A man who had worked for 16 years in the manufacture of a potent corticosteroid was found to be suffering from chronic adrenocortical insufficiency attributed to chronic absorption of the glucocorticoid. Eleven other symptom-free workers were therefore screened. Two of these workers, like the first patient, gave grossly abnormal responses to the Synacthen (tetracosactrin) test; one had been emp...

In this paper, we present the interest of low level imitation strategy on individual and population levels in the field of Multi-Robot System. Particularly, we show that adding a simple imitation capability to our bio-inspired architecture boosts the ability of individual cognitive map building. Taking into account the notion of imitative behavior, we also show that the individual discoveries i...

The temperature coefficient of the refractive index, (dn/dT)p, has been measured for deuterium oxide. The observed values are considered together with those previously obtained for water. The experimental data cannot be explained with the best known models of molecular polarizability, at least in the approximation generally used in these models. Therfore they are discussed on the basis of a dif...

In the eld of research and development of grippers in object-handling applications, many research results in improving grippers' performances have been achieved, and many kinds of multi nger grippers have been developed. By using multi nger grippers, it is possible to grasp di erent objects of di erent shapes without changing grippers; and most importantly, it can manipulate the grasped object ...

The Next Generation Network (NGN) supports endto-end negotiation between NGN entities and such of other networks [16]. However, interoperability between different negotiation protocols depends on gateways and benefits of upcoming protocols cannot be utilised. We proclaim, that a multimedia middleware avoids the need for gateways by enabling the application itself to cope with different protocol...

In the eld of research and development of grippers in object-handling applications, many research results in improving grippers' performances have been achieved, and many kinds of multiinger grippers have been developed. By using multiinger grippers, it is possible to grasp diierent objects of diierent shapes without changing grippers; and most importantly, it can manipulate the grasped object ...

Introduction Care plans and case conferences are relatively new primary health care services designed to improve health outcomes for patients with complex chronic care needs. Under the Commonwealth Government’s Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) programme General Practitioners (GPs) are remunerated for their involvement in these important services. The EPC programme stipulates that these services must...

Two patients with dystrophia myotonica showed high-grade atrio-ventricular block. Both underwent electrophysiological studies which revealed sinus and A-V nodal disease with normal intraventricular conduction in 1 case and His-Purkinje conduction disease in the other. Dystrophia myotonica may, therfore, involve all parts of the cardiac conduction system and may affect the generation of cardiac ...

farabi has simultaniously deep philosopical debates and very clear literature in the area of political sciology. he analyses society as hierarchy. the features of temper and psychological and capabilities have been affected by that hierarchy which is desinged and leept by political leaders. therefore rule, leadership and politics are important from farabi`s view. but at the same time education ...

Truckage companies need continuous and up-to-date information about their business processes in order to respond quickly to customers’ needs and problems emerging during transport processes. Therfore a reliable and user-friendly communication system is required, which improves the relationship between drivers and dispatchers. The project ”Mobile Spedition im Web (SpiW)” presented here, develops...
