Sr. Editor. En la relación médico-paciente, la comunicación de malas noticias se convierte en una experiencia difícil para el profesional de la salud, debido que la expresión verbal de una mala noticia trascenderá otras esferas en la percepción del paciente, y que afectará negativamente sus expectativas y proyectos de vida personal, familiar y social. Vinculado a ello, Robert Buckman, médico on...

A study of the phase and rheological behavior of sucrose hexadecanoate (C16SE)/cosurfactant/water systems in the presence of solubilized oil, using complementary techniques such as dynamic light scattering and small angle X-ray scattering, is presented. Viscoelastic wormlike micellar solutions are found when a nonionic lipophilic cosurfactant is added to C16SE aqueous systems. Contrary to previ...

If we are to believe the Daily Mail, US scientists have cloned the first human embryo — and destroyed it. This revelation came in the form of a Daily Mail ‘exclusive’, which appeared on 17 June. The headline announced the “first cloned human embryo,” and was accompanied by a front-page picture of a “12-day-old male human embryo consisting of 400 cells” that was reported to have been incinerated...

Abstrakt Hlavními požadavky kladenými na pohybové osy NC obráběcích strojů jsou vysoká přesnost polohování a vysoká dynamika pohybů. Základní předpoklad pro dosažení těchto protichůdných předpokladů jsou tuhá a lehká konstrukce mechanické struktury stroje. Těmito parametry je dána výše první antirezonanční frekvence, která omezuje nastavení zesílení kaskádně uspořádaných regulátorů rychlosti a ...

A BICOL derived monodentate phosphoramidite ligand gives ee's up to 89% in the enantioselective Rh-catalysed hydrogenation of N-acyl dehydroalanine using water as the solvent.

Presentamos un compilador capaz de generar analizadores sintácticos a partir de esquemas de análisis sintáctico. Dichos esquemas son representaciones de los analizadores en forma de sistemas deductivos, que abstraen los detalles de implementación y permiten definir y comparar fácilmente diferentes algoritmos. Nuestro compilador es capaz de generar, a partir de uno de estos esquemas, el código d...
