New vanadium oxido complexes with potential biological activity

Several biological aspects of vanadium are known and even though it has not been proven to be an essential metal for humans, it might have implication as a drug against the disease diabetes mellitus. However, undesired side effect as a result of the toxicity of vanadium must be reduced. Studies have shown that the toxicity is decreased by coordination of the metal to organic ligands. This thesis p

Disclosing the secrets of braille reading: Computer-aided registration and interactive analysis

The pilot project reported here utilized the first technology ever developed for the computerized on-line registration and analysis of finger movements during Braille reading. Five congenitally blind subjects performed tactile reading of pedagogically carefully selected texts. Two specialists in visual impairments analyzed the computer-registered reading activities using specially designed interac

Combining parallel search and parallel consistency in constraint programming

Program parallelization becomes increasingly important when new multi-core architectures provide ways to improve performance. One of the greatest challenges of this development lies in programming parallel applications. Declarative languages, such as constraint programming, can make the transition to parallelism easier by hiding the parallelization details in a framework. Automatic parallelizatio

Studies on Oral Immune Reactions in the Genetically Mercury-Sensitive BN Rat and in the Hyperplastic BN-(BNxLEW) Graft-versus-Host Disease

Mercury (Hg) is known to induce adverse immune reactions in sensitive individuals. e.g. selected inbred animal strains. Such reactions involve oral tissues and may reflect immune phenomena, that may also occur in some human oral diseases. Administration of low doses of HgCl2 to the genetically Hg-sensitive BN rats results in the development of a syndrome with autoimmune features [BN(Hg)]. inolvin

Sexual networks: implications for the transmission of sexually transmitted infections

The structures of sexual networks are essential for understanding the dynamics of sexually transmitted infections. Standard epidemiological models largely disregard the complex patterns of intimate contacts. Social network analysis offers important insight into how to conceptualize and model social interaction and has the potential to greatly enhance the understanding of disease epidemics. (C) 200
