Chronic fatigue syndrome or myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is a medical condition characterized by severe and prolonged fatigue that is not relieved by rest or attributed to any underlying medical or psychological condition. Individuals with CFS/ME are considered to have an increased risk of a wide range of comorbid conditions, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). The association between CFS/ME and CVD is not fully understood.

Uniqueness follows from two assumptions: faster than power-law falloff in high-energy scattering and the existence of some infinite sequence in momentum transfer at which higher-spin exchanges cancel. The string amplitude-including the mass spectrum-is an output of this bootstrap.

The purpose of this retrospective study is to perform an observational analysis of GES meals that are used within a national radiology practice to assess for compliance. It is hypothesized that despite having well-validated standardized meal protocols, there remains great variability in its use and interpretation.

- - The spatial distribution of component species in electroactive film devices is crucial for understanding their performance, influencing both transport rates and mechanical properties.
- - Specular neutron reflectivity (NR) is a technique that can profile individual species at "buried" interfaces, although it has traditionally had poor time resolution.
- - This study demonstrates improved NR measurements that allow for spatial and temporal resolution during processes like polypyrrole electrodeposition and copper deposition/dissolution, revealing insights into film homogeneity and complex solvent interactions.
The concept of emotional labor refers to the regulation and management of emotions within the workplace. This labor may involve a dissonance between the emotions that are internally felt and the emotions that can be externally expressed. The concept of emotional labor can be applied to the emotional management that occurs during research often when directly interacting with research participants.
