A 68 year old woman was submitted to a mediastinal lymphangioleiomyoma resection found in a follow-up study of lower left lung resection due to bronchiectasis complicated by chylothorax. This led to a revaluation of the pulmonary specimen that revealed, in addition to inflammatory bronchiectasis, small spindle cell nodules in the lung parenchyma, similar to minute pulmonary meningothelial-like ...

The cloud consumer needs to control the individual consumption of their users. The UCONABC model allows periodic evaluations, performing continuous reevaluations of authorization attributes. However, the UCONABC was not designed for the context of the cloud computing. This work shows that it is possible to provide resilience to the UCONABC authorization revaluation. The proof-of-concept prototy...

1The sequence within intermediate regimes is somewhat arbitrary. For example, if the band is as narrow as 2 4 % as in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism or even 1% as under Bretton Woods, then it would properly belong closer to the fixed-rate end of the spectrum. Similarly, if the adjustable peg involved a devaluation or revaluation every time a moderate shock came along, it would properly be...

In the blocking paradigm, subjects receive reinforced presentations of a compound, AX, after reinforced presentations of A alone. Following this training, responding to X is often diminished relative to a control group, which did not receive the prior training with A. Standard associative theories of learning such as the Rescorla-Wagner model (Rescorla & Wagner, 1972) explain this effect by ass...

The interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations have very significant impacts on the domestic economy and capital market development. Adopted from the traditional theory such as the interest rate parity, capital flow theory and the classical theory of IS-LM model, the paper does an in-depth theoretical and empirical research and analysis on the interaction and complex relationship among the th...
