To elucidate the time course and processes underlying pre-movement modiWcation of planned actions, participants prepared to make an action at a time of their own choosing within a speciWed temporal window. In some conditions, participants prepared to make a single right index Wnger key press, whereas in others, they prepared to make a sequence of two key presses consisting of a right index Wnge...

The theory of Planned Behaviour is one of the models most frequently used in the literature to explore pro-environmental behaviour including recycling, travel mode choice, energy consumption, water conservation, food choice, and ethical investment (Stern, 2000; Staats, 2003). Armitage and Conner (2001) identified its application in 154 different contexts. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (Ajzen,...

BACKGROUND Goal of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the role of repeat whole brain radiotherapy in the palliative care of patients with brain metastases due to solid tumors. METHODS Data regarding demographic data, primary tumor, metastasis, radiotherapy and symptoms were compiled on 134 patients with cerebral metastases that received repeat whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in our c...

Multi-person action recognition requires models of structured interaction between people and objects in the world. This paper demonstrates how highly structured, multi-person action can be recognized from noisy perceptual data using visually grounded goal-based primitives and low-order temporal relationships that are integrated in a probabilistic framework. The representation, which is motivate...

The millions of deaths that occurred during China’s great famine of 1959-1961 represent one of the world’s greatest civil demographic disasters. Two primary hypotheses have been advanced to explain the famine. One is that China experienced three consecutive years of bad weather while the other is that national policies were wrong in that they reduced and misallocated agricultural production. Th...

intrusive luxation is the most severe type of dental injury with a complex healing sequence. pulp necrosis, root resorption (surface, inflammatory and replacement resorption), and defects in marginal periodontal bone healing are the main complications. treatment strategies can be either active, by repositioning (surgical or orthodontic extrusion), or passive, by spontaneous re‑eruption based on...

The MOBIlearn project aims to develop a re-usable architecture for delivering mobile learning experiences. A key component of this architecture is a context-awareness subsystem that is intended to tailor the content and options made available to a learner, depending on their current situation, preferences, and learning history. The context awareness subsystem has been developed alongside a hier...

The Ambulatory Surgery Centre of the Lausanne University Hospital was established in 1995 as a multispeciality unit comprising general surgery, plastic surgery, otorhinolaryngology, orthopaedics and urology. In its first 3 years of activity 873 general surgery procedures were performed, including biopsies, laparoscopies, inguinal hernia repair and vein stripping. An audit of these cases reveale...

The present ‘‘pandemic of diabetes mellitus’’ [1] calls for worldwide efforts to achieve control, including re-examination of the motives, methods and outcomes as well as the lessons learned in the course of a unique multinational study planned and carried through under the aegis of the Non-Communicable Division (NCD) of the World Health Organization (WHO) and with the assistance of the US Nati...

women were excluded from the trial. We also planned to treat as many male consorts as possible with the same course of nitrimidazine regardless of whether they had trichomoniasis or not. The women were re-examined as soon as possible after their initial treatment and again after the first and second menstrual periods following therapy. Clinical impressions were ignored and the initial diagnosis...
