In this paper we deal with the SAT problem in many-valued logics wich is of relevant interest in many areas of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science. Regarding tractability issues, several works have been previously published solving polynomially some clausal manyvalued SAT problems. Thus, our aims is to show that certain nonclausal many-valued SAT problems can be solved in polynomial ti...

Although the Liley spectrophotometric estimation of bile pigments in amniotic fluid [Amer. J. Obstet. Gynecol. 82, 1359 (1961)] is widely used, the levels of accuracy and precision necessary for clinically meaningful results have not been clarified. This paper delineates some of the important in strumental and procedural sources of error, and how each affects the final value of A451: (a) A limi...

We have obtained evidence that a known intracellular component of the cadherin cell-cell adhesion machinery, /3-catenin, contributes to the development of the body axis in the frog Xenopus laevis. Vertebrate/3-catenin is homologus to the Drosophila segment polarity gene product armadillo, and to vertebrate plakoglobin (McCrea, P. D., C. W. Turck, and B. Gumbiner. 1991. Science (Wash. DC). 254: ...

Background: Plaque psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder that has a major impact on patient ́s social and psychological abilities. Preliminary studies have suggested that educative and psychological interventions may be effective in the management of psoriasis. Objectives: To examine the educative and psychological interventions for psoriasis in the last 20 years (1992-2012). Methods: A systemati...

© 1998 Journals of Reproduction and Fertility 1359-6004/98 $12.50 Puberty, the transition from a sexually immature state to one of full reproductive activity, is timed by signals acting in the brain to increase activity of the hypothalamo–pituitary axis which stimulates the production of mature gametes. There are profound sex differences in the timing of puberty in many species. This occurs by ...

Some meditation techniques reduce pain, but there have been no studies on howmeditation a¡ects the brain’s response to pain. Functional magnetic resonance imaging of the response to thermally induced pain applied outside the meditation period found that long-term practitioners of the Transcendental Meditation technique showed 40^50% fewer voxels responding to pain in the thalamus and total brai...

Two studies assessed the relationship between celebrity worship and (i) addiction (n 1359) and (ii) criminality (n 2158). Overall Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS) scores correlated positively with Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised (EPQ-R) Addiction and Criminality sub-scale scores. In further support of the absorption addiction model of celebrity worship (McCutcheon, Lange, & Houran, 2002...
