The First Year of the Eurosystem: Ination Targeting or Not?

This paper is a brief evaluation of the Eurosystem's monetary-policy regime after its first year, in particular of the extent to which it is similar to inflation targeting as practiced by an increasing number of central banks. I examine the Eurosystem's goals, framework for monetary-policy decisions and communication with outsiders. Criteria for evaluation are whether the goals are unambiguous ...

EVALU ATION OF INSULIN-SUL FONYLUREA COMBINATION V ERSIJS INSULIN AL ONE IN THE T REATMENT OF NON-INSULIN D EPENDENT DIABETES MELLITU S (NID DM)

Lowering the glucose level in diabetic patients reduces the risk of many consequences which are usually reported in these patients. Non-insulin dependent (type II) diabetes which cannot be controlled with sulfonylureas alone can be controlled with a combination of sulfonylurea and insulin. In an open randomized trial 58 patients were divided into three groups. The fIrst group received only ...

Involvement of intestinal uptake transporters in the absorption of azithromycin and clarithromycin in the rat.

Macrolide antibiotics azithromycin (AZI) and clarithromycin (CLARI) are large molecular weight compounds and are substrates for apically polarized efflux transporters such as P-glycoprotein, which can potentially restrict intestinal absorption. However, despite these undesired physicochemical and biopharmaceutical properties, AZI and CLARI exhibit moderate to excellent p.o. bioavailability in p...

Dialogue strategies guiding users to their communicative goals

Much work has been done in dialogue modeling for Human Computer Interaction. Problems arise in situations where disambiguation of highly ambiguous data base output is necessary. We propose to model the task rather than the dialogue itself. Furthermore, we propose underspeci ed representations to represent relevant data and to serve as a base for generating clari cation questions that guide the ...
