Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas fluorescens were used to develop monoculture biofilms in a bioreactor rotating system using a stainless steel cylinder for biofilm formation. The biofilms were allowed to grow for 7 days, exposed continuously to a Reynolds number of agitation (ReA) of 2,400. Afterwards, the biofilms were characterised in terms of respiratory activity, amount of biomass, cellular ...

El fue generado a partir estancia internacional UNESCO/ICDE Movimiento Educativo Abierto América Latina 2019. implementó Moodle enero julio del 2021. impartido tres instituc...

Spondyloarthropathies constitute a group of autoimmune diseases of special interest because of their tight association with the MHC class I molecule HLA-B27 and the bacterial triggering of some clinical forms called reactive arthritis (ReA). One current hypothesis is the presentation by HLA-B27 of a so-called arthritogenic peptide to T cells. To better focus on the relevant T cell populations w...

The safety, postoperative pain, and costs associated with a newly developed, radially expanding access (REA) system for laparoscopic surgery were evaluated. This prospective, patient-blinded, self-controlled study was conducted at a free-standing surgicenter. Nineteen women underwent various outpatient laparoscopic surgical procedures consecutively between November 1994 and February 1995. In ea...

Diminished capacity survives in California as a severely attenuated mens rea defense known as diminished actuality. Some other states have similar limited strict mens rea defenses. The lost advantages of California's former expanded concept of diminished capacity are reviewed. As opposed to the all-or-none insanity defense, mens rea defenses permit the trier of fact to find gradations of guilt ...

A modification to the relaxed eddy accumulation (REA) flux measurement technique is proposed which maximizes the scalar mixing ratio difference in updrafts and downdrafts. This technique was developed with the goal of measuring the stable isotope (C/C and O/O) ratios of updraft and downdraft air and thus the net fluxes of CO2 and COO. Current mass spectrometer precision is small relative to mea...

Difficulties of learning from nonstationary data stream are generally twofold. First, dynamically structured learning framework is required to catch up with the evolution of unstable class concepts, i.e., concept drifts. Second, imbalanced class distribution over data stream demands a mechanism to intensify the underrepresented class concepts for improved overall performance. To alleviate the c...

This research proposes an ontological model for accounting information systems (AIS) based on the Bunge-Wand-Weber (BWW) modeling constructs. The proposed model is derived from the Resource-Event-Agent (REA) accounting model. REA is a well-known model for AIS and has recently been proposed as an AIS domain ontology. REA is grounded on event-based accounting theories and its sound underlying con...

Clinical endpoints relevant for relative effectiveness assessment (REA) reflect how patients feel, function, or survive. Outcome data requested by health technology assessment (HTA) bodies in Europe to support reimbursement of an anticancer drug are based on final endpoints coming from completed comparative phase 3 trials; overall survival improvement is the preferred criterion for the demonstr...

BACKGROUND Randomized controlled trials provide robust data on the efficacy of interventions rather than on effectiveness. Health technology assessment (HTA) agencies worldwide are thus exploring whether real-world data (RWD) may provide alternative sources of data on effectiveness of interventions. Presently, an overview of HTA agencies' policies for RWD use in relative effectiveness assessmen...
