A key recommendation of the 2018 Stonewall-commissioned “LGBT in Britain” report was that curricula, standards, training provided by medical schools should be reviewed order enco...

While previous research has been contradictory, potential grain yield responses and seed protein increases have led to con­ tinuing interest in N fertilizer application to soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Field experiments were conducted at seven lo­ cations from 1990 to 1991 in Alabama to determine soybean response to N fertilization at various growth stages. Treatments included a factorial a...

The endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia pipientis is known to infect a wide range of arthropod species yet less is known about the coevolutionary history it has with its hosts. Evidence of highly identical W. pipientis strains in evolutionary divergent hosts suggests horizontal transfer between hosts. For example, Drosophila ananassae is infected with a W. pipientis strain that is nearly identical...

Introduction: Early Apollo sample ages demonstrated an early intense bombardment by small bodies lasted until ~3.8 Ga, including a possible spike (Late Heavy Bombardment, or LHB) during a short interval just after 4.0 Gyr [1,2], which also affected other terrestrial planets [3,4]. Some data suggest the LHB affected asteroids [5] and Mars [6]. Recent dynamical models seek to explain the LHB [cf....

BACKGROUND It has been suggested that cigarette smokers will switch to alternative oral nicotine delivery products to reduce their health risks if informed of the relative risk difference. However, it is important to assess how smokers are likely to use cigarette alternatives before making predictions about their potential to promote individual or population harm reduction. OBJECTIVES This st...

This essay examines the collections of five rural midwestern public libraries to assess the presence of books with gay and lesbian content in the pre-Stonewall era. It considers how reviewers writing for standard library review sources (A.L.A. Catalog, Booklist, and H. W. Wilson’s Fiction Catalog) described these works. Throughout the first six decades of the twentieth century, most gay and les...

On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution protects the rights of any U.S. citizen to marry someone of the same sex if they so choose, joining 20 other countries who extend these same rights to all citizens. Many advocates of the civil and human rights of individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) hailed this as a definitive sig...

This article reports the findings of a study on the provision of LGBTrelated fiction to children and young people in U.K. public libraries and on library staff attitudes to this material. The term “LGBT” stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans, with “trans” being an umbrella term used to encompass transgender and transsexual people, cross-dressers, and other gender-variant people. The rese...

Globally, there is an imperative in providing access to appropriate and responsive health care for all citizens (World Health Organization, 2016). There increased interest how these concerns extend wider populations such those people identifying as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Queer or Questioning (LGBTQ+) (Government Equalities Office, 2018). However, remain significant gaps the researc...

INTRODUCTION As survey researchers, as well as reviewers, readers, and end users of the survey research literature, we are all too often disheartened by the poor quality of survey research reports published in the peer-reviewed literature. For the most part, poor quality can be attributed to 2 primary problems: (1) ineffective reporting of sufficiently rigorous survey research, or (2) poorly de...
