Great Naval Battles of the Twentieth Century: Tsushima, Jutland, Midway
No full textIn the history of civilizations, sea power has always played a preponderant role. This symbol of a nation's scientific and military genius has very often been the deciding factor during major conflicts, putting the names of several clashes down into legend. With this collection, Jean-Yves Delitte and Giuseppe Baiguera plunge you into the heart of three of the twentieth century's greatest naval battles
An Unusual Triple-Decker Variant of the Tetragonal BaAl4-Structure Type: Synthesis, Structural Characterization, and Chemical Bonding of Sr3Cd8Ge4 and Eu3Cd8Ge4.
No full textReported are the synthesis and the crystal structures
of the new ternary phases Sr3Cd8Ge4 and Eu3Cd8Ge4. The
structures of both compounds have been established by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction methods. They crystallize in the tetragonal space group I4/mmm (No. 139, own structure type, Pearson symbol tI30) with Z = 2, and lattice parameters as follows: a = 4.4941(14) A; c = 35.577(7) A for Sr3Cd8Ge4, and a = 4.4643(12) A; c = 35.537(9) A for Eu3Cd8Ge4, respectively. The most prominent feature of the structure is the complex [Cd2Ge] polyanionic framework, derived by unique ordering of the Cd and Ge atoms in fragments that bear resemblance to the BaAl4 structure
type. Temperature dependent DC magnetization measurements indicate that Eu3Cd8Ge4 displays Curie−Weiss paramagnetic behavior with no sign of magnetic ordering in the measured range. Theoretical considerations of the electronic structure on the basis of the tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital (TB-LMTO-ASA) method are also presented and discussed
Diet choice exaggerates food hoarding, intake and pup survival axross reproduction
No full textSiberian hamsters increase food intake and hoarding during pregnancy and lactation, perhaps to compensate for large decreases in body fat ( �50%). We tested the effects of diet choice on these responses in pregnant, lactating and virgin hamsters housed in a simulated burrow system. Hamsters were offered pellet chow (PC) or a choice of sunflower seeds (SS), rabbit chow (RC) and PC. Pregnant or lactating PC-fed hamsters had increased food intake and hoard size compared with virgins, effects exaggerated by diet self-selection. The pregnancy-induced increases and lactation-induced decreases in body mass were enhanced and diminished by diet self-selection, respectively. Pregnant self-selecting hamsters ate relatively more carbohydrate and less fat and hoarded less carbohydrate and more fat than their virgin counterparts (protein not affected). Lactating and virgin self-selecting hamsters both ate and hoarded relatively more carbohydrate than protein or fat compared with PC-fed hamsters but were not different from each other. Litter and pup sizes were similar at birth, but pups from self-selecting mothers had decreased lipid content (50%) compared with pups from PC-fed mothers, whereas at weaning they were heavier but not fatter. Only lactating PC-fed mothers cannibalized their pups ( �60% eaten, 8/10 litters). The pregnancy-induced increased eating and hoarding of carbohydrate may have helped meet immediate energy needs sparing dwindling lipid reserves, whereas the decreased fetal lipid investment may have helped conserve energy in anticipation of the increased demands of lactation. The diet-induced exaggerated caloric intake and food hoard size of lactating hamsters may have promoted pup growth and survival. D 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved
An Examination of Bipolar Disorder in Children
No full textThe phenomenon of bipolar patterns in children has gained considerable attention in the past couple of decades. The application of current DSM-IV criteria for Bipolar Disorder to persons under the age of 18 has been met with both acceptance and controversy. The purpose of this review is to examine the clinical presentation of youth diagnosed with bipolar disorder, issues that arise with the diagnosis in youth and current and future directions of the phenomenon of bipolar disorder in children
Stars that Never Shine: Seventeenth-century Women and a Crushing Chauvinistic Culture
No full textIrrespective of their astuteness, quality, and social station, women have been targets of impudence and abuse in a world where men exercise power with immunity. Viewed as models of compliance and ingrained morality in an avid patriarchal system, seventeen-century women, especially as seen in John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi were dominated and controlled by insecure men in a hostile society, where the savvy and strong Duchess of Malfi is forced to surrender her life to the impulses of low-ranking men. As an epitome of the struggling generation of women who had been ruled and ruined by their male counterparts, the Duchess’ thirst for freedom provokes pain and death as she dares question the status quo
