Within an isospin- and momentum-dependent hadronic transport model, it is shown that the recent FOPI data on the pi;{-}/pi;{+} ratio in central heavy-ion collisions at SIS/GSI energies [Willy Reisdorf, Nucl. Phys. A 781, 459 (2007)10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2006.10.085] provide circumstantial evidence suggesting a rather soft nuclear symmetry energy E_{sym}(rho) at rho> or =2rho_{0} compared to the Ak...

structural coupling between alpha and beta cells (4), we wonder whether the paradoxical behavior here disclosed may not be somehow related to a functional uncoupling of these cells as the result of calcium deprivation (15). If so, the present protocol might prove useful for further studies on the significance of intercellular bridging in the physiology and pathology of islet tissue. VIVIANE LEC...

Prepared remarks In his prepared remarks , Mubarak said al though the world is at a different place than it was just a few years ago and s tands at a crossroad, there is still reason for hope. "September 11, the war in Iraq and the near collapse of the Middle East peace process are witness to this great turmoil," Mubarak said.

Play is a universal behavior of children that has been documented since ancient times (Janssen & Janssen, 1996; Lowenfeld, 1939). It is estimated that by 6 years of age, children are likely to have engaged in more have been well established. Play has the power not only to aid in normal child development but also to help alleviate emotional and behav-ioral difficulties. For over six decades, pla...
