While the debate over unhealthy food environments and personal responsibility continues, the basic concept that social circumstances affect dietary intake is generally wellaccepted. How social factors exert their effects and whether the processes are amenable to change, however, are issues of primary interest and importance to public health nutrition professionals. In this edition of Public Hea...

Neurite outgrowth from dorsal root ganglion (DRG) explants is a method of evaluating neurotrophic activity of growth factors. When complete medium containing collagen was supplemented with nerve growth factor (NGF) DRG outgrowth was observed after 18 h. In the absence of NGF and in the presence of collagen, the DRG outgrowth took place after 72 h. In wells not supplemented with collagen gel in ...

Pulmonary gas embolism can have very variable consequences and may become a real challenge for anesthesiologists. We hereby report a case of major pulmonary embolism which took place under unusual circumstances and was documented echocardiographically.

Health inequalities are differences in health experiences and outcomes which arise through the everyday circumstances of people’s lives appropriateness systems put place to support them [...]

Gate resizing for minimum circuit delay is a fundamental problem in the performance optimization of gate-level circuits. In this paper , we study the complexity of two diierent minimum-delay gate resizing problems for combinational circuits composed of single-output gates. The rst problem is that of gate resizing for minimum circuit delay under the load-dependent delay model. The second problem...
