Exceptionally preserved specimens of the Cambrian stem-group brachiopod Mickwitzia occidens Walcott, 1908 are described in detail from the Indian Springs Lagerstatte in Nevada, USA. Shell structure and preserved mantle setae from these specimens reveal a variable diagenetic (taphonomic) history and provide insight into the phylogenetic position of mickwitziids. Morphologic and morphometric compari

Background: Concerns have been raised about the quality of reporting in nutritional epidemiology. Research reporting guidelines such as the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement can improve quality of reporting in observational studies. Herein, we propose recommendations for reporting nutritional epidemiology and dietary assessment research by exte

Aim: To study the impact of aging on DNA methylation and mRNA expression in human liver. Experimental procedures: We analysed genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression in human liver samples using Illumina 450K and HumanHT12 expression BeadChip arrays. Results: DNA methylation analysis of ∼455,000 CpG sites in human liver revealed that age was significantly associated with altered DNA methyl

The book takes a new approach to the subject of ethnic cleansing. It is not about its history and not about the memories of the victims. It focuses instead on the present and investigates how the present-day population in a number of Eastern European cities (Wroclaw in Poland, Lviv and Chernivtsi in Ukraine, Pohořelice, Teplice nad Metují, Ústí nad Labem and Postoloprty in the Czech Republic, Zada

Recent studies have uncovered thousands of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in human pancreatic β cells. β cell lncRNAs are often cell type specific and exhibit dynamic regulation during differentiation or upon changing glucose concentrations. Although these features hint at a role of lncRNAs in β cell gene regulation and diabetes, the function of β cell lncRNAs remains largely unknown. In this stud

In this paper, we explore consumers’ in-store experiences and their components, from both a consumer and retailer perspective. This is a replication of a study we performed in 2006 and thus we also examine how the role of the physical store has changed over the last decade. We use the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) to improve our understanding of consumers’ in-store experiences. Moreover, we co

A nonlinear least squares method for continuous measurement ofthe air flow in a 'dynamic insulation' was presented. The methodis called the gradient method to indicate that the temperature gradientsin the insulation are used. The method includes one dimensionaltransient and steady state calculations ofthe heat transfer inthe insulation. The model was verified by analytical and numericalsimulations

A film on identity & hydropolitics in the Israeli occupied Golan Heights. Majdal Shams is a Syrian village in the Golan Heights, a water rich plateau located between Israel and Syria. The Syrian citizens of Majdal Shams and four other villages have been under Israeli occupation since the October war in 1973. After 40 years their on-going resistance is in the form of refusing Israeli citizenshi

The issue of the pro’s and coins with representatives from different interest group on corporate board is lively discussed. Will representatives from stakeholders work in the interest of the stake they represent or in the interest of the companies where they are a director? The issue has a renewed topicality as claim for e.g. consumer groups or experts on environmental issues have been raised. In

Objective: A finding consistent with the transdiagnostic approach to eating disorders is that about half of those with restricting anorexia nervosa (AN) eventually undergo a transition to the binge/purge (BP) subtype or to bulimia nervosa. Given evidence that individuals with bulimic symptoms exhibit elevated weights premorbidly, we tested the hypothesis that among those with AN, highest premorbid
