Temperature and relative humidity have opposing effects on evaporative water loss, the likely mediator of the temperature-dependence of nephrolithiasis. However, prior studies considered only dry-bulb temperatures when estimating the temperature-dependence of nephrolithiasis. We used distributed lag non-linear models and repeated 10-fold cross-validation to determine the daily temperature metri...

herein, we present the case of a child with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia who simultaneously developed probable invasive aspergillosis and was diagnosed with gi mucormycosis by histopathologic examination. the patient referred to the pediatric intensive ca re unit of ege university due to clinical deterioration and severe lower gastrointestinal system bleeding. main symptoms were abdominal dist...

‎there is much interest in finding short presentations for the finite‎ ‎simple groups‎. ‎indeed it has been suggested that all these groups are‎ ‎efficient in a technical sense‎. ‎in previous papers we produced nice‎ ‎efficient presentations for all except one of the simple groups with‎ ‎order less than one million‎. ‎here we show that all simple groups with‎ ‎order between $1$ million and $5$ ...

ORAL PRESENTATIONS Discussion: Cross-resistance to different antibacterial agents including quinolones and nalidixic acid, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim and in some cases b-lactam antibiotics is a common phenomenon in Gram-negative bacteria (Gutmann et al., 1995). In this study adaptive resistance in Salmonella enterica and E. coli O157, O55 and K-12 was readily achieved by passage in sublethal...

Freezing-like topographies of behavior are elicited in conditioned suppression tasks whereby appetitive behavior is reduced by presentations of an aversively conditioned threat cue relative to a safety cue. Conditioned suppression of operant behavior by a Pavlovian threat cue is an established laboratory model of quantifying the response impairment seen in anxiety disorders. Little is known how...

Spaced presentations of to-be-learned items during encoding leads to superior long-term retention over massed presentations. Despite over a century of research, the psychological and neural basis of this spacing effect however is still under investigation. To test the hypotheses that the spacing effect results either from reduction in encoding-related verbal maintenance rehearsal in massed rela...

Two experiments are described in which rats received a series of shock and food presentations in a Pavlovian counterconditioning sequence. Subsequently, the capacity of the shock to act as a reinforcer during conditioned emotional response (CER) training was assessed. In the first experiment, following each shock during counterconditioning by a food presentation was found to retard the developm...
