The main objective of this comparative analysis was to assess regulations applied by EU governments to reward potentially innovative drugs. We focused on the pharmaceutical policy for in-patent drugs in seven EU countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the UK. A common scheme was applied to all seven countries: first, pricing and reimbursement procedures for new a...

if we accept this idea that in talking about art, there is a chasm between thought and unthought debating on art theory in the sociohistorical context of after revolutionary iran requires at least two items in which understanding and creating art meet one another: 1) art as door separates intelligible from sensible, rational from irrational, and logos from pathos as well and 2) art as bridge no...

Human Choriogonadotropin (hCG), its free /} subunit (£fh( '(>), and the core ,(h( (. fragment (c/3hCG) were measured by highly sensitive timeresolved immunofluorometric assays in the serum and urine of 29 pa tients with pancreatic cancer, 7 patients with biliary cancer, and 45 patients with benign pancreatic or biliary diseases. The results were compared with those of an ageand sex-matched ref...

At this point Festus interrupted Paul’s defence. “You are out of your mind, Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning is driving you insane”. “I am not insane, most e...

The practical deployment of distributed agent-based systems mandates that each agent behaves sensibly. This paper focuses on simulating the behaviors of Sensible Agents in dynamic and uncertain environments. Sensible Agents perceive, process, and respond based on an understanding of both local and system goals. In previous research, a Sensible Agent architecture has been developed in which each...

Energy balance models have proven useful in understanding mechanisms and feedbacks in the climate system. An original global energy balance model is presented here. The model is solved numerically for equilibrium climate states defined by zonal average temperature as a function of latitude for both a surface and an atmospheric layer. The effects of radiative, latent, and sensible heating are pa...
