This paper discusses organisational experiences with consortia in Sweden, especially in the maintenance and further development of a complex national computer based system for student admission and documentation and other IT services about students. It summarizes an approach that may help solve a problem that is common in European university systems: how to manage the transition from centralise...

Brachydactyly type E (BDE; MIM#113300) is characterized by shortening of the metacarpal, metatarsal, and often phalangeal bones, and predominantly affects postaxial ray(s) of the limb. BDE may occur as an isolated trait or as part of a syndrome. Isolated BDE is rare and in the majority of cases has unknown genetic background. Originally, molecular cause of isolated BDE has been unravelled in 2 ...

This paper proposes a critical examination of the wholism that Cartwright contemplates. The first part spells out the consequences of this position – notably our principled ignorance of nature as a whole. The second part considers that physical theory which is widely claimed to exhibit some sort of wholism, namely quantum physics. I sketch a wholistic model of quantum physics and compare this m...

The visuo-spatial perceptual abilities of individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) were investigated in two experiments. Experiment 1 measured the ability of participants to discriminate between oblique and between nonoblique orientations. Individuals with WS showed a smaller effect of obliqueness in response time, when compared to controls matched for non-verbal mental age. Experiment 2 investi...

Although numerous molecules have been associated with synaptic cell adhesion, there has been little conclusive evidence linking them to specific effects on synapse formation and function. By searching vertebrate sequence databanks, a novel homophilic synaptic cell adhesion molecule called SynCAM has been found which is homologous to members of the immunoglobulin-like (Ig) superfamily and in vit...

Parental emotional distress, particularly high maternal anxiety, is one of the most consistent predictors of child anxiety treatment outcome. In order to identify the cognitive, affective and behavioural parenting characteristics of mothers of children with anxiety disorders who themselves have an anxiety disorder, we assessed the expectations and appraisals of 88 mothers of anxious children (4...

s of the 1 MC-GARD Meeting, 3–5 May 2007: Thursday 3 May 104 identified a set of genes that lie on genomic regions that are commonly amplified or deleted in both murine and human Brca1 or Brca2 tumors. We are currently investigating which of these genes could be driving the selection of these different amplicons or deletions. O2 09.45 – 10.00 COMPREHENSIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF GENOMIC ABERRATION...
