aujourd’hui, les progrès techniques et la modernité perturbent la quiétude humaine; ce qui constitue l'une des préoccupations principales des écrivains contemporains, y compris le clézio et tournier, qui trouvent la vie humaine en péril, c’est pourquoi ils recourent à la nature primitive. au constat du penseur allemand, heidegger, la cause essentielle de l’angoisse de l’homme moderne est due au...

BACKGROUND Conventional stemmed anatomical shoulder prostheses are widely used in the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The stemless shoulder prosthesis, in contrast, is a new concept, and fewer outcome studies are available. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to investigate the early functional outcome and postoperative proprioception of a stemless prosthesis in comparison with a ...

Centrosomes isolated from various sources, including human cells, have the capacity to induce parthenogenetic development when injected into unfertilized amphibian eggs. We recently isolated calf thymus centrosomes and showed that they differ structurally and functionally from previously isolated centrosomes of KE37 cells, in that the two centrioles in calf thymocytes are linearly associated by...

Introduction: To perform robust tractography, it is now clear that higher order models are needed to resolve crossing fibres [e.g. 1], and that probabilistic algorithms are required that take into account the inherently noisy nature of DWI data [e.g. 2]. It is now common therefore to characterise fibre orientations as a distribution (often referred to as the fibre orientation distribution (FOD)...

Resumo: O artigo apresenta o conceito de através das perspectivas histórica e filosófica em conexão com plano estético. foco do trabalho consiste apresentar as dinâmicas a partir da obra Sexta-feira ou os limbos pacífico, Michel Tournier, precisamente por meio novas versões personagens Robinson Crusoé compara...

W e have much to discover regarding the etiol-ogy of cerebral infarction, as the commonly recognized risk factors, such as hyperten-sion, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation, account for only a small proportion of stroke. Genetic factors are clearly important. Substantial genetic components underlie hypertension and diabetes. However, as contributors to the known risk factors for stroke, they are...

The BHK-21 line of Syrian hamster fibroblasts (1) is used widely for research on viruses and on the neoplastic transformation of cells in vitro. Bernhard and Tournier (2) were the first to describe a virus-like particle in BHK-21 clone 13 (BHK-21/13) cells. Subsequent studies have confirmed the presence of this particle in BHK-2l/ClS/TCG/A (5), BHK-21F (4), and BHK-21/13S (5). A detailed study ...

and suffering, life and death-all need examination and critique by the physician as the role of the healer is defined and clarified. Clarification and definition are the gifts of this well-written and lucid book by William F. May, Professor of Christian Ethics at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics, Georgetown University. Drawing upon both professional studies and literary works by Hemingway, Faulk...

Despite the significant progress in micro and information technologies and all the interest of the scientific community in the Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV), fully autonomous micro-helicopters of the size of a small bird are still not available. The Mesicopter group at Stanford University [1] studied the feasibility of a centimeter scale quadrotor. The group of Prof. Nonami at Chiba University [2...

Target audience: Researchers interested in optimizing High-Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging acquisitions. Introduction: Diffusion MRI methods based on high-angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) acquisitions provide a good trade-off between acquisition time and accuracy of the estimated diffusion or fiber orientation distribution function (dODF/fODF) [1-3]. Recently, an extensive eval...
