Magnetic resonance diffusion anisotropy imaging (DAI) of the rat spinal cord after contusion using weight-drop method was used to study the neuroprotecting effect of 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)-pyridine (MPEP), an mGluR5 receptor antagonist. Eighteen rats were used, divided into 3 groups of 6 animals: a reference group without any operation, a control group with injury and a test group with inju...

Distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for representing and solving complex problems. The growth of this field has been spurred by the advances in distributed computing environments and wide spread information connectivity. Although DAI started as a branch of artificial intelligence over twenty-five years ago, it has emerged as an independent research disci...

This paper presents the OGSA-DAI-RDF middleware that extends OGSA-DAI access to RDF database s ystems, e.g., Sesame and Jena. Several OGSA-DAI activities for handling RDF data and ontology are imp lemented. The query language interface is based on SPARQL query language. Introduction The National Institute of Advanced Science and Technology (AIST) of Japan started a 5-year project called AIST-SO...

Introduction: The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) is considered an essential tool in the association of aesthetic and clinical elements occlusion. It plays a key role timely orthodontic treatment. Objective: to determine treatment required students Peruvian public institution using DAI. Material Methods: A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out during months June July 20...

We prove that a balanced 8-round Feistel network is indifferentiable from a random permutation, improving on previous 10-round results by Dachman-Soled et al. and Dai et al. Our simulator achieves securityO(q/2), similarly to the security of Dai et al. For further comparison, Dachman-Soled et al. achieve security O(q/2), while the original 14-round simulator of Holenstein et al. achieves securi...
