This edition of the Public policy and Health series is a summary of a scientific advisory written by Nicole April, Claude Bégin and Réal Morin of the Direction du développement des individus et des communautés of Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ). This advisory on alcohol consumption in Québec is submitted to the Minister of Health and Social Services for the purposes of imp...

In this paper, we establish that maintaining a balanced workload on each machine over time stochastically minimizes the work-in-process inventory in certain types of flexible manufacturing systems (FM%) with finite or infinite common input buffer storage and an ample buffer et each machine. The results obtained here complement those obtained by Stecke and Morin (1985), in which it is establishe...

Much has been written concerning the spinothalamic tract in the rabbit, monkey and man. However, many early and more recent investigators using the cat have not been able to trace this tract to the thalamus by the Marchi method (P a t r i k, '93, '96 ; Chang and R u c h, '47 ; Morin et al., '52). In recent years silver techniques have been widely utilized in demonstrating precise fiber connecti...

Neste artigo buscamos tecer algumas considerações a respeito do pensamento complexo de Edgar Morin, sobretudo, no que tange às suas contribuições ao campo da educação. Para tanto, se fez necessário um enfoque em sua obra “Sete saberes necessários à educação futuro”, pois acreditamos afora vasta produção acadêmica e intelectual autor, nesta Morin esforça estabelecer, forma pragmática, princípios...

O presente artigo procura analisar a forma pela qual se encontra religiosidade no pensamento de Edgar Morin. Apresenta hipótese que existe Morin uma perspectiva religiosa, é acessada por meio da ética. Desta forma, o religioso em necessita um estudo crítico, cuja epistemologia está pautada na Teoria Complexidade, religando os diversos saberes, conforme propõe Morin, onde complexidade também pos...

PURPOSE To address the effect of resveratrol and other red wine polyphenols on cell proliferation, apoptosis and androgen receptor (AR) expression in human prostate cancer LNCaP cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS LNCaP cells (5 × 102) were cultured in microtiter plate modules and treated with gallic acid, tannic acid and quercetin (1, 5 and 10 μM), rutin and morin (25, 50 and 75 μM) and resveratrol...

Ultraviolet-A (UV-A) can damage microbes by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), singlet oxygen, superoxides, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals. These species readily react with lipids, proteins, DNA and other constituents of cells, leading to oxidative deterioration and the eventual death of the microbe. However, the oxidative ability of these reactive species also harms the viabili...

We begin with a quick summary of the notions of global singularity theory and the theory of Thom polynomials. For a more detailed review we refer the reader to [1, 15]. Let N and K be two complex manifolds of dimensions n and k respectively; assume that n ≤ k. Consider a holomorphic map f : N → K for which the differential d fp : TpN → TpK at a generic point p ∈ N is nonsingular, i.e. has rank ...
