AIM To evaluate self-assessed level of clinical skills of graduating medical students at Zagreb University School of Medicine and compare them with clinical skill levels expected by their teachers and those defined by a criterion standard. METHOD The study included all medical students (n=252) graduating from the Zagreb University School of Medicine in the 2004-2005 academic year and faculty ...

Intracellular concentrations of cyclic AMP increase when cells are deprived of serum. Studies with the mouse fibroblast line 3T3, an SV40-transformed subline of 3T3, and six different revertant lines derived from this clone show that a marked increase in cyclic AMP occurs only when the serum concentration is reduced below the minimum necessary for growth of a given line. Conversely, density-dep...

neither the ash‘arites nor kierkegaard’s systems of theology are anti-rational, for kierkegaard regards the contradiction present in the object of faith as absolute rather than logical, suggesting thereby the existential dialectics for understanding this contradiction instead of resolving it. the ash‘arites also hold that one can understand the existence of god through absolute reason, or reaso...

The volume and diversity of biological information to be integrated in comparative bioinformatics studies continues to grow. Increasingly, the information is unstructured and without appreciable annotation necessary to make the necessary associations for comparative analysis. The FPGA and the Cray XD1 in particular provide a means to rapidly generate the dynamic metadata information needed to e...

In this paper we solve the problem of the existence of rational realizations of response maps. Sufficient and necessary conditions for a response map to be realizable by a rational system are presented. We provide also the characterization of the existence of rationally observable and canonical rational realizations for a given response map.

The dominant view of design in information systems and software engineering, the Rational Model, views design and engineering as a methodical, plan-centered, approximately rational process of optimizing a design candidate for known constraints and objectives. It persists despite extensive empirical evidence that it does not reflect design practice and no evidence that attempts to adopt rational...

Necessary conditions are obtained for certain types of rational delay differential equations to admit a non-rational meromorphic solution of hyper-order less than one. The equations obtained include delay Painlevé equations and equations solved by elliptic functions.
