Her research interests include the history of population and international migration. She is the author of many publications on these topics. Between 1994 and 1998 she was a member of the South–North Migration Committee of the International Union for the Scie...

Counsellors and practicum supervisors reflected on their professional education preparation, and sometimes lack of preparation, for engagement in multicultural counselling and social justice activities. They highlighted the need for increased emphasis on applied experiences, both within and outside the classroom; the trans‐ lation of theory into practice; a broader, systemic conceptualisation o...

A Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure Trial (SCD-HeFT) has proven the efficacy of prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) use for chronic heart failure pa‐ tients without sustained ventricular tachycardia (SVT) and a history of ventricular fibril‐ lation, not restricted in those with myocardial infarction [1]. Since ICD is an expensive device, risk stratification is required...

Garment is a mechanism for abstraction and encapsu lation of languages It aims specially to make best sup port on the design and implementation of Domain Spe ci c Language DSL This approach opens some new prospects for reuse of software artifacts In this paper we include a brief introduction to Garment approach and a discussion of various possibilities of software reuse supported by the Garment...

Tissue cultures o f Pimpinella anisum and P. major were used to study the biosynthesis o f pseudoisoeugenols. The putative precursors were labelled with 13C with one exception that was labelled with i4C. The incorporation o f the label was controlled by 13C N M R and liquid scintil­ lation, respectively. The biosynthetic sequence found was L-phenylalanine, /-cinnamic acid, /?-coumaric acid, / 7...

A fast and accurate algorithm for the computation of eeective electric and mathematically equivalent properties of composites with non-smooth interfaces is reported. The algorithm is based on an integral equation reformu-lation of the electrostatic partial diierential equation and a fast hierarchical technique for potential eld evaluation. In a numerical example, two hundred large and strongly ...

With the increase in the size of main memory in computer systems multiple disks and aggressive prefetching can be employed to signi cantly reduce I O time Two prefetching strategies intra run and inter run for external merging using multiple disks are studied Their performance is evaluated using simu lation and simple analytical expressions are derived to explain their asymptotic behavior The r...

We propose a technique for expressing the ST semantics in SOS style for terms of a process algebra. This technique, which is based on the idea of giving unique names to actions and reusing the names of terminated actions, allows us to decide and axiomatize weak ST bisimu-lation for all processes that possess a nite state interleaving semantics. Moreover we show that the proposed technique allow...

Limited options to treat hypoxemia during one-lung venti• lation (OLV) compared to open thoracotomy. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) interferes with surgical exposure during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Priority on rapid and complete lung collapse. • Possibility of prolonged periods of OLV. Particularly dur• ing the learning phase of the surgical team. Decreased posto...

We prove that all combinatorial diierential manifolds involving only Euclidean oriented matroids are PL manifolds. In doing so we introduce a new notion of triangulations of oriented matroids, and show that any triangulation of a Euclidean oriented matroid is a PL sphere. In Section 5 we adapt these results to get a new deenition of tri-angulations of oriented matroid polytopes, and show that a...
