How can historians of small spaces and cities focus on local events and issues and at the same time carry on conversations with peers in a disciplinar... [more]
Building on recent works that question a simplistic, White narrative of the history of academic oral history, this article focuses on the labors of Bl... [more]
We document a strong association between predation environment and life-history phenotypes in the Costa Rican livebearing fish Brachyrhaphis rhabdophora. Populations that co-occurred with piscine predators attained maturity at a smaller size, and produced
Background: The present study was conducted to examine the natural history of superficial bladder cancer. Methods: One hundred and forty-four patients with superficial bladder cancer who had been treated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB
Ten rats were given extended lever-press training on a fixed-interval (FI) 30-s food reinforcement schedule from the outset or following exposure to one or two previous reinforcement schedules. For 4 rats the previous schedule was either fixed-ratio 20, w
Objective. To assess the risk for alcohol abuse among individuals with a positive family history of alcohol abuse (FH+). Material and methods. The study population was a sample (n=8 890) drawn from a 1988 national survey on addictions in Mexico City's ur
Association between apolipoprotein E (apoE) gene polymorphism and lipid levels was studied in 164 nondiabetic first-degree relatives of persons with diabetes and 962 nondiabetic persons with no family history of diabetes. Sex-specific genotypic distributi
Population dynamics and production of C. luctuosa were compared in two reaches of the Aguera stream (northern Spain). This species showed univoltine winter life history in both sites. However, the start of the recruitment period, and the cohort production
An attempt is made to rationalize the effect of loading history on cyclic plasticity in terms of interaction between the cyclic plastic strain and the unidirectional plastic strain, which is either pre-set (pre-deformed materials) or inevitably arises dur
Discourse analysis has come to represent something of a 'growth industry' in both research and critical psychology. Despite the apparent indebtedness of many such methods of discourse analysis to Foucault, there exists no strictly Foucauldian method of
U-series ages from thermal ionisation mass spectrometry are reported here for the raised coral reefs of Futuna Island, which lies adjacent to the eastern margin of the backarc Futuna Trough in south Vanuatu, southwest Pacific. U-series ages from coral fro
Aims Familial clustering of diabetes and nephropathy suggests that either common environmental or inherited mechanisms are important in developing diabetic nephropathy. If an inherited mechanism is important, the albumin excretion rate might be increased
This article seeks to demonstrate how patients' oral testimony can usefully contribute to-and challenge the history of mental illness in the second half of the twentieth century, through the use of the concept of narrative frames. This work has emerged f
Analyses are made on the characteristics of cooling and undercooled solidification of multi-stage atomized aluminum droplets. Models are established for Newtonian cooling, highly undercooled heterogeneous nucleation and steady-state continuous growth. The
A series of three nursing case histories related to epilepsy care are presented to demonstrate the range of clinical nursing activity in an epilepsy clinic and to pose the question whether any of these activities, deemed essential by both clinician and nu
Synchronic and allochronic data sets consisting of phenotypic values of various life-history traits from five grayling Thymallus thymallus populations with common ancestors were analysed for the purpose of estimating evolution and divergence rates. The sy
Objectives: Many epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that an increased risk of breast cancer is associated with positive family history of this disease. Little information had been available on the relationship of breast cancer risk with family histor
