โœฆ Synopsis

The aim of this study was to compare intersex differences in the angular relationships of the head, the cervical column, and the true vertical in natural head posture (the "postural variables") for unselected samples of southern Chinese (n = 240) and British Caucasian (n = 80) 12-year-old children in Hong Kong.

For both samples the cervical spine was angulated significantly more forwardly in the females (P 5 0.001) and the head held higher relative to the spine. Cervical lordosis was also greater in the females and the cervical column of greater relative length.

Our findings are in agreement with comparable data previously reported for a northern Finnish population.

Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to analyze paraffin sections from I 2 Caucasian patients, we detected only the prototype F Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in 10 specimens from patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This is in contrast to the higher frequency of association of "f" variants

## Abstract Quantification of the relationships between snow and forest cover, including its removal through logging, insects or disease and its regrowth, is a prerequisite to assessing the effects of forestry practices on streamflow from montane and boreal forest watersheds. Over a 3 year period,
