	Human Communication Technologies Lab
		Results of the literature search indicate that there have been efforts in the past to address the problem of vocal tract aeroacoustics, but that very often a series of simplifications are used to reduce the problem to a manageable size.
		Most commonly, the profile of the vocal tract is broken down into small pieces, represented by uniform segments of various sizes and the effect of each segment and the intersections between adjacent segments are then represented mathematically using electrical (transmission line theory) or mechanical (spring-mass model) analogy.
		This is primarily a result of the air passing through the vocal tract becoming turbulent, resulting in the creation of a sound source which is influenced by the vocal tract as it propagates through it to the exit.

		Literature on inflammation-related genes and the apoptotic balance in pre-malignant and malignant conditions in the gastro-intestinal tract is still scarce and conflicting.
		In this review, we aim to give an overview of the existing literature and we will focus on inflammation- and apoptosis-related genes in the sequence of normal epithelium-inflamed epithelium-metaplasia-dysplasia-cancer in the gastrointestinal tract, in particular esophagus (Barrett's esophagus: BE), stomach (gastritis) and colon (inflammatory bowel disease: IBD).

	eMedicine - Alimentary Tract Duplications : Article by Marc Michalsky, MD
		Relevant Anatomy: A recent review of literature regarding alimentary tract duplications in more than 500 patients reveals a widely varied anatomic distribution (see Image 1).
		Preoperative details: Although the diagnosis of alimentary tract duplication often is not made until the patient is in the operating room, preoperative preparation is based on standard surgical principles of adequate hemodynamic status and the use of appropriate preoperative medications as deemed necessary (eg, antibiotics).
		Radiography of the chest and abdomen: Preoperative diagnosis of alimentary tract duplications is often difficult.

	Impact of Dietary and Environmental Factors on Microbial Communities of the Avian GI Tract
		Bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract derive most of their energy for reproduction and growth from dietary compounds, which are either resistant to attack by digestive fluids or absorbed so slowly that bacteria can successfully compete for them.
		Dirty litter and other animal management parameters affect microbial composition of the chicken GI tract both directly by providing a continuous source of bacteria and indirectly by weakening the physical condition and defence of the birds.
		Furthermore, most of the bacteria in the GI tract of the broiler chicken seem to represent species different from any of those deposited in the public sequence databases.

	Spotlight 5: Respiratory Infections
		One strategy for future research in the control of respiratory tract infections in child care would be to increase the individual child's immunity to the most important respiratory agents.
		No significant difference in the rates of illness from respiratory tract infections was found in centers with interventions and those without.
		A survey of current literature reveals no published data describing a successful intervention to reduce the risk of upper respiratory diseases in child care centers.

	SFB 496Teilprojekt B4Abstract
		Moralizing literature from various social milieus written between the 12th and the beginning of the 16th century offers plentiful material for research; it aims directly at regulating human behaviour, and likewise, it aspires to profess its value claims.
		By this, we shall be able to learn more about the contribution of didactic literature to the process of communication about society and its values.

		Abstract: The literature was reviewed to quantify the risk of complications related to the relief of obstruction in urinary retention.
		The level of urinary tract obstruction is variable, dependent on the underlying disease, and may range from the loop of Henle to the urethral meatus.
		Abstract: Urinary tract obstruction is a frequent cause of acute renal failure that is potentially life threatening but reversible, if it is promptly recognized and corrected.

	Islam In The Bible
		In 1726 he wrote in his tract Dagon fallen upon his stumps, `Is it not as gross an Absurdity to say, the One God of Heaven and Earth, is Three or Four Persons, as to say, the One King of Great Britain and Ireland, is Three or Four Persons?
		A good example is Edward Elwall, prominent eighteenth-century Baptist merchant and writer of religious literature.
		Despite the view of many Christians to the contrary, one need only refer to a host of Christian writers through the centuries to show that reasonable interpreters of the Bible have consistently upheld the doctrine of the unity of God throughout history.

	Children's Literature - Island 1
		These two works, in the very small format favored for children's books in the earlier nineteenth century, illustrate the overlap between children's literature and the religious tract.
		The Baptist tinker John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress (first published in 1678), and its second part about the pilgrim's wife Christiana (1684, shown here in a Philadelphia reprint of 1857), were not originally for children, but appealed because of their fairy-tale like allegory of giants and bravery.
		The instructional focus of children's books is also seen in this twice-monthly magazine, founded by Samuel Griswold Goodrich in 1833, which emphasized geography, travel, natural history, and simple technology, along with Bible stories.

	Chapter 2, Living Water to Light the Journey - Martin Roth Christian Commentary
		Many of these writers were, presumably, not religious, but just as a bus driver is expected to take a certain responsibility for the physical safety of passengers, so writers of children’s literature were assumed to hold a mandate for the moral education of their readers.
		Though published as far back as 1865, by Britain’s Religious Tract Society, it contains themes that make it a worthy precursor to much of the work that has flowed since from the pens, typewriters and personal computers of Australia’s talented legion of children’s book writers.
		Telling them they are helpless victims of society is scarcely the way to help.

	Puritan Literature for Children
		The cover and a page from a simplified version of Janeway's Token, published in London in 1830 by the Religious Tract Society.
		Two of these "moral songs" had the misfortune of being turned into infant-school recitation pieces which were later parodied by Lewis Carroll ("The Sluggard" and "Against Idleness and Mischief." Notice the play of light on the canopy of the bed and the use of perspective.
		The verses of Issac Watts' Divine Songs (1715) were composed of easy, often pretty lines, which gave more emphasis to praise and thankfulness as suitable religious emotions for a child, and displayed a gentleness new for his time, though the Puritan emphasis on the innate wickedness of children is still evident
