurvitz et al 2003). Carlson and Krahn found that their sample of people with physical disabilities used CAM including CST because it fitted their lifestyles and because they perceived it to be more effective than conventi...

Structures have been determined of three human rhinovirus 14 (HRV14) compensation mutants that have resistance to the antiviral capsid binding compounds WIN 52035 and WIN 52084. In addition, the structure of HRV14 is reported, with a site-directed mutation at residue 1219 in VP1. A spontaneous mutation occurs at the same site in one of the compensation mutants. Some of the mutations are on the ...

FOREWORDP Skepticism is an honored tradition in science. Without it, science limps. Before proceeding, therefore, I wish to express my g ratitude to the genuine skeptics in the scientific-medical community who have offered constructive criticism of the field of c o m p l e m e n t a ry and alternative med icine (CAM).

Direct Device-to-Device (D2D) communications underlaying the cellular network are receiving increasing attention lately: LTE-A standard will adopt them for unicast proximity services. So far, no application has been envisioned for broadcast transmissions. In this work, we propose an eMBMSinspired mechanism to allocate a quasi-static pool of resources over multiple eNodeBs (eNBs) for D2D broadca...

Single letter and linear acuity (near and distance) and contrast sensitivity were measured in 15 amblyopes (ages 5 to 12) before, during, and after four weekly 7 min sessions of CAM treatment. Six of the children, however, played games over a homogeneous grey disc having the same space-averaged luminance as that of the striped stimuli. Experimental and controls results were indistinguishable. I...
