ABSTRACT Based on the spectral analysis of individual orbits stars from different N-body models, we show that face-on morphology so-called ‘face-on peanut’ bars (boxy bars) and barlenses is supported by types orbits. For bars, boxy come to fore, they are responsible for unusual bar in central regions. In models with compact bulges, a barlens their parts. We found supporting two types, one which...

BACKGROUND In recent years, research on the association between physical environments and cardiovascular disease outcomes has gained momentum with growing attention being paid to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This nationwide study is the first to examine the effect of neighbourhood physical environments on individual-level stroke, using GIS-based measures of neighbourhood availability o...

Few school-age youth consume the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables, and increasing fruit and vegetable intake in children and adolescents is an important public health goal to maintain long-term good health and to decrease risk of chronic disease and obesity. School salad bars are an important tool to promote fruit and vegetable consumption among schoolchildren. Studies show that int...

The effects of uni- and bilateral transections of the medullary pyramids on movements requiring differential use of distal forelimb muscles were studied. The pyramidotomy abolished for more than one year the ability to solve tasks which required flexion and adduction of the digits involved in grasping, e. g. to extract food from narrow horizontal and vertical tubes; unilateral and bilateral pyr...
