First, we des ribe a new output-sensitive algorithm for omputing the verti al de omposit...

In this paper, we advocate decentralised process modelling and suggest that understanding and modelling the development processes of individual development participants is the key to supporting collaborative development. Our approach relies on recognising individual developers’ states (“situations”) by analysing local development histories. Different situations can be used to trigger a variety ...

There is a growing body of opinion that psychology suffers from an elaborate research technology that overemphasizes theory verification and impairs thinking and discovery. Grounded theory is advanced as an approach to research that can address this crisis of method in psychology. The grounded approach is described and illustrated in terms of its application to psychotherapy process research. T...

Mammals can recognize a large variety of scents that give information about the environment, conspecifics, and other species. The present research topic is focused on " scents that matter, " i.e., scents that indicate stimuli which are crucial for the survival of an organism. These can be positively related stimuli like the smell of familiar conspecifics, mating partners, or food, but also nega...

Steroid hormones regulate a large array of developmental and physiological functions in target tissues. Most of the timehonored effects of sex steroids (androgens and estrogens) are mediated by nuclear receptors and altered transcriptional activity (genomic mechanism); however, a growing number of studies describe rapid steroid effects through nongenomic mechanisms of action, several signal tra...

BACKGROUND The influence of ethnicity on different aspects of psychiatric hospitalization is far from clear. THE AIM OF THE STUDY The main aim of the study was to compare the Arab and the Jewish inpatients, at the time of admission, for the demographic factors, severity of psychotic, and affective psychopathology and comorbid drug abuse rate.

it is easier to adapt a view if certain additional information is kept in the view. Such additional information includes keys of base relations, attributes involved in selection conditions, counts of the number of derivations of each tuple, additional aggregate functions beyond those requested, and identiiers indicating which subquery in a union each tuple came from. Depending on the type of an...

It’s a long way from the cell body of a neuron to its axonal tip—several feet or more in the longest human neurons, and, even in the smallest ones, the length of the axon can be hundreds of times the width of the cell. Transporting cargo along that distance is primarily the job of microtubules of the cytoskeleton, but it is aided in some small measure by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a system...
