Methods To reach diagnosis this method uses a wide range of biological parameters providing a great deal of significant information in the context of allergy such as lymphocyte typing and protein profiles or the Th1/Th2 differentiation, as well as many bacterial and viral serologies, to substantiate the biological diagnosis and guide the therapeutic result. Within this therapy, numerous immune-...

This paper describes studies focusing on how gender and grouping affects performance and attitudes of children playing a puzzle solving game called The Incredible Machine. We found that children playing together on one machine solved significantly more puzzles than children playing alone on one machine. Female/Female pairs playing together on one machine, on average, completed significantly mor...

Three lessons can be learned from this: first, there is a need for a less invasive and preferably reversible technique for lung volume reduction. Secondly, there is a need for prospective, randomized and (preferably sham) control of these techniques, and thirdly, there is a need for an a priori selection of patients, to predict the future. So, are there less invasive techniques out there? Inter...

perfection of staining methods, the results were tainted with defects. In 1932, the epochal discovery of the terminal formation of the vegetative nerve fibres, that is the terminalreticulum, was made by Stohr1) and Reiser,2) after a painstaking labor. Subsequent observations by many investigators on the subject led to a remarkable illustration of the problem. On the other hand, the sensory nerv...

In some experiments and applications there is need for large-area photosensitive detectors to operate at cryogenic temperatures. Nowadays, vacuum PMs are usually used for this purpose. We have developed special designs of planar photosensitive gaseous detectors able to operate at cryogenic temperatures. Such detectors are much cheaper PMs and are almost insensitive to magnetic fields. Results o...

Virtuality is the property of computer system with the potential for enabling a virtual system (operating inside the computer) to become a real system by encouraging the real world to behave according to the template dictated by the virtual system. Virtual phenomena like virtual memory, network switching, virtual teams, virtual reality and virtual organization may change our way to work and per...
