It is not clear whether shifting of sleep per se, without a concomitant change in the light-dark cycle, can induce a phase shift of the human circadian pacemaker. Two 9-day protocols (crossover, counterbalanced order) were completed by 4 men and 6 women (20-34 years) after adherence to a 2330 to 0800 h sleep episode at home for 2 weeks. Following a modified baseline constant routine (CR) protoc...

Legal theorists, liberal philosophers, and feminist scholars have written extensively on questions surrounding consent and sexual consent, with particular attention paid to the sorts of conditions that validate or vitiate consent, and to whether or not consent is an adequate metric to determine ethical and legal conduct. So too, many have written on the historical construction of childhood, and...

We describe a program, tRNAscan-SE, which identifies 99-100% of transfer RNA genes in DNA sequence while giving less than one false positive per 15 gigabases. Two previously described tRNA detection programs are used as fast, first-pass prefilters to identify candidate tRNAs, which are then analyzed by a highly selective tRNA covariance model. This work represents a practical application of RNA...

Plant growth regulators such as mepiquat chloride (MC) and chlormequat (CCC) are used to establish the balance between vegetative generative in cotton. This study was conducted compare different doses application time of CCC with MC un-treatment (control). The seven treatments including control (non-treatment), T1 (three sprays chloride), T2 (two T3 (0.4 L ha-1 CCC), T4 (0.5 T5 (0.6 CCC) T6 (0....

Background and Objectives: Evidence shows that transfer of hospital governance to board of trustees can positively influence hospital performance. Iran has initiated implementing such a transformation and a number of hospitals have been involved in this reform. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of such a reform by examining performance profile of a sample hospital across the interve...

objective guillain-barre syndrome (gbs) is the most common cause of acute neuromuscular paralysis in children, its pathogenesis most probably involving an autoimmune response to schwann cell or peripheral nerve myelin antigens. steroid regimes improve demyelinating diseases such as chronic gbs. we assessed the benefit of high dose methylprednisolone (mp) combined with intravenous immunoglobulin...
