ABSTRACT Objective To determine the effect of surgical menopause (risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy, RRSO) on sexual function and the modifying effects of HRT. Design Prospective observational study of women undergoing RRSO and age‐matched comparison group who retained their ovaries. Setting High‐risk clinics and general population.

Wave‐Based Quantification of Ion Composition in the Earth's Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere‐Coupling Region
Abstract Ion composition critically determines the basic kinetic characteristics of plasma and affects energy transmission of the magnetosphere. However, it exhibits significant variations with altitude, latitude, local time, longitude, and also with geomagnetic and solar activity.

Quantifying non-tariff measures in international agricultural trade: a tariff equivalent of technical barriers to trade on African horticultural exports to the European markets [PDF]
Fresh food and agricultural products from sub- Saharan Africa meet few tariff barriers because of preferential market access granted to ACP countries through Lomé and Cotonou Act. However, non-tariff barriers are still serious impediments to trade.

Simulating Cortical Feedback Modulation as Changes in Excitation and Inhibition in a Cortical Circuit Model. [PDF]
Cortical feedback pathways are hypothesized to distribute context-dependent signals during flexible behavior. Recent experimental work has attempted to understand the mechanisms by which cortical feedback inputs modulate their target regions.
