In January of 1997, Health Level Seven (HL7) began developing Version 3.0 of its standard. The Version 3 effort represents a transformation of the way that HL7 and its Technical Committees will develop future HL7 information interchange standards. This transformation involves applying object-oriented modelling to the development and specification of information interchange standards. This paper...

Vesicles composed of a phosphatidylethanolamine derivative with a cyclopropyl-containing interfacial region are twenty-seven times less permeable than vesicles composed of a closely related analogue.

In this paper we address the problem of projective reconstruction of structure and motion given only image data. In particular we investigate three novel minimal combinations of points and lines over three views, and give complete solutions and reconstructionmethods for two of these cases: “four points and three lines in three views”, and “two points and six lines in three views”. We show that ...

were improved but twenty-seven (30%/) were no better. Patients with a well-functioning gallbladder, demonstrated radiologically, were relieved significantly more often than those with a poor or non-functioning gallbladder. Fatty food precipitated the symptoms in the majority of patients. These figures suggest that there is neither a direct causal relationship between gallstones and flatulent dy...

Saliency refers to the character of an object standing out, hence easily capturing someone’s attention. This concept, when applied to music, can be interpreted in a way that a highly salient instrument sound will more likely draw a listener’s attention than other concurrent instruments. That is, we might expect in turn that a highly salient instrument timbre will be more easily identified from ...

The study of approximately periodic strings is relevant to diverse applications such as molecular biology data compression and computer assisted music analysis Here we study di erent forms of ap proximate periodicity under a variety of distance rules We consider three related problems for two of which we derive polynomial time algorithms we then show that the third problem is NP complete

This chapter reviews sensitive periods in human brain development based on the literature on children raised in institutions. Sensitive experiences occur when experiences are uniquely influential for the development of neural circuitry. Because in humans, we make inferences about sensitive periods from evaluations of complex behaviors, we underestimate the occurrence of sensitive periods at the...

During the past 20 years, basic science has shown that there are different critical periods for different visual functions during the development of the visual system. Visual functions processed at higher anatomical levels within the system have a later critical period than functions processed at lower levels. This general principle suggests that treatments for amblyopia should be followed in a...

1.0 This paper, which is a sequel to [6], is a step towards a geometric version of the Howe correspondence (an analogue of the theta-lifting in the framework of the geometric Langlands program). We consider only the (unramified) dual reductive pair (H = GO2m, G = GSp2n) over a smooth projective connected curve X. Let BunG (resp., BunH) denote the stack of Gtorsors (resp., H-torsors) on X. Using...

We consider multi-loop integrals in dimensional regularisation and the corresponding Laurent series. We study the integral in the Euclidean region and where all ratios of invariants and masses have rational values. We prove that in this case all coefficients of the Laurent series are periods.
