Le Petit Machiavellian Prince: Effects of Latent Toxoplasmosis on Political Beliefs and Values.

Humans infected by express no specific symptoms but manifest higher incidence of many diseases, disorders and differences in personality and behavior. The aim of this study was to compare the political beliefs and values of -infected and -free participants. We measured beliefs and values of 2315 responders via an online survey (477 -infected) using the Political Beliefs and Values Inventory (PI34).

Rhesus-minus phenotype as a predictor of sexual desire and behavior, wellbeing, mental health, and fecundity.

Background: Since its discovery in the 1930s, the effects of Rh phenotype on human health and wellbeing, with the exception of the effects of Rh-negativity of a mother on the risk of hemolytic anemia of Rh-positive children, has only rarely been studied. In the last few years, however, several studies have shown that Rh-negative subjects have worse health and performance in certain tests than their Rh-positive peers. Nothing is known about the effect of Rh phenotype on the quality of life of subjects as measured by a standard instrument.

Study of subgridding in SAR computation for the cochlea.

A 3D subgridding technique is used to model the specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution in the isolated cochlea exposed to mobile phone radiation at 1750 MHz using the FDTD method. The cochlea is modeled using an increasing spatial resolutions of 1, 1/3, 1/5, and 1/7 mm. First simulations were performed at 1 mm spatial resolution.
