The crisis originated in the bursting of a house price bubble driven by an excessive credit expansion in the US, which eventually pushed the global financial system to the brink of collapse. In some countries, such as Spain or Ireland, the crisis was further compounded by the bursting of their own housing bubbles. In this regard, the current crisis is an excellent example. Historical evidence s...

Strategies to transition the theory from a multihospital system conceptual level to a departmental-specific operational level are discussed. Benefits and barriers in implementing nursing theory within the practice setting are also revealed.

They are of philosophical interest because their interpretation makes use of two ideas inspired by Jean Buridan: (1) a proposition may correspond to the world and yet be untrue because it is semantically deviant, and (2) logically valid arguments preserve correspondence with...

This paper presents a multiresolution system for volumetric texture analysis. The originality of this system partially originates from its use of combinations of perceptual texture features that correspond to adjectives commonly used by humans to describe textures. To approximate these features, we use a combination of different families of texture analysis methods rather than a single texture ...
