This paper challenges recent research (Evans, 2008) reporting that the concentration of cited scientific literature increases with the online availability of articles and journals. Using Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science, the present paper analyses changes in the concentration of citations received (twoand five-year citation windows) by papers published between 1900 and 2005. Three measures of co...

SUMMARY Groups of ovalbumin sensitised, subscorbutic guinea-pigs were subjected to various regimens for 8-10 weeks. Group 1 were given 0.25 mg/100 g body wt. cholesterol by mouth daily and were stressed with intraperitoneal injections of ovalbumin twice weekly. Group 2 received the cholesterol only and Group 3 were stressed only. Group 4 on the low vitamin C diet only acted as controls. Evans b...

The advantages of a near-infrared variant of the Barnes-Evans method for estimating distances to Cepheid variables are described and quantiied. A surface brightness-color relation for K photometry and the (V ?K) 0 color index is established using modern , high-precision angular diameters from optical interferometers. Applied to data for the galactic (cluster) Cepheid U Sgr, this method yields a...

An immunofluorescent slide method incorporating 0.1% (wt/vol) Evans blue as a counterstain was developed and compared with a recently described tube method. Seventy-one urine specimens were tested concurrently by both methods. Results of the two methods agreed in 70 specimens and disagreed in only 1. We found the slide method to be less costly and time consuming than the tube method.

As part of the Frank Pantridge Legacy symposium at Queens University, the latter part of Thursday 11 th June was devoted to Frank Pantridge's memory. A reception in the Canada room in the Lanyon building of the University took place followed by a formal unveiling of a commissioned oil painting of Frank. The symposium was organised and introduced by Professor Alun Evans (figure 4). The audience ...

We report on an 80-year-old woman who had shunt-responsive idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). Her brain MRI showed an initial change in the subarachnoid space (a disproportional narrowing of the subarachnoid space at the cerebral high convexities) at the age of 70 years, followed by enlargement of the ventricles (Evans index: 0.31) at the age of 78. The observation suggests that c...

during 2004-2005, a faunistic study was carried out on the edaphic mites in sorche-hesar forest park of tehran. a total of 14 species belonging to 10 families were collected and identified, of which four species, viz. iphidozercon corticalis evans, dendrolealaps populi walker, holaspina alstoni evans and rhodacarellus silesiacus willmann, are new records for iran.

Thyroidectomy reduces the incidence of hormone-depend ent stem cell leukemia elicited by 4 biweekly doses of 7,12dimethylbenz(a)anthracene to Long-Evans rats (22% com pared with 46% in control animals). There is a high incidence of early death due to aplastic anemia in the thyroidectomized rats (70%) compared with controls (34%). In established leu kemia, neither thyroidectomy nor thyroxine exc...
