Conventional measures of income (di¢~butionatl ~nequatitieh, such as the G~~ coe66~clent, may not depict a realistic picture accross the individual sectors of an income distributional spectrum. Stratification into poon, middle cea6~ and a66tuent sectors generally provides a better understandin...

Previous studies have suggested that the small heat shock protein, HspB1, has a direct influence on the dynamics of cytoskeletal elements, in particular, filamentous actin (F-actin) polymerization. In this study we have assessed the influence of HspB1 phosphorylation on its interaction(s) with F-actin. We first determined the distribution of endogenous non-phosphorylated HspB1, phosphorylated H...

It has been remarked that CCD circuits, unlike transistor circuits, must A new approach to designing low-power, be monolithically integrated to function. compact, charge-coupled device (CCD), Unfortunately, confinement of the signal analog, VLSI circuits for signal charge to the semiconductor inhibits the processing is described. A charge domain implementation of circuit topologies in wire tran...

The innovations and improvements in digital imaging sensors and scanners, computer modeling, haptic equipments and e-learning technology, as well as the availability of many powerful graphics PCs and workstations make haptic-based rendering methods for e-learning documentation with 3-D modeling functionality feasible. E-Learning documentation is a new term in computing, engineering and architec...

OBJECTIVE To determine the level of involvement of clinical nurses accredited by the Universitat Jaume I (Spain) as mentors of practice (Reference Nurses) in the evaluation of competence of nursing students. METHODOLGY: Cross-sectional study, in which the "Clinical Practice Assessment Manual'' (CPAM) reported by reference 41 nurses (n=55) were analyzed. Four quality criteria for completion were...

The Oxford English Dictionary defines the word methodology as ‘the branch of knowledge that deals with method generally or with the methods of a particular discipline or field of study’. Subsequently, the word methodolgy also refers to ‘the study of the suitability of the techniques employed in it’. For software development methodology, the discipline or the field of study is, of course, softwa...
