Physiological periostitis; a potential pitfall [PDF]
Physiological periostitis is a known radiological finding in infants aged between 1 and 6 months. Two children with physiological periostitis mistaken for non-accidental injury are described. In both these patients only one limb was imaged and failure to image the contralateral limb led to unnecessary skeletal survey and distress for the families. A 3

Physiological potential of chickpea seeds [PDF]
The chickpea crop is grown predominantly in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. India is the largest producing country, in Brazil production is scarce, leading the country to import almost all of what is consumed. Grains are a good source of carbohydrates, proteins and even essential amino acids.

Amylin: Pharmacology, Physiology, and Clinical Potential [PDF]
Amylin is a pancreatic β-cell hormone that produces effects in several different organ systems. Here, we review the literature in rodents and in humans on amylin research since its discovery as a hormone about 25 years ago. Amylin is a 37-amino-acid peptide that activates its specific receptors, which are multisubunit G protein-coupled receptors ...

Physiological potential of eggplant seeds [PDF]
The use and efficiency of vigor tests depend on the plant species and the development and, or adjustment of methodology, to obtain efficient procedures for evaluating seed physiological potential. The objective of this study was to compare different methods for evaluating the physiological potential of eggplant seeds (Solanum melongena L).

Modeling the pulse signal by wave-shape function and analyzing by synchrosqueezing transform [PDF]
We apply the recently developed adaptive non-harmonic model based on the wave-shape function, as well as the time-frequency analysis tool called synchrosqueezing transform (SST) to model and analyze oscillatory physiological signals.

Physiological potential of cauliflower seeds [PDF]
The assessment of seed physiological performance is essential to provide consistent information to compose quality control programs conducted by seed companies and allow prompt decisions to reduce post-harvest and commercialization problems. This research was carried to evaluate the efficiency of different procedures to determine cauliflower seed vigor.

Physiological drought responses improve predictions of live fuel moisture dynamics in a Mediterranean forest. [PDF]
The moisture content of live fuels is an important determinant of forest flammability. Current approaches for modelling live fuel moisture content typically focus on the use of drought indices.
