Iceberg A23a boasts an area of approximately 3,900 square kilometers (1,500 square miles), making it more than twice the size of Greater London and 40 times the area of the city of Lisbon. Its impressive dimensions include a thickness of 400 meters (1,212 feet), almost twice as tall ...

Age-sex registers were compiled and updated for the east London general practices participating in a screening study for hypertension. Of 1435 addresses in the registers of two practices that were checked, 228 (16%) were incorrect, according to the return by the post office of the screening inv...
range (NR), carbon range (CR), mean distance to centroid (CD), mean nearest neighbour distance (MNND), and the standard deviation of MNND (SDMNND) (Layman et al.2007). Wider nitrogen and carbon isotope ranges suggest wider trophic diversity and a greater number of basal food sources exp...
A van der Waals' calculation employing the method of Hill shows that, for a given energy, the helium can approach more closely to the nitrogen by the latter path for distances where the repulsion outweighs the attractive (London) forces. Detailed quantum mechanical calculations indicate that the...
The lack of detailed life history (LH) information (e.g. age, growth, size at maturity, sex composition etc.) for many species of conservation importance l
The evolution of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is likely constrained by life history. Using phylogenetic comparative methods, we examined correlations between SSD among anurans and their life history traits, including egg size, clutch size, mating combat,
At greater angles, speeds remained between 1 and 2 m s-1. Moths also flew closer to the wall at flight angles deviating from the horizontal. An allometric analysis of the flight speeds of insects and birds suggests that M. sexta may be able to fly at 710 m s-1. We conclude that ...
We then compared mean gestational age and the risk of preterm delivery between twin pair types (boy-boy, boy-girl and girl-girl) (Table2). Compared to boy-boy pairs, mean gestational age was greater in both boy-girl [0.13 weeks; 95% CI 0.06 to 0.21 (p = 0.001)] and girl-girl...
We have previously shown that risks based on the number of fetuses at risk, rather than the number of total births, provides greater coherence between birth rates (and thus risks of early preterm birth), fetal growth restriction, and perinatal mortality [17, 21–23]. One important consequence...
