Natural experiments wherein preferred marriage partners are co-reared play a central role in testing the Westermarck hypothesis. This paper reviews two such hitherto largely neglected experiments. The case of the Karo Batak is outlined in hopes that other scholars will procure additional information; the case of the Oneida community is examined in detail. Genealogical records reveal that, despi...

Although several theories of online syntactic processing assume the parallel activation of multiple syntactic representations, evidence supporting simultaneous activation has been inconclusive. Here, the continuous and non-ballistic properties of computer mouse movements are exploited, by recording their streaming x, y coordinates to procure evidence regarding parallel versus serial processing....

Among the power drills (Electrical/Pneumatic/Battery) used in Orthopedic surgery, battery drill has got several advantages. Surgeons in low resource settings could not routinely use Orthopedic battery drills (OBD) due to the prohibitive cost of good drills or poor quality of other drills. "Hardware" or Engineering battery drill (HBD) is a viable alternative to OBD. HBD is easy to procure, rugge...

Distribution centers (DCs) play important poles in supply chain managements. How to decide an effective and reasonable distribution center location is a first goal for supply chain design, which directly influences the efficiency of the network of facilities and activities that procure, produce, and distribute goods to customers. In the previous literatures, authors seldom consider unexpected e...

the surveillance of the public authorities. Article 4.?The Prefect, and those individuals specially nominated by him for that purpose, or by the minister of the interior, the president of the court, the king's advocate, the justice of the peace, the mayor of the division, are directed to visit the establishments, both private and public, dedicated to the service of the insane. They will receive...

Laser microdissection (LMD) is an accurate and fast method to procure pure populations of cells from complex, heterogeneous tissues under direct microscopic visualization. It can be applied to a wide range of cell preparation, including paraffin-embedded material. The morphology of the captured cells is retained, and DNA, RNA, and proteins can be extracted for molecular analysis. The potential ...

The amount of electrical energy produced over the lifetime of coal, LWR fission, DTfusion, and wind power plants is compared to the total amount of energy required to procure the fuel, build, operate, and decommission the power plants. The energy payback ratio varies from a low of 11 for coal plants to a high of 27 for DT-fusion plants. The magnitude of the energy investment and the source of t...

We show how to build an inductorless version of the classic Chua’s circuit. The goal is to build Chua’s circuit quickly and easily. To this end, only off-the-shelf components are used. A suitable inductor for Chua’s circuit is often hard to procure. Here, the inductor is replaced by a single op-amp synthetic inductor circuit. The synthetic inductor is novel in the sense that it is not a gyrator...

Procure Data Centre (PDC) is a coming forth patient data-centric framework of data interchange, large scale data centric applications. In which the data is been outsourced to be stored to general IT providers, such as cloud providers and how to assure their private data while being stored in the cloud servers. To secure the information govern over entree to their own file, it is a hopeful metho...

Power system security, congestion management, power quality and power regulations are major concepts that draw the attention of power researchers in deregulated surroundings. Security assessment is an issue of at most grandness under ‘open market access system’ to render authentic and procure electricity to its customers. The goal of Security assessment is to provide selective information to th...
