Isabel Dick’s historical romance novel Wild Orchard was published in 1946. There are very scarce references to Dick in the history of Tasmanian and Australian fiction and even less critical engagement with her work. Set almost two decades after the events of the 1820s, the atrocities of Van Diemen’s Land’s macabre past appear within the novel as echoes; the pages are haunted by the island’s histor

A group of 51 cases with anorexia nervosa (including a total population of cases from one birth cohort) was compared with a sex-, age- and school-matched group of 51 cases on various measures of family demography and interactions. There was no support for the notion of a "typical anorexia nervosa family." However, there were more major problems in the anorexia group and there was also a higher pre

In recent years Genuine Savings (GS) has emerged as an indicator of weak sustainability and predictor of socio-economic well-being. This paper presents the first long-term GS estimates for Norway, covering the period from 1865 until 2018. The preliminary results indicate unsustainable development throughout most of the period leading up to the Second World War and positive GS since 1946, with a si

Purpose/Background: Appendectomy is the standard treatment of acute appendicitis (AA) but conservative treatment has gained success. The need for follow-up after conservatively treated AA is unclear. Hypothesis/Aim: This study evaluates follow-up, recurrence and appendiceal malignancy in conservatively treated AA. Methods/Interventions: This retrospective study included patients with conservativel

The two pyrazolopyridines, etazolate (SQ20009) and cartazolate (SQ65396), enhance the binding of [3H]diazepam to benzodiazepine receptor sites in rat brain. This enhancement is due to a change in affinity without a change in maximal binding. Pentobarbital also enhances [3H]diazepam binding by lowering the K(D). Pentobarbital gives a maximal enhancement of benzodiazepine binding slightly greater th

Wide-angle neutron scattering experiments combined with empirical potential structural refinement modeling have been used to study the detailed structure of decyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles in the presence of acid solutions of HCl or HBr. These experiments demonstrate considerable variation in micelle structure and water structuring between micelles in the two acid solutions and in comparis

By being predicated on supervised machine learning, pattern recognition approaches to myoelectric prosthesis control require electromyography (EMG) training data collected concurrently with every detectable motion. Within this framework, calibration protocols for simultaneous control of multifunctional prosthetic hands rapidly become prohibitively long - the number of unique motions grows geometri

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Syncope is a common condition with many possible causes, ranging from benign to life-threatening aetiologies. Establishing a diagnosis can be difficult and specialized syncope units, using cardiovascular autonomic tests (CAT) including head-up tilt test can increase the diagnostic yield. However, up to one fifth of examined patients have inconclusive CAT results. The aim of the

Owing to their millisecond-scale temporal resolution, magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) are well-suited tools to study dynamic functional connectivity between regions in the human brain. However, current techniques to estimate functional connectivity from MEG/EEG are based on a two-step approach; first, the MEG/EEG inverse problem is solved to estimate the source activi
