This study explores the prevalence of criminal behaviour in patients addicted to drugs who are in treatment. A sample of 252 addicted patients (203 male and 49 female) who sought outpatient treatment at a specialized centre was assessed. Information on criminal behaviours, socio-demographic factors, consumption factors (assessed by the EuropAsi), psychopathological factors (assessed by SCL-90-R...

Fernandez (2004b) argues that the present value effect of the tax saving on debt cannot be calculated as simply the present value of the tax shields associated with interest. This contradicts standard results in the literature. It implies that, even though the capital market is complete, value-additivity is violated. As a consequence, adjusted present value formulae of a standard sort cannot be...

In this short note we study flat metric connections with antisymmetric torsion T 6= 0. The result has been originally discovered by Cartan/Schouten in 1926 and we provide a new proof not depending on the classification of symmetric spaces. Any space of that type splits and the irreducible factors are compact simple Lie group or a special connection on S. The latter case is interesting from the ...

Invasiveness and metastatic potential are the two most important properties defining malignancy. The adenovirus E1A (Ad-E1A) gene has a dual effect as a proliferative gene and as a tumor-suppressor gene, decreasing tumor growth and the metastatic potential of malignant cells. In order to study genes related with the antimetastatic effect of Ad-E1A in human cells, we performed a microarray analy...

By means of this addendum we would like to give credit to an important work by Koay and Basser (2006) closely related to one of the results of our paper recently published in this journal (Martin-Fernandez et al., 2009). A key point in the implementation of the filtering approach proposed in Martin-Fernandez et al. (2009) is the inversion of the function BðcÞ given by Eq. (B.11). While the expr...
