Free drawings of children with AS, aged 7-16 years, were analysed in relation to the clinical picture comprising their difficulties in communication, social behaviour and cognition. All children showed good abilities in drawing. Pictures had some common traits and were distinctly original, reflecting peculiarities of the syndrome features. Analysis of free drawings was found to be a helpful too...

This paper deals with the problem of packing convex polytopes into a parallelepiped of minimal height. It is assumed that the polytopes are oriented, i. e. rotations are not permitted. A mathematical model of the problem is developed and peculiarities of them are addressed. Based on these peculiarities a method to compute local optimal solutions is constructed. Both an approximate and an exact ...

In this paper we consider conditional independence models closed under graphoid properties. We investigate their representation by means of acyclic directed graphs (DAG). A new algorithm to build a DAG, given an ordering among random variables, is described and peculiarities and advantages of this approach are discussed. Finally, some properties ensuring the existence of perfect maps are provid...

Two new two-dimensional zinc(II) coordination polymers containing 2,5thiophenedicarboxylate and bitopic ligands bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methane (btrm) or 1,3-bis (1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propane (btrp) were synthesized. Synthesized compounds were characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and thermal analysis. Crystal structures of coordination polymers were deter...

The leukemic cell shows many peculiarities in contrast to normal ones. In particular, these are not specific for leukemia; by their quantity and combination they irnprove classification and understanding of this disease. In order to avoid an exhaustive list of morphologic findings, a certain order of our results we shall try to achieve. In doing this we accept the risk of possibly oversimplifyi...

The psychological problems among the dependents of armed servicemen presenting to general practitioners are discussed, with particular emphasis on how the peculiarities of service life contribute to their aetiology and presentation. Within the UK, primary health care for service dependents is increasingly being provided by National Health Service general practitioners who have no knowledge of s...
