Objective: The use of smaller dishware as a way of reducing food consumption has intuitive appeal and is recommended to the general public. Recent experimental studies have failed to find an effect of plate size on food intake, although the methods used across studies have varied. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect that bowl size had on snack food consumption in a ‘typical’ ...

In Drosophila, antennae and legs are serially homologous appendages, and yet they develop into organs of very different structure and function. This implies that different genetic mechanisms operate onto a common developmental ground state to produce antennae and legs. Still few such mechanisms have been uncovered. During leg development, bowl, a member of the odd-skipped gene family, has been ...

Cooperation in prisoner’s dilemma games can usually be sustained only if the game has an infinite horizon. We analyze to what extent the theoretically crucial distinction of finite vs. infinite-horizon games is reflected in the outcomes of a prisoner’s dilemma experiment. We compare three different experimental termination rules in four treatments: a known finite end, an unknown end, and two va...

BACKGROUND Intakes of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially EPA (C20:5n-3) and DHA (C22:6n-3), are known to prevent fatal coronary heart disease (CHD). The effects of n-6 PUFAs including arachidonic acid (C20:4n-6), however, remain unclear. δ-5 and δ-6 desaturases are rate-limiting enzymes for synthesizing long-chain n-3 and n-6 PUFAs. C20:4n-6 to C20:3n-6 and C18:3n-6 to C18:2n-6...

This paper investigates controllability of underactuated rolling systems consisting of a smooth object rolling on a moving smooth surface. Our system consists of a spherical ball which rolls on the inside of an ellipsoidal bowl. The bowl has a single translational degree of freedom not aligned with any of its principal axes. The single control input is the bowl's acceleration in this direction....

Super Bowl XLVIII drew the largest television audience in American history with 111.5 million US viewers.[1] This surpassed the previous record set by Super Bowl XLVI two years prior with 111.3 million viewers.[2] In fact, the last four Super Bowls have been the four most watched TV programs in U.S. history.[20] Despite the uneventful game between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks, wh...

ness, nor founded on any profound scientific deduction. A bowl to be kept and pressed to the hips if the woman lies on her back, to the upper and posterior part of the thigh if she lies on her side, in order to catch discharge of any kind which may come from the vulva. Such a bowl I have used for many years in my ordinary management of labour, and I have so high an opinion of its utility that I...
