Introduction: Misoprostol (Cytotec) was primarily made for treating gastric ulcers. However today it is mostly used for abortion, treating postpartum hemorrhage, and for induction of labor. The tablet contains 200 µg of misoprostol, yet the dosages used for induction of labor are much smaller (25–50 µg), leading to uncertainty of dosage in daily use. Aim: To evaluate and compare the relative bioav

The Papuan language Kalamang has an adnominal demonstrativeopa, which marksreferents that are cognitively accessible either because they are common ground orbecause they are previously mentioned in the discourse. It is mainly an endophoricdemonstrative which has tracking and recognitional uses, but it can be used ex-ophorically as well. It can be used for both maintaining and reintroducing refer-e

We review recent progress made in understanding the role of medium polarization on superuidity in finite nuclei and in the inner crust of neutron stars. The interweaving of collective and quasiparticle degrees of freedom is treated within the framework of Nuclear Field Theory, propagating the basic renormalization processes through the Nambu-Gor’kov equations. It is then possible to obtain quantit

This chapter presents a state-of-the-art overview of numerical methods for single-phase flow and two-phase flow in microchannel heat exchangers, as well as the relevant single-phase and two-phase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications. Governing equations are given for both single-phase flow and two-phase flow with and without phase change. For single- phase flow, scaling effects, such as

Frede Castberg belonged to the post-World War II Norwegian establishment. His father, Johan Castberg, was a parliamentarian and a member of the Norwegian political aristocracy. Frede Castberg was professor of constitutional law at Oslo University from 1928 to 1963. In a period when antimetaphysic and realistic legal thought dominated Scandinavian legal culture, Castberg represented a more natural

Vegetation is an important component in the Earth system, providing a direct link between the biosphere and atmosphere. As such, a representative vegetation pattern is needed to accurately simulate climate. We attempt to model global vegetation (biomes) with a data-driven approach, to test if this allows us to create robust global and regional vegetation patterns. This not only provides quantitati

This policy report focuses on religion-state relations in Georgia and argues that competition between the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church and the Muslim community have had an impact on state involvement with humanitarian programmes. The Georgian case stands out as the country experienced three waves of internal forced displacement. Each wavehas shown that religious

The present paper is little more than a modest “spin-off” from a larger historical project on intelligence in the early PRC. It raises and comments on some central aspects of PRC HUMINT penetration (and attempted penetration) of what the People’s Daily at the time called the “espionage apparatuses of the American and Chiang Kai-shek bandit gangs.”
