This paper focuses on a special kind of corporate computing systems which we call process supporting environments (PSE). PSEs are CSCW applications guiding or even automating (parts of) business processes. Two different research communities are working on PSEs, namely the software process (SP) community on the one hand and the workflow management (WFM) community on the other hand. Both try to s...

To analyze the crucial role of fluctuation and relaxation effects for the function of the human brain we studied some statistical quantifiers that support the information characteristics of neuromagnetic brain responses (magnetoencephalogram, MEG). The signals to a flickering stimulus of different color combinations have been obtained from a group of control subjects which is then contrasted wi...

WILSON, L. M., J. R. WILSON AND L. V. DICARA. Facilitation of Pavlovian conditioned cardiodecelerations following preshock in immobilized rats. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 15(6) 653-658, 1975. Two experiments are reported that examine the effects of unsignalled, inescapable prior shock exposure (PSE) on shock-motivated Pavlovian conditioned heart rate (HR) decelerations in rats. Both studies involved 2 CS-...

Biochemical changes of natural actomyosin from fresh pale, soft, exudative (PSE) and normal pork were studied, and the effects of different storage temperatures and different incubation temperature and times on sample superprecipitation, total sulfhydryl (-SH) content, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) sensitivity were investigated. The results demonstrated that ATPase activity and thermal stabi...

Parkinsonism and portosystemic encephalopathy (PSE) are cerebral disorders associated with motor and neuropsychological dysfunctions that may occur in patients with chronic liver disease. We describe a patient with parkinsonism and neuroradiologic and 1H spectroscopic findings of PSE associated with a large congenital intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt. Chronic liver disease was absent. Af...

Porcine stress syndrome (PSS), controlled by a recessive gene, is responsible for the formation of poor quality meat (PSE and DFD). Various non-invasive and invasive tests have been devised to identify PSS-prone pigs. A reliable test for detecting the heterozygotes is essential for eliminating PSE-prone pigs. A simple test for selecting pigs to produce meat of excellent water holding capacity i...

This study aimed to develop spectrophotometry method using area under curve determine the levels of dextromethorphan HBr (DMP), doxylamine succinate (DOX) and pseudoephedrine HCl (PSE) in tablet dosage form ethanol as solvent. The is based on AUC absorption measurement wavelength ranges 273-283 nm for DMP, 262-272 DOX 251-261 PSE. Then, was applied PSE form. selection wavelengths gives best res...

Background: Students with disabilities attending postsecondary education (PSE) institutions have poor degree progression, retention, and graduation rates. PSE are addressing these challenges in various ways, including the delivery of occupational therapy (OT)-led coaching. There is emerging evidence that coaching increases academic success self-determination PSE. The students’ perspectives abou...

The human GH family consists of five genes, including the placental chorionic somatomammotropins (CS), within a single locus on chromosome 17. Based on nuclease sensitivity, the entire GH/CS locus is accessible in pituitary chromatin, yet only GH-N is expressed. Previously, we reported a P sequence element (263P) capable of repressing placental CS promoter activity in transfected pituitary (GC)...

Plant sterols and stanols are structurally similar to cholesterol and when added to the diet they are able to reduce serum total- and LDL-cholesterol concentrations. They also lower serum triglyceride concentrations in humans, particularly under conditions of hypertriglyceridemia. The aim of this study was to unravel the mechanism by which plant sterols and stanols reduce serum triglyceride con...
