a SPECIAL ISSUE II, pp. 71 – 85, 2008 PHENOMENOLOGY AS ANOTHER TOOLBOX FOR NEUROSCIENTISTS? Lars Schwabe and Olaf Blanke “[I]t has become next to impossible for a single mind fully to command more than a small specialized portion of it. I can see no other escape from this dilemma [...] than that some of us should venture to embark on a synthesis of facts and theories, albeit with second-hand an...

Th is paper investigates the role of information technology in fi nancial reporting as well as the relationship between using information technology and its impact on the quality of fi nancial reporting. To identify the impact of information technology on quality of fi nancial reporting, a questionnaire was designed and developed. In order to test the hypotheses, T-Test, ANOVA and Duncan’s Test...

Endoscopy is a common procedure and is associated with risk, albeit very small, of cross infection. Adherence to recommendation of disinfection requires to be followed at all time. The chemical disinfectant used; in particular gluteraldehye which widely used is associated with complications. We report the case of glutaraldehyde colitis in a man who had undergone colonoscopy for screening purpos...

Kenyon et al. (STOC 04) compute the distortion between one-dimensional finite point sets when the distortion is small; Papadimitriou and Safra (SODA 05) show that the problem is NP-hard to approximate within a factor of 3, albeit in 3 dimensions. We solve an open problem in these two papers by demonstrating that, when the distortion is large, it is hard to approximate within large factors, even...

The pupil response of Porichthys notatus to different intensities of illumination is described and compared to that of P. myriaster, Cephaloscyllium ventroisum, and a human. While the fully dark adapted pupil is round, at the highest light intensities it consists of only two small, almost independent, apertures with a total area 4.9% of that observed in the fully dilated animal. The response is...

The exchange option was introduced by Margrabe in [1] and its price was explicitly computed therein, albeit with some small variations to the models considered here. After that important introduction of an option to exchange one commodity for another, a lot more work has been devoted to variations of exchange options with attention focusing mainly on pricing but not hedging. In this paper, we d...

  Clear cell variant of ependymoma is almost exclusively located in the supratentorial region. Only few cases of this tumor that located in the spinal cord have been reported. Here we report one case of intramedullary clear cell ependymoma of the lumbar spinal cord. In microscopic examination, the tumor cells were round to oval with moderate amounts of clear cytoplasm and centrally located lar...

Background: Management of lymphedema is a challenging issue in surgery.  A variety of operations have been used, albeit with little success. Objective: To investigate the efficacy of testicular patch as a lymphatic conduit. Methods: An incision was made on the inguinal area of 10 dogs and all lymph nodes of inguinal area were excised. The tunica albuginea and parenchyma near the hilum of testes...

Although porous-surfaced orthopedic implants have been designed for fixation by bone ingrowth, there is clinical evidence that this does not always occur. Initial implant movement relative to host bone can result in attachment by a non-mineralized fibrous connective tissue layer. The ranges of movement that result in either bone or fibrous connective tissue fixation are observed in dogs in two ...
