EDITOR—A ban of a medical intervention would never be supported on the basis of such meagre evidence as used by Waterston to support a ban of the parental intervention of smacking.1 “Significant adverse effects” and a failure to “learn the desired behaviour” were based on a literature review that is unpublished2 and that includes studies that included severe types of corporal punishment such as...

Inherited variation in the function of the drug metabolizing enzyme CYP2C19 was first observed 40 years ago. The SNP variants which underpin loss of CYP2C19 function have been elucidated and extensively studied in healthy populations. However, there has been relatively meagre translation of this information into the clinic. The presence of genotype-phenotype discordance in certain patients sugg...

This study aimed to determine the changes in quality of sous vide meagre (Argyrosomus regius) fillets that have been treated with oregano and rosemary extracts during cold storage (4±1 °C). Saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated polyunsaturated acids dominant fish were found be palmitic acid, oleic linoleic respectively. pH values fluctuated samples. It was determined total volatile basic nitro...

rise in most European countries – North and South, East and West – and that they resort to anti-EU rhetoric to increase their political and electoral support. The combination of the global financial and economic crises (since 2008) with the specifically European sovereign debt crisis (since 2010) has only strengthened this trend. It is equally undeniable that mainstream parties now embrace some...

In France more than 25 million pigs were slaughtered in 2007. Most of the pigs are a three-breed cross with Pietrain boars or synthetic sire lines mated to crossbred sows (mainly Large White cross Landrace). The classification of pig carcases is based on one or two fat depth and one muscle depth measurements to estimate the total lean meat percentage of the four main cuts. More than 90% of carc...

We state and prove that a certain class of smooth functions said to be BH-separable is meagre subset for the Fr\'echet topology. Because these are only admissible Hamiltonians Arnold-Liouville systems admitting bi-Hamiltonian structure, we get that, generically, cannot bi-Hamiltonian. At end paper, determine, both as concrete representation our general result an illustrative list, which polynom...

wliicli usually puzzles or repulses readers unaccustomed to deep research. For, in its elemental or uneducated condition, the mind finds pleasure only in simple ideas or sounds. That which is composite and elaborate is chosen last of all, because it is the last to be understood and appreciated. The meagre notes of a Scotch jig are of this primitive character, arguing a taste as yet in its low o...
