S. Kapoor B. Binney S. Buckley H. Chang T. Chao M. Ettl E. N. Luddy R. K. Ravi J. Yang The results of an effort to build a sense-and-respond solution for a supply chain by using a model-driven development framework are described in this paper. One of the components of the framework is the IBM Research-developed model-driven business-transformation (MDBT) toolkit, a set of formal models, methods...

1.1 Spinal infections 1.1.1 History Infection of the spine is a disease with a long, well-documented history. Excavations of human skeletons from an archaeological site from the Iron Age showed likely cases of individual spinal infection (Tayles & Buckley, 2004). Tuberculosis of the spine is often described as Pott’s disease; the pattern of the disease was reported by Percivall Pott in the year...

Perirhinal cortex is often regarded as part of a medial temporal lobe (MTL) memory system, mediating memory selectively, and having little role in other functions such as perception (e.g., Squire and Zola-Morgan 1991; Buffalo et al. 1998, 1999; Squire et al. 2004). We and others have argued against this idea, suggesting instead that perirhinal cortex may have a role in perception (e.g., Buckley...

In recent years, several investigations of the environment-sensitive mechanical behavior of certain crystalline, nonmetallic materials and glasses have been directed toward characterizing the wear behavior of these materials under conditions of sliding and drilling in active liquid environments. Buckley,' for example, examined the change in plastic deformation and friction coefficient of single...

SYSTEMATIC REVIEW SOURCE This is a systematic review abstract, a regular feature of the Annals’ Evidence-Based Emergency Medicine (EBEM) series. Each features an abstract of a systematic review from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and a commentary by an emergency physician knowledgeable in the subject area. The source for this systematic review abstract is: Juurlink DN, Buckley NA, ...

The differentiation and nomenclature of the conditions commonly grouped together under the designation ' rheumatic' still furnishes the ground for differences of opinion which only bewilder a general practitioner. D...
