| 402 |  | Paiva, Marie Clare P. | Adventures in an Ethiopian library | During my sabbatical time from mid-September 2007 to mid-March 2008, I worked as a volunteer librarian at Addis Ababa University (AAU) in the Institute of Ethiopian Studies Library (IESL) on a collection development project in Ethiopia. | University libraries; Collection development; Ethiopian studies | 2008 |
| 403 |  | Martin, Jim | Aerodynamic drag area of cyclists determined with field-based measures | Aerodynamic drag is an important factor in the performance of competitive track and road cyclists. Recently we used wind-tunnel testing to validate a practical measure of aerodynamic drag derived from a field test. We present here instructions for performing the field test on a straight flat road or... | 2006-01-01 | |
| 404 |  | Hawkes, Kristen | Affluent hunters? Some comments in light of the Alyawara case | Our recent analysis (O'Connell and Hawkes in press) of plant food collecting among the Alyawara, a central Australian hunting group, shows that the cost of subsistence is sometimes quite high, far higher than the current conven. tional wisdom regarding hunters would suggest. We infer from available ... | 1981-01-01 | |
| 405 |  | Mallat, Chibli | After Kosovo: Secession in the Middle East | A federal state is better than the division of the land. This is also true for Kosovo and the other countries in the Balkans, as it is for Sudan and Yemen. The ICJ Kosovo ruling is good for secessionists, bad for democrats, and devastating for order in the planet. | 2010-09-02 | |
| 406 |  | Li, Minqi | After neoliberalism: empire, social democracy, or socialism? | Analyzes political doctrines such as imperialism, social democracy and socialism as a possible economic trend after the neoliberalism era.

| 407 |  | Neimoyer, Susan | After the rhapsody: George Gershwin in the Spring of 1924 | The year 1924 was a banner period in the early career of the young George Gershwin. The astonishingly successful premiere of the Rhapsody in Blue with Paul Whiteman's orchestra in 12 February 1924, in some ways made it the year of the Rhapsody. Thanks to the business acumen that prompted Whiteman to... | 2014-01-01 | |
| 408 |  | Gondolo, Paolo | AGAPE, a microlensing search in the direction of M31: status report | The M31 galaxy in Andromeda is the nearest large galaxy after the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. It is a giant galaxy, roughly 2 times as large as our Milky Way, and has its own halo. As pointed by some of us [1, 2] and independantly by A. Crotts [3], M31 provides a rich field of stars to searc... | AGAPE; Andromeda Gravitational Amplification Pixel Experiment; Microlensing; MACHO; Massive compact halo objects | 1995 |
| 409 |  | Gondolo, Paolo | AGAPE: a search for dark matter in M31 by microlensing effects on unresolved stars | M 31 is a very tempting target for a microlensing search of compact objects in galactic haloes. It is the nearest large galaxy, it probably has its own dark halo, and its tilted position with respect to the line of sight provides an unmistakable signature of microlensing. However most stars of M 31... | M31; AGAPE; Pixel method; Galaxy; Halo; Cosmology; Gravitational lensing | 1997 |
| 410 |  | Gondolo, Paolo | AGAPE: andromeda gravitational amplification pixel experiment | The aim of the AGAPE (Andromeda Gravitational Ampli_x000C_cation Pixel Experiment), experiment which has been _x000C_rst proposed in June 1992 is to examine the distribution of massive astrophysical compact halo objects ((MACHO's) which possibly are in the galactic haloes and which could account for... | AGAPE; Andromeda Gravitational Amplification Pixel Experiment; Microlensing; MACHO; Massive compact halo objects | 1997 |
| 411 |  | Gondolo, Paolo | AGAPEROS: searching for microlensing in the LMC with the pixel method. I. Data treatment and pixel light curves production | Recent surveys monitoring millions of light curves of resolved stars in the LMC have discovered several microlensing events. Unresolved stars could however signi _x000C_cantly contribute to the microlensing rate towards the LMC. Monitoring pixels, as opposed to individual stars, should be able to ... | Data analysis techniques; Halo; Galaxies; Gravitational lensing; Pixel method; Large Magellanic Cloud; LMC | 1999 |
| 412 |  | Gondolo, Paolo | AgapeZ1: a large amplification microlensing event or an odd variable star towards the inner bulge of M31 | AgapeZ1 is the brightest and the shortest duration microlensing candidate event found to date in the Agape experiment. It occurred only 4200 from the centre of M31 at RA = 0h42m41:47s and Dec = 41°16'39.1" (J2000). Our photometry shows that the half intensity duration of the event is 5.3 days and ... | AgapeZ1; Galaxy; Halo; Cosmology; Gravitational lensing; M31; Pixel method | 1999 |
| 413 |  | Battin, Margaret P. | Age rationing and the just distribution of health care: is there a duty to die? | These lines express a view again stirring controversy: that the elderly who are irreversibly ill, whose lives can be continued only with substantial medical support, ought not to be given treatment; instead, their lives should be brought to an end. It should be recognized, as one contemporary politi... | 1987 | |
| 414 |  | Wright, Scott D. | Age wave is here : the aging of the baby boomers November 2010 | Paul C. Light (1998) wrote one of the first books to examine the complexities of the baby boom generation and their future implications and impact. The book titled, "Baby Boomers", investigated what unified and what divided the generation and reflected on the potential for "golden days" (would it b... | 2010-08 | |
| 415 |  | Battin, Margaret P. | Age-rationing and the just distribution of health care: Is there a duty to die? | The author analyzes the argument that a policy involving distributive justice in the allocation of scarce health care resources, based on the strategy of rational self interest maximation under a veil of ignorance (Rawls/Daniels), would result in an age rationing system of voluntary, socially encour... | Health care providers; Death; Euthanasia | 1987-01 |
| 416 | | Hawkes, Kristen | Age-related decline in ovarian follicle stocks differ between chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and humans | Similarity in oldest parturitions in humans and great apes suggests that we maintain ancestral rates of ovarian aging. Consistent with that hypothesis, previous counts of primordial follicles in postmortem ovarian sections from chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) showed follicle stock decline at the same ... | 2015-01-01 | |
| 417 |  | Chamberlin, Ralph Vary | Agelenid spiders of the Genus Cicurina | The genus Cicurina was erected by Menge in 18(59 for the species jlranea cicurea Fabricius (1793). Since then, various species from North America have been added to this genus. Petrunkevitch, in his catalog of 1911, listed 11 species from this continent.

| 421 |  | Adler, Frederick R. | Aggregation and stability in parasite-host models | This paper generalizes the two-dimensional approximation of models of macroparasites on homogeneous populations developed by Anderson & May (1978), focusing on how the dispersion (the variance to mean ratio) of the equilibrium distribution of parasites on hosts is related to the stability of the equ... | Aggregation; Stability; Host-parasite models | 1992-04 |
| 422 |  | Battin, Margaret P. | Aging and ethics: philosophical problems in gerontology | Aging and Ethics addresses a crucial issue: In order to address the dilemmas aging poses concerning distributive justice in health care, don't we need to rethink both the personal and social significance of old age? | 1993 | |
| 423 |  | Dailey, Andrew T. | Agreement between orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons regarding a new algorithm for the treatment of thoracolumbar injuries: a multicenter reliability study | Introduction: Considerable variability exists in the management of thoracolumbar (TL) spine injuries. Although there are many influences, one significant factor may be the treating surgeon's specialty and training (ie, orthopedic surgery vs. neurosurgery). Our objective was to assess the agreement ... | Thoracolumbar injuries; Rating; Classification; TLISS; Neurosurgery; Interspeciality reliability | 2006 |
