Objective: we wanted to know if patients read and understand the informed consent (IC) document used for endoscopic procedures, and to evaluate the readability of IC. Method: during two months we gave patients studied in our endoscopy unit an anonymous questionnaire with different items concerning reading degree, knowledge of the technique, complications, sedation used, and information received...

La ecoendoscopia sectorial es una técnica muy segura con una gran precisión diagnóstica no alcanzable por otras exploraciones utilizadas en la estadificación de distintos tumores del tracto digestivo y órganos vecinos. Permite la realización de punción aspiración con aguja fina con obtención de material para estudio histológico, además de facilitar la realización de numerosas maniobras terapéut...

QCD corrections to electroweak l ν l jj and l + l − jj production

The production of W or Z bosons in association with two jets is an important background to the Higgs boson search in vector-boson fusion at the LHC. The purely electroweak component of this background is dominated by vector-boson fusion, which exhibits kinematic distributions very similar to the Higgs boson signal. We consider the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the electroweak product...

The President:

Web services are software components that can be exposed on the internet and invoked using standard internet protocols. The syntactic properties of the interfaces of Web services are described using the Web Service Description Language WSDL [W3C, 2002a]. Research in semantic Web services aims at developing methods to describe the semantic and pragmatic aspects of Web services in addition to the...
