View update problem in deductive databases is concerned with the translation of an update of an intensional relation by modifying the underlying relations of the extensional part of the database. In the existing algorithms for view updates of a deductive database, a sound and complete proof procedure is usually employed to generate explanations for the atom to be inserted or deleted. In the cas...

The neuronal network responsible for paradoxical sleep (PS) onset and maintenance has not previously been identified in the rat, unlike the cat. To fill this gap, this study has developed a new technique involving the recording of sleep-wake states in unanaesthetized head-restrained rats whilst locally administering pharmacological agents by microiontophoresis from glass multibarrel micropipett...

Scapholunate dissociation (SLD) is the commonest cause of carpal instability and wrist osteoarthrosis. The value of early diagnosis and treatment of this injury is well established in the literature. When a partial or total rupture of the scapholunate ligament is treated with early anatomic reduction and repair, functional results may be good to excellent. However, if this ligament is not addre...

Direct infusion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is shown to provide an efficient technique for the investigation of polar composition of forensic tablets for male erectile dysfunction. ESI-MS fingerprinting of 41 commercial sildenafil samples (Viagra, Cialis, Lazar, Libiden, Maxfil, Plenovit, Potent 75, Rigix, V-50, Vimax, Pramil 75 and Pramil) and 56 counterfeit samples (Via...

We present a rewriting method for Datalog-programs which simulates SLD-resolution more closely than the ordinary “magic set” method does. This is especially advantageous in the case of tail-recursive programs, but already in nonrecursive programs we can often save a number of joins. In contrast to the method of ROSS [7], we do not only solve the problem of tail-recursion, but try to simulate SL...

We present the measurements of the leptonic asymmetries in Z decays measured by the SLD experiment at SLAC. A data sample of approximately 550,000 Z bosons are used for the preliminary measurement of ALR(Ae) and the leptonic final state measurements of Ae, Aμ and Aτ , representing the entire set of 1992-1998 SLD runs. When combining all results, a preliminary value for the effective weak mixing...

There is a lack of empirical data on the ability and achievement characteristics of Australian university students seeking accommodation under the Disability Discrimination Act because of SpeciŽ c Learning Disabilities (SLD). A series of 30 self-referred students was assessed individually using an extensive test battery (WJ-R) based on a modern, comprehensive model of intelligence and achieveme...

Lymphedema is a significant complication of breast cancer treatment. Early treatment subclinical lymphedema may prevent its related complications. We aimed to evaluate the contribution applying self-lymphatic drainage (SLD) in LE patients. One hundred twenty-eight women diagnosed with were enrolled study. Patients allocated into control group 1 (n=64) and SLD 2 (n=64). Excess volume; Visual Ana...

The SLD experiment at the Stanford Linear Collider reports new measurements of lep

The current status of the experimental knowledge of neutral B meson oscillations is reviewed. The B d oscillation frequency is precisely measured by SLD, CDF, and the LEP experiments. An overview of the analyses and their combination is presented. Preliminary measurements and perspectives at the running B factories are also briefly discussed. The much faster B s oscillations have not yet been r...
