Understanding Admissibility

Lewis' concept of admissibility was introduced as an integral part of his famous Principal Principle; the principle that initial rational/reasonable belief should conform to objective chance unless there is evidence to the contrary. At that time Lewis offered only the rough and ready characterisation that evidence not to the contrary of such dependence is admissible. This, together with some suffi

Periodic Motions of the Pendubot via Virtual Holonomic Constraints: Theory and Experiments

This paper presents a new control strategy for an underactuated two-link robot, called the Pendubot. The goal is to create stable oscillations of the outer link of the Pendubot, which is not directly actuated. We exploit a recently proposed feedback control design strategy, based on motion planning via virtual holonomic constraints. This strategy is shown to be useful for design of regulators for

The asparaginyl endopeptidase legumain after experimental stroke.

Various proteases in the brain contribute to ischemic brain injury. We investigated the involvement of the asparaginyl endopeptidase legumain after experimental stroke. On the basis of gene array studies and in situ hybridizations, we observed an increase of legumain expression in the peri-infarct area of rats after transient occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAO) for 120 mins with a maxim

Antidepressant use during pregnancy: comparison of data obtained from a prescription register and from antenatal care records.

PURPOSE: To compare interview data on drug use during pregnancy with data identified from a register of prescriptions. MATERIALS: We compared information from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register with the Swedish Medical Birth Register on antidepressant use. In order to evaluate the clinical significance of the difference in ascertainment with the two methods, the rate of preterm births among sing

Macroscopic changes during negative pressure wound therapy of the open abdomen using conventional negative pressure wound therapy and NPWT with a protective disc over the intestines.

BACKGROUND: Higher closure rates of the open abdomen have been reported with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) than with other wound management techniques. However, the method has occasionally been associated with increased development of fistulae. We have previously shown that NPWT induces ischemia in the underlying small intestines close to the vacuum source, and that a protective disc plac

Abstract in Norwegian Den fallende profittraten, underkonsumpsjon eller overproduksjon? I over 100 år har marxister diskutert hvordan man skal forstå økonomiske kriser. Og heller ikke den siste krisa har gitt oss løsning på problmet. Snarere tvert imot.

Myocardial topical negative pressure increases blood flow in hypothermic, ischemic myocardium.

Objectives. Hypothermia protects the myocardium from oxidative injury during ischemic stress and reperfusion. We have previously shown that topical negative pressure (TNP) of -50 mmHg significantly increases microvascular blood flow in the underlying myocardium in normal, ischemic, and reperfused porcine myocardium. The present study was designed to elucidate the effect of TNP between -50 mmHg and

Benign paroxysmal positionell vertigo - vanlig orsak till yrsel. Enkel behandling kan ge snabb bot

Vertigo and dizziness are frequent symptoms among patients in primary health care. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one common cause of dizziness with, for the patient, alarming symptoms. It is relatively easy to diagnose, with manouvertreatment or habituation-exercises as effective treatments. The treatment with either Semont or Epley manoeuvres is so effective that it often appears

Enhetliga analyser av narkotika i urin krävs för rättssäkerheten.

Drugs of abuse testing is used in various areas of society for detection and follow-up of drug use. In routine laboratory drug testing, immunoassays are employed for initial screening of specimens to indicate the presence of drugs. To confirm a positive screening test, a secondary analysis by mass spectrometry is performed. The »cut-off« is the pre-defined concentration threshold of a drug or drug
