In this paper we outline an approach to the distributed simulation of agent-based systems using the SIM AGENT toolkit and the High Level Architecture (HLA) simulator interoperability framework. Using a simple Tileworld scenario as an example, we show how the HLA can be used to flexibly distribute a SIM AGENT simulation with different agents being simulated on different machines. We outline the ...

Adaptation theory explains that mothers’ subjective well-being (SWB) is determined by their abilities to adapt challenging life events using coping mechanisms. The literature highlights three latent mechanism factors: emotional regulation, mindfulness, and gratitude. This study aims build a model of SWB based on these factors. sample comprised 302 young mothers (20-25 years old) selected conven...

FANTOM DB, the database of Functional Annotation of RIKEN Mouse cDNA Clones, is designed to store sequence information of RIKEN full-length enriched mouse cDNA clones, graphical views of sequence analysis results, curated functional annotation information and additional descriptions, including Gene Ontology terms. RIKEN's Mouse Gene Encyclopedia Project aims to collect full-length enriched cDNA...

We analyze further a recently proposed S-matrix description of transplanckian scattering in the specific case of axisymmetric collisions of extended sources, where some of the original approximations are not necessary. We confirm the claim that such an approximate description appears to capture the essential features of (the quantum counterpart of) classical gravitational collapse. More specifi...

Special Preventive Programme, Centre for Health Protection, Department of Health, 3/F, Wang Tau Hom Jockey Club Clinic, 200 Junction Road East, Kowloon Using antiretrovirals to prevent HIV is nothing new. Even in the early 1990s when there were only the "first generation" anti-HIV drugs, biomedical means was conceptualised for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV and put...

The purpose of this study was to assess the predictors of functional outcome after right hemisphere stroke at 6-month follow up in patients with or without thrombolytic treatment. Thrombolysis did not predict functional outcome in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Lower acute phase basic activities of daily living (ADL) measured by the Barthel Index was a statistically significant...
