Maternal cigarette consumption during pregnancy, and infant birth weight were assessed in 427 consecutive births at BMH Rinteln. Smokers comprised 46.1% of the mothers. Babies born to mothers who smoked were significantly lighter than those born to non-smoking mothers, regardless of birth order. Smoking mothers were disproportionately represented in the low birth weight group. (19 out of 24) Th...

Work by Agus and colleagues in this issue of Neuron defines a human mechanism for the rapid learning of novel noises. The noises do not have a verbal label, and are stored accurately for weeks.

We investigate properties of the invariant measure for the A 0 gauge field in finite temperature gauge theories both on the lattice and in the continuum theory. We have found the cancellation of the naive measure in both cases. The result is quite general and holds at any finite temperature. We demonstrate, however, that there is no cancellation at any temperature for the invariant measure cont...

in this study, provided preliminary evidence on a comprehensive program of study focusing on investors’ behavior in the tehran stock exchange (tse) in 2014. using a survey-based methodology, 561 investors from the tse representing individual investors, mutual fund experts, funding institutions experts, institutional investors, and stock brokers have been randomly selected to respond to a set of...

Simultaneous labeling of multiple targets in a single sample, or multiplexing, is a powerful approach to directly compare the amount, localization and/or molecular properties of different targets in the same sample. Here we highlight the robust reliability of the simultaneous use of multiple mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of different immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses in a wide variety of m...

Again, for small degrees d, this is the kind of cancellation that we would expect from a sum of q random points on the unit circle. Looking at the whole argument in totality, what we just did is highly highly dependent on P (X) being a single monomial. The multiplicativity of the monomial brings the characters of the multiplicative group into play. For a general polynomial P (X), we have no suc...

In this paper, we will study an extreme case of cancellation over the rational function field k = E(T ). If we assume that the geometric Galois group Gal(k/kE) has no non-trivial invariants on V and that the degree f(V ) of the Artin conductor of V is twice the dimension of V , then L(V, s) is a polynomial of degree 0 in q with constant coefficient 1. Hence L(V, s) = 1 is a constant function! W...

We present a pedagogical derivation of the SachsWolfe effect, specifically the factor 3 relating the temperature fluctuations to gravitational potentials. The result arises from a cancellation between gravitational redshifts and intrinsic temperature fluctuations which can be derived from a coordinate transformation of the background.

Considering the BFKL and DGLAP QCD evolution equations for structure functions, we discuss the possibility of unifying them in the whole x and Q range. We emphasize that the main problem is related to the constraint of angular ordering of the radiation, and the cancellation of the related collinear singularities for inclusive processes. At the leading log 1/x and log Q level, we write down a un...
