It is necessary to teach children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) delayed reinforcement skills. The aim of the present case study was examine effectiveness shaping procedure application in order increase appropriate wait time a six year old boy diagnosed ASD. In this we applied protocol, which based on procedure. during discrete trial training, natural environment teaching and home by pare...

Malicious attackers can cause severe damage (financially or to the environment) if they gain control of safety-relevant systems. This paper shows why the traditional disjoint treatment of security and fault tolerance has weaknesses if the attacker gains access to the fault tolerant system and how an integrated approach that utilize existing fault tolerance techniques could be an effective secur...

I show that it does not seem possible to change modern nuclear Hamiltonians to bind a tetraneutron without destroying many other successful predictions of those Hamiltonians. This means that, should a recent experimental claim of a bound tetraneutron be confirmed, our understanding of nuclear forces will have to be significantly changed. I also point out some errors in previous theoretical stud...

BACKGROUND There is concern that shrimp-allergic individuals may react to glucosamine-containing products as shrimp shells are a major source of glucosamine used for human consumption. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether shrimp-allergic individuals can tolerate therapeutic doses of glucosamine. METHODS Subjects with a history of shrimp allergy were recruited and tes...

The paper presents and evaluates Nysiad,1 a system that implements a new technique for transforming a scalable distributed system or network protocol tolerant only of crash failures into one that tolerates arbitrary failures, including such failures as freeloading and malicious attacks. The technique assigns to each host a certain number of guard hosts, optionally chosen from the available coll...

Introduced parasites threaten native host species that lack effective defenses. Such parasites increase the risk of extinction, particularly in small host populations like those on islands. If some host species are tolerant to introduced parasites, this could amplify the risk of the parasite to vulnerable host species. Recently, the introduced parasitic nest fly Philornis downsi has been implic...

A conference exploring 'The impact of the environment on innate immunity: the threat of diseases' was held on 4-9 May 2009 in Obergurgl, Austria, thanks to the support from the European Science Foundation, Innsbruck University and the Austrian Science Foundation. The goals of the conference were to explore how the outcomes of host-parasite interactions depend on variation across individuals, th...
