Criteria for use in population surveys to study the epidemiology of ankylosing spondylitis were proposed at the CIOMS Symposium in Rome in 1961 (Kellgren, Jeffrey, and Ball, 1963), and a revised set of criteria were introduced at the next symposium in New York in 1966 (Bennett and Wood, 1968). The Rome and New York criteria are shown in Tables I and II respectively. The Rome criteria specify th...

Članak donosi sliku carskog štovanja u rimskom Oneju pri čemu je glavna pozornost usmjerena na žrtvenik Božanskog Augusta, božice Rome i Genija carske obitelji (Genius domus Augusta). Riječ o vrlo zanimljivom kultnom spomeniku, ne samo zbog njegove višestruke posvećenosti nego činjenice da ga podiže pomoćna vojna jedinica, Cohors I Gallica Voluntariorum, što ujedno njezin prvi spomen provinciji...

In a sponsored search auction the advertisement slots on a search result page are generally ordered by click-through rate. Bidders have a valuation, which is usually assumed to be linear in the click-through rate, a budget constraint, and receive at most one slot per search result page (round). We study multi-round sponsored search auctions, where the different rounds are linked through the bud...

of viable CD41+ cells be harvested at day 14 of culture. Bcl-xL mRNA was detected at high levels in all samples of RAEB CD34+ cells at day 0, and it appeared progressively down-regulated at days 7 and 14 of culture (Figure 2A). Moreover, the Bcl-xL expression pattern was similar in control cultures and in cultures containing anti-TGF-β1 neutralizing antibody (Figure 2B). The deregulated express...
