interrelated combination of philosophy and practice" (p. 41). When speaking of conception, Trogawa accepts the Western biological notion of the union of semen and ovum (p. 48), which, as pointed out by Nawang Dakpa in his paper, 'Certain problems of embryology according to the Tibetan medical tradition' (pp. 82-95), is unknown to traditional Tibetan medicine (p. 84). Nawang Dakpa deals with som...

Abstract Alumino-oxy-rossmanite, ideally ☐Al3Al6(Si5AlO18)(BO3)3(OH)3O, is here described as a new member of the tourmaline supergroup. It an early magmatic Al-rich oxy-tourmaline from small pegmatitic body embedded in amphibolite and biotite-rich paragneiss. This pink was found Moldanubian pegmatite (of Drosendorf Unit) that occurs large quarry near village Eibenstein der Thaya, Waidhofen Thay...

OBJECTIVES Our aim was to utilize a community-based approach to identify sex-related differences in risk factors for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). BACKGROUND There are significant sex-based differences in prevalence and manifestation of SCA. Any differences related to predictors of SCA in women versus men are likely to have implications for risk stratification and prevention. METHODS The Ore...

Because hypothermia slows the metabolic processes of the body, oxygen consumption and circulatory energy are reduced. This niodalityzheref ore, suggested itself as I)eing of potential value in the operative therapy of heart disease. Indeed, the possibility of this technique as a method for open intra-cardiac operation under direct vision during total circulatory occlusion was the stimulus which...

High-Energy Physics (HEP) has a long tradition in pioneering infrastructures for scholarly communication, and four leading laboratories are now rolling-out the next-generation digital library for the field: INSPIRE. This is an evolution of the extraordinarily successful, 40-years old SPIRES database. Based on the Invenio software, INSPIRE already provides seamless access to almost 1 million rec...

The dissolution rates of diatom frustules, phytoliths, two diatomaceous lake sediments, a siliceous ooze from the Southern Ocean, a diatomite deposit, and a synthetic amorphous silica were measured in flow-through reactors supplied with either seawater or freshwater. Although the rates varied by more than one order of magnitude among the different siliceous materials, for any given solid the ra...

In Palaeozoic rocks of South-eastern Bosnia (SEB) there are numerous, but very small vein and replacement barite ore deposits containing up to 10% Pb-Zn-Fe-Cu sulphides. Their geochemical characteristics are compared with large barite monosulphide (Hg-tetrahedrite) ore deposits in Mid-Bosnian Schist Mountains (MBSM). The 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios in the barites of both areas are very similar, (0...
