Believability is an important characteristic of intelligent virtual agents, however, very few attempts have been made to define and formalise it. This paper provides a formal analysis of believability, focused on diverse aspects of believability of the agents and the virtual environment they populate, approaching the problem from the perspective of the relations between the agents and the envir...

OBJECTIVE In recent years many data emphasized, that inflammatory reactions seem to be involved in the pathogenesis of ischemic (ICM) and congestive (CCM) heart disease. Since, it is well known that endothelial adhesion molecules play a pivotal role in the initiation and maintenance of inflammatory reactions we therefore, evaluated the endothelial expression of a wide variety of different adhes...
