Recent advances in the design and construction of large inflatable/rigidizable space structures and potential new applications of such structures have produced a demand for better analysis and computational tools to deal with the new class of structures. Understanding stability and damping properties of truss systems composed of these materials is central to the successful operation of future s...

Background: Knowledge of variations in the origin of vertebral artery (VA) is indispensable to vascular surgeons. Aberrant origin of vertebral artery on either side is an uncommon finding. There are unilateral and bilateral variability in VA origin. Case presentation: We present a case of vertebral artery dissection who was found to have bilateral VAs aberrant origin. The right VA took origin ...

Se obtuvo el material para examen con el microscopio electronico, de un paciente filepino del "Walter Reed Army Hospital," en Washington, D. C., cuyo diagnostico clinico fue el de lepra con lesiones tanto lepromatosos (nodulares) como tuberculoides. El material se manejo esterilmente y las preparaciones se hicieron antes de dos horas despues de haber sido obtenido. Despues de dejarlas secar dur...

It is well established that postnatally, maternal psychopathology greatly increases a child’s risk for emotional disorders. This article addresses the formative phase that precedes the mother–infant mutually regulating dyad. Biopsychological data presented here suggest that women’s affective states during pregnancy—specifically depression, anxiety, and elevated life-stress—are associated with s...

Los sistemas de recuperación de información surgen de la necesidad del hombre de organizar la información contenida en bibliotecas para poder localizar todos los documentos contenidos en ellas. En la actualidad todo el que se conecta a la Web está en contacto con sistemas como Altavista, Google o Yahoo. El problema de estos buscadores es que a veces devuelven cientos o miles de resultados de lo...

The incidence of pre-lingual hearing loss (HL) is about 1 in 1000 neonates. More than 60% of cases are inherited. Non-syndromic HL (NSHL) is extremely heterogeneous: more than 130 loci have been identified so far. The most common form of NSHL is the autosomal recessive form (ARNSHL). In this study, a cohort of 36 big ARNSHL pedigrees with 4 or more patients from 7 provinces of Iran was investig...
