To perform a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to determine the impact of CD133+ bone marrow cells (BMC) on left ventricular (LV) function and clinical symptoms. 70 patients with chronic ischaemic heart disease and impaired LV function (left ventricul...

We propose a "weighted and sample-size adjusted" Kolmogorov-Smirnov type statistic to test the assumption of conditional symmetry maintained in the symmetrically trimmed least-squares (STLS) approach of Powell (1986b), which is widely used to estimate censored or trunca...

This study investigates Dutch listeners' perception of Korean stop triplets. Whereas Dutch distinguishes prevoiced and voiceless unaspirated stops, Korean distinguishes fortis, lenis, and aspirated stops. Here, perception of fortis, lenis, and aspirated bilabial (/pp/-/...

Men sometimes withdraw support for gender equality movements when their higher gender status is threatened. Here, we expand the focus of this phenomenon by examining it cross-culturally, to test if both individual- and country-level variables predict men's collective ac...

Abstract In the Austrian caves of Gamssulzen and Ramesch, two genetically distinct cave bears, Ursus ingressus and Ursus spelaeus eremus, apparently lived side by side for 15,000 years, together with brown bears Ursus arctos. The possible ecological partitioning of thes...

National models of integration are widely used to understand the relationship between nationalism and integration-immigration policies. In this methodological article, we highlight two key concerns. First, national models of integration emerged out of inductive and norm...

Several members of the C-C MCP (meta-cleavage product) hydrolase family demonstrate an unusual ability to hydrolyse esters as well as the MCPs (including those from mono- and bi-cyclic aromatics). Although the molecular mechanisms responsible for such substrate promiscu...

The finite momentum transfer $\mathbit{q}$ longitudinal optical response ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}^{L}(\mathbit{q},\ensuremath{\omega})$ of graphene has a peak at an energy $\ensuremath{\omega}=\ensuremath{\hbar}{v}_{F}q$. This corresponds directly to a quasiparticle peak ...
