THE word ichthyosis is derived from the Greek word Ichthys meaning a fish. Patients with ichthyosis exhibit prominent scales occurring more or less diffusely all over the body. Usually the scales are large and centrally adherent with loose edges. Ichthyosis is a disorder of keratinization. Ichthyosis forms a group of genodermatoses transmitted by autosomal dominant or, as recently shown by Well...

Imprecise probabilistic beliefs are modelled as incomplete comparative likelihood relations admitting a multiple-prior representation. We provide an axiomatization of such relations for the case in which the set of priors is “convex-ranged”. We also show that the multiple-prior representation is unique whenever the set of priors is “almost-convex-ranged”. Such uniqueness ensures the adequacy of...

I am indebted to my advisor Juergen Eichberger for his helpful guidance and to Alexander Zimper for his helpful suggestions and illuminating discussions. I would like to thank Hans Haller, Clemens Puppe, Itzhak Gilboa, Hans Gersbach, Klaus Ritzberger, as well as the participants of the RUD conference in Evanston, of the FUR XI conference in Paris and of the PhD seminar at the University of Heid...

Artificial recharge can be an effective method to raise the groundwater table and to resolve the groundwater crisis in Sefid dasht plain. The most important step to successful accomplishment of artificial recharge is locating suitable areas for artificial recharge. Hence this research carried out with purpose of determining suitable areas for artificial recharge in Sefid dasht plain. Slope, sur...

or as the ends of a boiv are drawn together." They have a legend that it visits the country every thirty years. The epidemic arrived in Bhamo in June last, having travelled up the Irrawaddy Yalley starting in Rangoon in May and visiting Mandalay during the early part of June. It is interesting to note this following of the important trade route. It is not unlikely that the epidemic originated f...

1. introduction floods are among earth's most common and most destructive natural hazards. floods create geomorphic hazards via changes in sediment transport and channel configuration (e.g. channel width, lateral migration, planform changes, etc). in this context, floodplain zoning and its application in spatial planning is important in non- structural measures in order to reducing flood damage...

INTRODUCTION In periapical surgery, the absence of standardization between different studies makes it difficult to compare the outcomes. OBJECTIVE To compare the healing classification of different authors and evaluate the prognostic criteria of periapical surgery at 12 months. MATERIAL AND METHODS 278 patients (101 men and 177 women) with a mean age of 38.1 years (range 11 to 77) treated w...
