Anorexia nervosa: physical health and neurodevelopment at 16 and 21 years.

Fifty-one cases of anorexia nervosa (AN) and 51 age-, sex- and school-matched controls, all drawn from a community sample of 15- to 16-year-olds, were compared at 16 and 21 years with regard to physical health and neurodevelopment. The AN group had significantly lower mean height than the comparison group at age 21 years. There were significantly more individuals that were overweight and underweig

Modeling Diesel Engine Combustion with Detailed Chemistry Using a Progress Variable Approach

In this work, we present an unsteady flamelet progress variable approach for diesel engine CFD combustion modelling. The progress variable is based on sensible enthalpy integrated over the flamelet and describes the transient flamelet ignition process. By using an unsteady flamelet library for the progress variable, the impact of local effects, for example variations in the turbulence field, effec

Exploring the Notion of Experience in Feminist Thought

What are the theoretical and political implications of postmodern theory for a re-thinking of the concept? In these pages we will explore the uses and abuses of the concept of experience in contemporary feminist thought through the works of influential feminist intellectuals. This article ha
