Does Patient Race/Ethnicity Influence Physician Decision-Making for Diagnosis and Treatment of Childhood Disruptive Behavior Problems
The use of medicinal plants in the trans-himalayan arid zone of Mustang district, Nepal
Background This study documents the use of medicinal plants from the Mustang district of the north-central part of Nepal. Traditional botanical medicine is the primary mode of healthcare for most of the population of this district and traditional Tibetan doctors (Amchi) serve as the local medical experts. Methods Field research was conducted in 27 communities of the Mustang district in Nepal from 2005-2007. We sampled 202 interviewees, using rand…
Wild Edible Plants Used by the People of Manang District, Central Nepal
Plant diversity plays an important role in maintaining the world's foods demands. Even today in Manang, a remote, mountainous district within the Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal, local people gather substantial amounts of wild plants to meet their daily nutritional needs, with several species also used for trade. There has been little documented regarding the use of these wild foods, which play a part in both daily nutrition, and survival duri…
Ethnomedicinal plants used by the people of Manang district, central Nepal
BACKGROUND: The district of Manang (2000 - 6000 m) is located in the Central Himalayas, Nepal. The majority of local inhabitants of the area are Gurungs, of Tibetan origin. The remoteness of the region has resulted in continued use of plants as medicine in an area where the ethnobotany has sparsely been documented. METHODS: Interviews were conducted with amchi (Tibetan medicinal practitioners), local healers (including priests locally known as 'l…

Patterns and Universals of Adult Romantic Attachment Across 62 Cultural Regions: Are Models of Self and of Other Pancultural Constructs
As part of the International Sexuality Description Project, a total of 17,804 participants from 62 cultural regions completedthe RelationshipQuestionnaire(RQ), a self-reportmeasure of adult romanticattachment. Correlational analyses within each culture suggested that the Model of Self and the Model of Other scales of the RQ were psychometrically valid within most cultures. Contrary to expectations, the Model of Self and Model of Other dimensions …

Liddington Castle and the Battle of Badon: Excavations and Research 1976
Small-scale excavations in 1976 demonstrated that the hillfort of Liddington Castle was first defended in the Late Bronze Age/Earliest Iron Age, though there had been earlier use of the hilltop. The initial defences were of timber and turf, later enlarged to a more massive dump rampart; there was evidence of at least two or three phases in these works. In the interior of the fort, a shaft of uncertain date was located, and a small pit or emplacem…

A Bronze Age barrow cemetery, and associated settlement at Roxton, Bedfordshire
The excavation of a cropmark complex (TL157535) on the flood plain of the Great Ouse concentrated on the examination of five ring-ditches and parts of a system of associated rectilinear enclosures and other features.Although three of the ring-ditches surrounded no surviving burial, all could be shown to be the surviving structures of a Bronze Age barrow cemetery. Carbon dates from the two surviving urned primary cremations gave a construction dat…
British Iron Age Strap-Unions
Strap-unions of the types discussed in this study were made during the later part of the pre-Roman Iron Age and during the earliest part of the Roman occupation of Britain. Their distribution (fig. 1) and details of their chronology and cultural associations and also the evidence for their precise use are considered in the concluding sections of this paper
The Hoard from West Buckland, Somerset
The small Middle Bronze Age hoard from West Buckland, Somerset has been assumed to be lost since its publication in 1880. Plaster casts still exist of the objects in the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford. Parallels are given for these objects and their chronology discussed. The way in which the casts may have reached the collection is considered. The circumstances of the find are also discussed, with the possibility that these objects may be from a buri…
The Physiology of Sledge Dogs
In 1954 and 1955 the author was stationed at Hope Bay in Graham Land, as one of the twelve men at Base D of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. During this time an investigation was carried out into the physiology of sledge dogs. This investigation was divided into two main parts: the first was a study of the sledging diet, and the second of the factors affecting the work output of sledge dogs
The breeding and maintenance of sledge dogs
One of the logical reasons for exploration is to collect the maximum of information in a specified time; therefore planning should be based on an appreciation of the pregnable gaps in as many fields of science as possible. Present Antarctic exploration is neglecting the biological sciences and in particular those of an experimental nature. Figures published for the contingents from the British Commonwealth, France and Norway at present in Antarct…
