Although early alcohol use is a strong predictor of future alcohol problems and adolescent drinking is associated with risky sexual behavior predictive of early childbearing, reproductive dysfunctions associated with delayed childbearing have been reported in adult drinkers. We examine the relationship between lifetime history of alcohol dependence (AD) and timing of first childbirth across reproductive development.

    We present analysis of the dust in the disc of UGC 3995B based on archival Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 and PPAK IFU data from the CALIFA survey's first Data release. From the HST F606W image, we construct an extinction map by modeling the Isophotes of the background galaxy UGC 3995A and the resul...
