Egalitarian behavior is considered to be a species-typical component of human cooperation. Human adults tend to share resources equally, even if they have the opportunity to keep a larger portion for themselves. Recent experiments have suggested that this tendency emerges fairly late in human ontogeny, not before 6 or 7 years of age. Here we show that 3-year-old children share mostly equally wi...

Three-dimensional nanostructured metallic substrates for enhanced vibrational spectroscopy are fabricated by self-assembly. Nanostructures consisting of one to 20 depositions of 13 nm-diameter Au nanoparticles (NPs) on Au films are prepared and characterized by means of AFM and UV/Vis reflection-absorption spectroscopy. Surface-enhanced polarization modulation infrared reflection-absorption spe...

Reclamation under the strict requirements of the federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 requires a high level of knowledge of plant growth r e q u i r e m e n t s in r e l a t i o n to geochemical factors on each mine site. A desirable reclamation goal would be to consider all feasible alternatives for creating productive soils and attractive landscapes. The raw materials fo...

Background: Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia is a lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with elevated serum immunoglobulin M and multi-organ involvement. Primary systemic amyloidosis usually develops due to immunoglobulin light chains depositions in different organs due to an underlying gammopathy. Case presentation: Our patient was an 86-year-old man with macroglossia, ecchymotic patches and bullous lesion...

Abstract. A new model system for mapping and forecasting nitrogen deposition to the Baltic Sea has been developed. The system is based on the Lagrangian variable scale transport-chemistry model ACDEP (Atmospheric Chemistry and Deposition model), and aims at delivering deposition estimates to be used as input to marine ecosystem models. The system is tested by comparison of model results to meas...
