The occurrence of disease is a direct manifestation of the failure of a production brn to provide adequate compensation for increased physiological demands on the ,iock in that system. The long term control of disease requires an holistic approach to the “ecopathology” he biosystem. The development of this approach typically follows an evolutionary cess including a number of phases that are con...

This paper describes the guidelines of the annotation scheme designed to enrich the Spanish CESS-ECE corpus with coreference information, which is a significant step towards the definition of an exhaustive typology of pronominal and full NP coreferential expressions and their relations for Spanish. The goal is twofold. From a computational perspective, this work establishes the formal foundatio...

In this paper I discuss how investment banks utilize the internet as well as the motivation and implications of these early interne t applications for the co nduct of inv estment bank ing activities. I focus, in particular, on the significance of e-commerce applications for the management of relationships with clients, the expansion into the retail investor market, and the re-engineering of the...

Learning in reference to the real neural complex depicts progressive modifications occurring at the synaptic levels of th e interconnected neurons. The presence of int raneural dist urb ances (inherent ly present ) or any ext raneural noise in the input data or in the teacher values may affect such synaptic modi ficat ions as specified by the set of weight ing vectors of th e interconnect ions....

Interleuldn-6 (IL-6) was found to function as a late-acting killer helper factor In the differenthtion of CTLs. In the model oftumor-bearing mice, the systemic administration ofrecombinant IL.6 was found to mediate the antitumor effect on the Immunogenic murine tumors via the in vivo induction of murine CTLs but not on the poorly immunogenic murine tumors In our previous study. However, an in v...

OBJECTIVE To study the changes of cardiac function and myocardial energy expenditure following treatment with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in patients with heart failure after myocardial infarction. METHODS Thirty-eight patients with heart failure after myocardial infarction were randomized into G-CSF treatment group and control group. All the patients received conventional t...

Secure multi-party computation (MPC) protocols do not completely prevent malicious parties from cheating and disrupting the computation. A coalition of malicious parties can repeatedly cause the computation to abort or provide an input that does not correspond to reality. In this work, we augment MPC with two new properties to discourage cheating. The first of these is a strengthening of identi...
