At a site where compressed air was being used in the construction of a tunnel, 34 men sorted cards twice, once at normal atmospheric pressure and once at 3j, 2j, or 2 atmospheres absolute pressure. An additional six men sorted cards twice at normal atmospheric pressure. When the task was carried out for the first time, all the groups of men performing at raised pressure were found to yield a re...

BACKGROUND Additive risk models are necessary for understanding the joint effects of exposures on individual and population disease risk. Yet technical challenges have limited the consideration of additive risk models in case-control studies. METHODS Using a flexible risk regression model that allows additive and multiplicative components to estimate absolute risks and risk differences, we re...

feminism is a belief that women and men are equallyworthwhile creatures, but most communities define a degree of superiority forthe male group. in modern ages, some social movements have struggled to achieveequality between women and men and restore women’s ignored rights. presence of women themselves and their activities are significant andrequire more scholarly studies. women novelists have c...

To simulate the broiler growth the input variables were: day of year, vents opening, wind velocity, external temperature and absolute humidity, the maximum, average and minimum of the internal temperature and absolute humidity. For that purpose, two techniques were applied, a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) static Neural Network (NN) and the Layered Digital Dynamic Network (LDDN) which were applie...

BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that inequalities in premature mortality have continued to rise over the last decade in most European countries, but not in southern European countries. METHODS In this study, we assess long-term trends (1971-2011) in absolute and relative educational inequalities in all-cause and cause-specific mortality in the Turin Longitudinal Study (Turin, Italy), a reco...

background: migraine and other recurrent headaches are considered a major public health concern. levetiracetam, a broad spectrum anti-epileptic have been used in migraine prophylaxis. objectives: assessment the efficacy of levetiracetam on migraine in comparison to sodium valproate. materials and methods: this randomized double blind clinical trial was performed on patients with migraine headac...

Nowadays, the Waist-Hip Ratio is considered one of the most important indices in predicting the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The usual method for calculating this index is by measuring the waist and hip circumferences with a measuring tape. However, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) devices are also capable of calculating this ratio. Hence, the goal of this study was to calculate this ...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the absolute and relative risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with type 1 diabetes in the U.K. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects with type 1 diabetes (n = 7,479) and five age- and sex-matched subjects without diabetes (n = 38,116) and free of CVD at baseline were selected from the General Practice Research Database (GPRD), a large primary care database re...

Those statements are quite brave: they also imply that there has not been our own guilt in producing a human being with such a scarse empathy and so sharpened an egoistic drive. Because, if it would be our fault, it would be quite unusual to be solved by ourselves. Obviously, to think of any kind and procedure of moral „enhancement,“ means to have very clear ideas on the absolute superiority of...

Left and right unilateral electrode placements were alternately applied in electroconvulsive therapy given to 21 men with melancholia. Accompanying heart rate elevations were greater following right unilateral treatment than left unilateral, apparently because of longer persistence of peak rates. This is consistent with right cerebral hemisphere superiority in the control of heart rate activity...
