Thrombosis is one of the major complicafiltration on 4% agarose. Fibrin degradations of polycythemia vera. Seventeen pation products were normal and antitients with polycythemia vera in good thrombin III levels were slightly elevated, hematologic control were evaluated for It appears that patients with polycythemia abnormalities of the coagulation system. vera have chronic activation of the coa...

This paper presents a method for fuzzy logic-based 'perception-action' behavior control of a mobile robot in uncertain environments. A key problem in 'perception-action' behavior control is to coordinate and integrate more reactive behaviors when the mobile robot executes tasks in complex environments. The main idea of the paper is to formulate 'perception-action' behaviors and to coordinate th...

Increased sialv lation, especially involving the Sialyl-Lewis" and SialylLewisx determinants, has been reported in breast cancer. A multiplex reverse transcription-PCR method was used here to determine the expres sion of five sialyltransferases (ST3Gal HI, ST6Gal I, ST3Gal IV, ST3Gal I, and ST3Gal II) in 49 patients surgically treated for locoregional breast cancer. We assessed the relationship...

The growing interest in the communication problems of older individuals is largely a product of heightened awareness of changes in the demographic characteristics of our society. At present, about 10% of the Canadian popu lation is over 65, and population projections indicate that this will increase to approximately 23% by the year 2025 (Health & Welfare Canada, 1987). Although statistics on th...

The focus of this study was to analyse the diffusion and challenges of “ICT-induced atypical work”. The term atypical has no value judgement. It covers all the new work forms, different from the classical work pattern of the full time male job, during the whole working life with the same employer at the same place. This classical work pattern is the basis of current labour legis lation, social ...

This paper presents a traffic control system, called ARTC, which addresses frequent oc­ currences of congestion and provides areawide traffic progression. The signal controllers in ARTC are interconnected through a computer network. By exchanging traffic flow in­ formation among the signal controllers, ARTC provides a new concept in areawide traffic control. With a global view of the traffic in...

Wireless ad hoc networks find great utility in situ ations where there is no wired base station infrastructure. For large networks wireless channel access needs to be performed in adistributed mann er. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDM A) is an emerging multiple access technique that is used in several new networking technologies. In this paper we study the use of OFDMA for ad...

The reconstruction of the precipitati on structure after solution treatment has been in vesti gated by positron annihi lation spectroscopy . I n this study the behaviour of samples ta ken from an aircraf t \A irbus 300", being in operation for 18 years, is compared to a ref erence material supplied by A lcoa. The results of position annihil ati on spectroscopy show that there are no signi Ùcant...

lation is created of randomly transformed copies of the original DFG. A fitness is allocated to each member of the population. This is determined by calculating the supply voltage and effective capacitance of the DFG. Area requirements are computed for the adders, delays and multipliers. The total required area is used to estimate the effective capacitance. The GA selects a member of the popula...
