This paper introduces a new model for ATR's CAM-Brain Project, which is far more eecient and simpler than the older model. The CAM-Brain Project aims at building a billion neuron artiicial brain using \evolutionary engineering" technologies. Our neural structures are based on Cellular Automata (CA) and grow/evolve in special hardware such as MIT's \CAM-8" machine. With the CAM-8 and the new CAM...

Background Portugal has a strong tradition of conventional western healthcare. So it provides a natural case study for the relationship between Complementary/Alternative Medicine (CAM) and Western Medicine (WM). This work aims to test the relationship between CAM and WM users in the diagnosis and treatment stages and to estimate the determinants of CAM choice.   Methods The forth Portuguese Nat...

The paper explores the impact of the initial-data, parameter and structural model uncertainty on the simulation of a tropical cyclone-like vortex in the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s (NCAR) Community Atmosphere Model (CAM). An analytic technique is used to initialize the model with an idealized weak vortex that develops into a tropical cyclone over ten simulation days. A total of 7...

Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) provides a model for calcium-bound calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinases (CaMKs). Here, we report the crystal structure of the binary DAPK-CaM complex, using a construct that includes the DAPK catalytic domain and adjacent autoregulatory domain. When DAPK was in a complex with CaM, the DAPK autoregulatory domain formed a long seven-turn helix. This DA...

Abstract This article does partly extend Duckworth’s achievement model and the significance of beauty, which appears to be linked celebrity achievement. It presents a revised version grit with an added attractiveness feature, labelled CAM (Celebrity Achievement Model), may useful when measuring, predicting, or explaining achievement, including both ‘macro-celebrities’ ‘micro-celebrities’. Then,...

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is frequently used in Portugal and it contributes to the improvement of people’s health. CAM and Western Medicine (WM) are taken as complements both in the diagnosis and the treatment stage. The Portuguese health system is able to generate certified CAM professionals but the provision of CAM care and services is not included in the national health sy...

CAM therapies have become increasingly  popular in pediatric populations. phytotherapy are the most common CAM used in children. Yet, little is known about children’s preferences for CAM. But It is expected to become more widely integrated into the modern medical system, including the medical curriculum.The aim of this study is to introduce the prevalence and characteristics of CAM use in Pedia...
