This paper presents the demo version of FIVE (Framework for an Integrated Voice Environment). Main characteristics, some implementation details and a demonstrate plan are considered.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been an excellent model system for examining mechanisms and consequences of genome instability. Information gained from this yeast model is relevant to many organisms, including humans, since DNA repair and DNA damage response factors are well conserved across diverse species. However, S. cerevisiae has not yet been used to fully address whether the rate of accumula...

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae divides asymmetrically, with a smaller daughter cell emerging from its larger mother cell. While the daughter lineage is immortal, mother cells age with each cell division and have a finite lifespan. The replicative ageing of the yeast mother cell has been used as a model to study the ageing of mitotically active human cells. Several microfluidic platf...

Children's (N = 58) perceptions of emotional support from mother and best friend were assessed at age 8. Perceptions of support from mother were predicted by attachment security at age 4, suggesting continuity in the children's internal working model of self in relation to mother. Preschool attachment security predicted age 8 perceptions of maternal support better than the mother's actual behav...

Children's social and emotional adjustment at age 8 were examined in relation to attachment security, parenting style, setting conditions, and social and emotional adjustment at age 4. Seventy-nine children participated in videotaped interaction sessions with their mothers and with unfamiliar peers at the two ages. Data were derived from videotape coding, mother questionnaires, and child sociom...

background: recent studies have demonstrated the high prevalence of vitamin d deficiency in the general population. pregnancy and preterm delivery are known as risk factors for vitamin d deficiency. consequently, vitamin d level in women with preterm deliveries might vary from those with term pregnancies. in this study, we aimed to compare vitamin d level in term and preterm infant–mother pairs...

a 2-year-old boy was born at term of healthy, non-consanguineous iranian parents. his mother attended in the clinic with the history of sometimes discoloration of diapers after passing urine. she noticed that first at the age of one month with intensified in recent months. his physical examination and growth parameters were normal. his mother denied taking any medication (sorbitol, nitrofuranto...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of Kangaroo mother care (KMC) and conventional methods of care (CMC) on growth in LBW babies (> 2000 g). STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. SETTING Level III NICU of a teaching institution in western India. SUBJECTS 206 neonates with birth weight < 2000 g. INTERVENTION The subjects were randomized into two groups: the intervention group (KMC-103) r...

Polycythemia is defined as a venous hematocrit above 65%. The hematocrit in a newborn peaks at 2 h of age and decreases gradually after that. The relationship between hematocrit and viscosity is almost linear till 65% and exponential thereafter. Increased viscosity of blood is associated with symptoms of hypo-perfusion. Clinical features related to hyperviscosity may affect all organ systems. N...
