The emergence of agent-oriented information systems imposes a great challenge to the current theories and methods of software quality management. The difficulties in the development of quality information systems are not only due to the openness of the environment, the diversity of platforms, the vast volume of distributed information in diverse formats, and the complicated combination of data ...

By using a battery of behavioral tests, we showed that nociceptin/orphanin FQ receptor (NOP receptor) antagonists attenuated parkinsonian-like symptoms in 6-hydroxydopamine hemilesioned rats (Marti et al., 2005). We now present evidence that coadministration of the NOP receptor antagonist 1-[(3R,4R)-1-cyclooctylmethyl-3-hydroxymethyl-4-piperidyl]-3-ethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H benzimidazol-2-one (J-113...

Cvyptosporidium spp are a cause of diarrhoea in toddlers. Symptoms and routes of transmission were investigated in a prospective casecontrol study in the city and surroundings of Basel, Switzerland. Twenty one (4.6%) out of 455 children with diarrhoea who attended paediatric and general practices from June to September 1988 were positive for cryptosporidium. The mothers of each case, of two con...

The subjective visual vertical (SVV) indicates perceived direction of gravity. Even in healthy human subjects, roll angle-dependent misestimations, roll overcompensation (A-effect, head-roll > 60° and <135°) and undercompensation (E-effect, head-roll < 60°), occur. Previously, we demonstrated that, after prolonged roll-tilt, SVV estimates when upright are biased toward the preceding roll positi...

El eczema de manos es un motivo de consulta muy frecuente en dermatología que obliga a un amplio diagnóstico diferencial entre el que se incluirían la dermatitis irritativa y alérgica de contacto, la dermatitis atópica, la psoriasis o la dermatomiositis. Ante un eczema de manos unilateral hay que descartar una tinea manum e investigar posibles causas de fotoeczema alérgico de contacto. Presenta...

Prosody links and organize semantic information, syntactic and morphological structure as well as segmental sequences into a consistent set of address frames like syllables, metrical feet, phonological word and intonational phrases (Levelt, 1989). With this prosodic frame infants learn to recognise the single segments of the speech stream during the acquisition process. The interaction between ...
