In the present study we examined the effects of 1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid (AIDA), regarded as a selective and competitive mGluR1 antagonist, in animal models of anxiety. Diazepam (1-10 mg/kg) was used as a reference drug. After intraperitoneal administration, AIDA (0.5-2 mg/kg) produced anxiolytic-like effects in the conflict drinking test and the elevated plus-maze test in rats; howev...

This paper describes the Advanced Image Display Architecture, AIDA. The primary aims were to design a graphics display subsystem capable of satisfying the needs of both high performance workstations and vehicle simulator visual systems. AIDA can accept planar triangle primitives which have been transformed, clipped and projected by preceding stages. The system implements many desirable features...

We present AIDA, a framework and online tool for entity detection and disambiguation. Given a natural-language text or a Web table, we map mentions of ambiguous names onto canonical entities like people or places, registered in a knowledge base like DBpedia, Freebase, or YAGO. AIDA is a robust framework centred around collective disambiguation exploiting the prominence of entities, similarity b...

This software is currently used by several experiments and collaborations, BaBar, GLAST, and Geant4. Experience of using AIDATLD, JAIDA, and JAS3 in experiments, as well as description of new developments will be presented in the paper. 1. FreeHEP library Items discussed in this paper are all part of the FreeHEP Java Library, which is mostly written in Java and groups together open-source utili...

BACKGROUND In the revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), "Identity" is an essential diagnostic criterion for personality disorders (self-related personality functioning) in the alternative approach to the diagnosis of personality disorders in Section III of DSM-5. Integrating a broad range of established identity concepts, AIDA (Assessment of Identity Development in Adolesce...

The Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission will be the first space experiment to demonstrate asteroid impact hazard mitigation by using a kinetic impactor to deflect an asteroid. AIDA is an international cooperation entering Phase A study at NASA and ESA, consisting of two mission elements: the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission and the ESA Asteroid Impact Mi...

PURPOSE This study examines possible interactions between behavioral effects and mGluR1 (class I metabotropic glutamate receptor) by injecting AIDA [(RS)-1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid] in rats with experimental chronic hyperammonemia (chHA). MATERIAL/METHODS The effects of mGluR1 antagonist on some behaviors were tested in control groups of rats and in rats with chHA. Experimental chHA w...

The Escherichia coli adhesin involved in diffuse adherence (AIDA-I) is a multifunctional autotransporter protein that mediates bacterial aggregation and biofilm formation, as well as adhesion and invasion of cultured epithelial cells. To elucidate the structure-function relationships of AIDA-I, we performed transposon-based linker scanning mutagenesis and constructed mutants with site-directed ...

Nowadays the interoperability in Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) is a fundamental requirement. The Agency for Integration, Diffusion and Archive of Medical Information (AIDA) is an interoperability healthcare platform that ensures these demands and it is implemented in Centro Hospitalar do Porto (CHP), a major healthcare unit in Portugal. Therefore, the overall performance of CHP HIS depen...

We present AIDA*, a generic adaptable scheme for highly parallel iterative-deepening search on large-scale asynchronous MIMD systems. AIDA* is based on a data partitioning scheme, where the di erent parts of the search space are processed asynchronously in parallel. Existing sequential solution algorithms can be linked to the AIDA* routines to build a fast, highly parallel search program. Takin...
