Nowadays i t is common the construction of English understanding systems (interfaces) that sooner or later one has to re-use, adapting and conve~ ting them to other natural languages. This is not an easy task and in many cases the arisen problems are quite complex. In this paper an experiment that was accomplished for Portuguese language is reported and some conclusions are expl ic i te ly stat...

P rimary hyperaldosteronism in pregnancy is a rarely reported clinical entity that may result in life-threatening complications both for mother and the fetus and is most often caused by an aldosterone producing aden oma (APA). The physiologic rise in aldosterone during pregnancy overlaps the levels seen in primary aldosteronism, making diagnosis difficult. Suppressed renin in the setting of hyp...

Anisotropic nano-plate structures in self-assembled perovskite-spinel thin films, BiFeO3-NiFe2O4 and BiFeO3-CoFe2O4, which were deposited on (001)c SrRuO3/SrTiO3 and DyScO3 substrates, respectively, have been demonstrated using transmission electron microscopy combined with strain analysis. Unlike the unitary cube-on-cube orientation relationship reported widely, the growth direction of the CoF...

The temperature-dependent direct current dc characteristics and radio frequency performance of an InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor with the composite passivations on base surface are studied and demonstrated. For comparison, the characteristics of other samples with different treatments on the base surfaces are also included in this work. The device with composite passivations, i.e....

. Until recently, endodontic therapy was performed using tactile sensitivity, and the only way to see inside the root canal system was to take a radiograph. Performing endodontic therapy entailed ‘‘working blind,’’ that is, most of the effort was taken using only tactile skills with minimum visual information available. Before the introduction of magnification devices the presence of a problem ...

The shape-controlled synthesis of nanoparticles was established in single-phase solutions by controlling growth directions of crystalline facets on seed nanocrystals kinetically; however, it was difficult to rationally predict and design nanoparticle shapes. Here we introduce a methodology to fabricate nanoparticles in smaller sizes by evolving shapes thermodynamically. This strategy enables a ...

ledge and a personal account of Mr. Livie-Noble's own work, which is by no means typical and which cannot, and many psychologists will think should not, become a pattern for the future. Mr. Livie-Noble himself points out that the work of Psychologists in Public Schools (his own field) should not be compared too closely with that of the Psychologist to a Local Education Authority. He envisages a...

Cynics ons SugarLoafmountain granite stack at 30 metres a day, spending most of their time bivouacked in portable platforms hanging from a single hook. From the city you could just see their banner, tiny against the grey green rock face, creeping higher day by day. It was like a barometer for the negotiations. Today they would reach the top. As Edwin Drummond and Tess Burrows finally scrambled ...

Learning is an active, constructive and collaborative process, where people construct know ledge from their experiences in the world. Especially children need to learn through their senses and through physical activity. However, there are few experiental learning environments for school children available, which involve the senses and physical activity. Reasons put forward for this situation ar...
