800x600 the dry form of armd is becoming a serious problem because of the rise in the number of old individuals. no effective therapy is available in dry armd except for the illusory oral administration of antioxidant vitamins. despite scepticism in the medical community, the therapeutic effect of ozonetherapy had been evaluated since 1996. this evaluation has been based on specific biochemical...

Impulsive behavior in humans partly relates to inappropriate overvaluation of reward-associated stimuli. Hence, it is desirable to develop methods of behavioral modification that can reduce stimulus value. Here, we tested whether one kind of behavioral modification--the rapid stopping of actions in the face of reward-associated stimuli--could lead to subsequent devaluation of those stimuli. We ...

a resilient soft liner (rsl) has been used in processed complete dentures but controlling its thickness has always been a challenge because of uneven reduction of the denture's intaglio surface. use of a thermoplastic vacuum-formed template and an endodontic k-file, as guides, for the reduction of a processed mandibular complete denture to receive rsl is described in the present report. a proce...

BACKGROUND The Respiration Activity Monitoring System (RAMOS) is an established device to measure on-line the oxygen transfer rate (OTR), thereby, yielding relevant information about metabolic activities of microorganisms and cells during shake flask fermentations. For very fast-growing microbes, however, the RAMOS technique provides too few data points for the OTR. Thus, this current study pre...

notion of “computable” — i.e., to isolate the general structure of the computing process itself. The danger we face is that the various types of computability, as defined here, will say more about the individual languages that gave rise to them than they do about this general structure. But anyone who is familiar two or more languages will realize that this difficulty is more one of principle t...
