Introduction: The impact history of the solar system remains controversial. Early investigation of lunar samples, returned by Apollo astronauts, led to the 'Late Heavy Bombardment' (LHB) concept [1,2] which hypothesized a sharp increase in bolide flux centered around ~3.9 Ga. Evidence for this cataclysm was first derived from whole-rock U-Pb and Rb-Sr ages [2] but subsequently more on 40 Ar-39 ...

in order to study the effect of different levels of desiccated ox bile (dob; 0.00, 0.25, and 0.50%) and organic acid (oa; 0.00, 0.15, and 0.30% of the diet) on performance, fat digestibility, blood metabolites and ileal digesta viscosity in broiler chickens fed diets containing 5% tallow, in a completely randomized design with a 3×3 factorial arrangement and 4 replicates in each treatment, 360 ...

AIM: The present study aimed to compare the clinical efficiency of facial pressure bandage, that intramuscular injection dexamethasone (8 mg) on postsurgical sequels (swelling, pain, and trismus) extraction impacted mandibular third molar. METHODS: implemented a randomized split-mouth design. Patients with symmetrical bilateral molars were eligible for trial. Sides randomly assigned two groups:...

The mechanistic relationship between amyloid β1-42 (Aβ1-42) and the alteration of Tau protein are debated. We investigated the effect of Aβ1-42 monomers and oligomers on Tau, using mice expressing wild-type human Tau that do not spontaneously develop Tau pathology. After intraventricular injection of Aβ1-42, mice were sacrificed after 3 h or 4 days. The short-lasting treatment with Aβ monomers,...

Sentence (1) strongly suggests that the speaker does not have a sister: (1) John believes that I have a sister. a. Alternative: John knows that I have a sister. b. Actual inference: the speaker does not have a sister. 5 c. Predicted inference: it is not common belief that the speaker has a sister. According to Heim (1991), Percus (2006), and Sauerland (2006), this inference should follow from t...

Introduction: The aim of this abstract is to acquaint the reader with the major geochemical and geochronological properties of lunar rocks formed or affected by impact events, and thus how these rocks constrain lunar bombardment history, with particular emphasis on constraints upon the proposed Lunar Cataclysm or Late Heavy Bombardment [1]. To this end, the focus is on clast-poor impact melt ro...

The study was undertaken to evaluate (a) the reliability of pedometer data and reactivity of children to wearing a pedometer, (b) the effectiveness of a missing data replacement procedure, and (c) the validity of the Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (LTEQ). Six days of pedometer data were collected from 299 middle-school children, followed by administration of the LTEQ. Six days of pedometer...
