Understanding the socio-psychological mechanisms that determine the public acceptability of road pricing could be a key for its implementation in urban environments where this is a viable scenario. Studying the attitudes of older people is of particular importance due to the ageing of the populations in the industrialised democracies, the high political engagement of older people, and their vul...

An artificial hybrid hemoglobin cu(Co)P(Fe), the (Y and p subunits of which contain cobaltous protoporphyrin IX and ferrous protoporphyrin IX, respectively, and its complementary hybrid cu(Fe)P(Co), were prepared and examined by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The fully oxy EPR spectra of cu(Co)p(Fe) and cu(Fe)P(Co) differ in their hyperfine splitting from each other, showing diff...

This study has been performed in order to categorize and measure usage of different information sources and types in a well defined stage of clinical work. The underlying motivation is to improve computer-supported presentation and retrieval of relevant information and to be able to evaluate the functionality of a future improved interface to the electronic patient record (EPR). By observing an...

Three five-coordinate, high spin manganese(ii) "picket fence" porphyrin complexes, [Mn(TpivPP)(L)] (TpivPP = α,α,α,α-tetrakis(o-pivalamidophenyl)porphyrinato; L = 1-MeIm (1-methylimidazole), 1-EtIm (1-ethylimidazole) and 2-MeHIm (2-methylimidazole)), are synthesized and studied by single-crystal X-ray, UV-vis and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Structural parameters are in...

Ontologies are the essential glue to build interoperable systems and the talk of the day in the medical community. In this paper we present the ontology of medical therapies developed in the course of the Oncocure project, aimed at building a guideline based decision support integrated with a legacy Electronic Patient Record (EPR). The therapy ontology is based upon the DOLCE top level ontology...

X-band EPR spectra of imidazol ate-bridgcd [(glyval)Cu-im-Cu-(glyvai)]Na and [(glyval)Cu-im-Zn(glyvai)]Na,where glyval = glycylvaline, im = imidozolate ion, are described.The EPR and electronic spectra of related mononuclear complexes viz., aquoglycylvalinato copper(ll) and imidazole glycylvalinato copper(ll) are also described. A pH dependent EPR study of frozen 50% aqueous DMSO solution of [(...
