BACKGROUND In the continuing revision of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-V) "identity" is integrated as a central diagnostic criterion for personality disorders (self-related personality functioning). According to Kernberg, identity diffusion is one of the core elements of borderline personality organization. As there is no elaborated self-rating inventory to assess identity development ...

In this paper it is presented an Agency for Integration, Archive and Diffusion of Medical Information (AIDA), which configures a data warehouse, developed using Multi-Agent technology. AIDA is like a symbiont, with a close association with core applications present at any health care facility, such as the Picture Archive Communication System, the Radiological Information System or the Electroni...

Abstra t. In order to optimise maintenan e and in rease safety, the Royal Netherlands Navy initiated the development of a multihannel on-board data a quisition system for its Lynx heli opters. This AIDA (Automati Inight Data A quisition) system re ords usage and loads data on main rotor, engines and airframe. We used re nement in ombination with model he king to arrive at a formally veri ed pro...

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important pathogen that causes nosocomial infections generally associated with high mortality and morbidity in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Currently, little is known about the Quorum Sensing (QS)/Quorum Quenching (QQ) systems of this pathogen. We analyzed these mechanisms in seven clinical isolates of A. baumannii. Microarray analysis of one of these clinical isol...

In this demonstration, we show various querying capabilities of an application called AIDA. AIDA is developed to help the study of attention disorder in kids. In a different study [1], we collected several immresive sensory data streams from kids monitored in an immersive application called the virtual classroom. This dataset, termed immersidata is used to analyze the behavior of kids in the vi...

AIDA v4.0 is a freeware computer program that permits the interactive simulation of plasma insulin and blood glucose profiles for demonstration and teaching purposes. It has been made freely available, without charge, on the World Wide Web as a noncommercial contribution to continuing diabetes education. Since its Internet launch in 1996 over 23,000 people have visited the AIDA Web site (http:/...

The accessibility and availability of patient clinical information are a constant need. The Agency for Interoperation, Diffusion and Archive of Medical Information (AIDA) was then developed to ensure the interoperability among healthcare information systems successfully. AIDA has demonstrated over time the need for greater control over its agents and their activities as the need for monitoring ...

Background: Feeding behavior is regulated by a complex network which interacts via diverse signals from central and peripheral tissues. It is known dopaminergic and glutamatergic systems have crucial role on food intake regulation but scarce reports exist on their interaction in appetite regulation in broilers. OBJECTIVES: The present study was designed to examine the role of glutamatergic syst...

AIDA is an interactive educational diabetes simulator which has been made available without charge on the Internet. Since its launch on the World Wide Web in 1996 over 87,000 people have visited the AIDA Website--http://www.2aida.org--and over 22,000 copies of the program have been downloaded from there free-of-charge. The AIDA software is believed to be of use in recreating clinically realisti...
