Systems biology is based on the understanding that the behaviour of the whole is greater than would be expected from the sum of its parts. Thus the ultimate goal of systems biology is to predict the behaviour of the whole system on the basis of the list of components involved. Recent advances in ‘-omics’ technologies and the development of new computational techniques and algorithms have greatl...

KPD 0005+5106, with an effective temperature of $\simeq$200,000 K, is one the hottest white dwarfs (WDs). ROSAT unexpectedly detected "hard" ($\sim$1 keV) X-rays from this apparently single WD. We have obtained Chandra observations that confirm spatial coincidence hard X-ray source 0005+5106. also XMM-Newton as well PG 1159$-$035 and WD 0121$-$756, which are whose were by at 3$\sigma$-4$\sigma$...

The growing interest in the psychological distress in patients with cancer has been the major reason for the conduction of this study. The aims were to assess the relationship of hopelessness, anxiety, distress, and preparatory grief, as well as their predictive power to hopelessness. Ninety-four patients with advanced cancer completed the study at a palliative care unit in Athens, Greece. Beck...

We develop an approach to utilize anisotropic metamaterials to solve one of the fundamental problems of modern plasmonics--parasitic scattering of surface waves into free-space modes, opening the road to truly two-dimensional plasmonic optics. We illustrate the developed formalism on the examples of plasmonic refractor and plasmonic crystal, and discuss limitations of the developed technique an...

Field orientation, in one of its many forms, is an established control method for high dynamic performance AC drives. In particular, for induction motors, indirect fieldoriented control is a simple and highly reliable scheme which has become the de facto industry standard. In spite of its widespread popularity no rigorous stability proof for this controller was available in the literature. In a...
