A behavior model for blood donors and marketing strategies to retain and attract them
(Univ Sao Paulo, Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirao Preto, 2014-06)Objective: analyze and propose a theoretical model that describes blood donor decisions to help staff working in blood banks (nurses and others) in their efforts to capture and retain donors. Methods: analysis of several ... -
A Behavioral Foundation for Models of Evolutionary Drift
(2005-07)Binmore and Samuelson (1999) have shown that perturbations (drift) are crucial to study the stability properties of Nash equilibria. We contribute to this literature by providing a behavioural foundation for models of ... -

(2016-02-02)This paper presents a business plan to create a new company Bomboy & Friends regarding the Exclusive Distribution of a fully Eco Friendly Water-Soluble Anti- Corrosive Prime named Life Guard Active ... -
A chemically inert Rashba split interface electronic structure of C-60, FeOEP and PTCDA on BiAg2/Ag(111) substrates
(IOP Publishing, 2014-04-04)The fields of organic electronics and spintronics have the potential to revolutionize the electronics industry. Finding the right materials that can retain their electrical and spin properties when combined is a technological ... -
A colorectal cancer genome-wide association study in a Spanish cohort identifies two variants associated with colorectal cancer risk at 1p33 and 8p12
(BioMed Central, 2013-01)Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a disease of complex aetiology, with much of the expected inherited risk being due to several common low risk variants. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified 20 CRC ... -
A common axiom for classical division rules for claims problems
(Departamento de Economía Aplicada IV, UPV/EHU, 2015)In this paper we introduce a new axiom, denoted claims separability, that is satisfied by several classical division rules defined for claims problems. We characterize axiomatically the entire family of division rules that ... -
A Comparative study on the onto-epistemological presuppositions in landscape descriptions of romantics and naturalists
(2015-05-11)Two facts are noteworthy in standard historiography on the perception and description of nature: (a) Apart from occasional exceptions (Hard 1970), there is no conceptual analysis of the onto-epistemological presuppositions ... -
A complex systems modelling approach for decentralized simulation of electrical microgrids
(IEEE, 2010)The structure and behavior of Electrical Grids share many of the properties of Complex Computer Systems, with microgrids and other decentralized electrical systems attached to them, so they can be interpreted as Systems ... -
A comprehensive method for the elastic calculation of the two-point wheel-rail contact
(Taylor & Francis, 2006)This work shows the method developed to solve the wheel-rail contact problem via a look-up table with a three-dimensional elastic model. This method enables introduction of the two contact point effect on vehicle movement ... -
A computational glance at organometallic cyclizations and coupling reactions
(2016-07-18)Organometallic chemistry is one of the main research topics in chemical science.Nowadays, organometallic reactions are the subject of intensive theoretical investigations.However, in many cases, only joint experimental and ... -
A Computational Module Assembled from Different Protease Family Motifs Identifies PI PLC from Bacillus cereus as a Putative Prolyl Peptidase with a Serine Protease Scaffold
(Public Library Science, 2013-08)Proteolytic enzymes have evolved several mechanisms to cleave peptide bonds. These distinct types have been systematically categorized in the MEROPS database. While a BLAST search on these proteases identifies homologous ... -
A Critical Review of the Morpheme Order Studies: The State of the Art
The purpose of this paper is to make a critical review of the history of the so-called morpheme order studies. First of all, a brief contextualisation of the morpheme order studies is presented at the time when the linguistic ... -
A Customized Pigmentation SNP Array Identifies a Novel SNP Associated with Melanoma Predisposition in the SLC45A2 Gene
(Public Library of Science, 2011-04-29)As the incidence of Malignant Melanoma (MM) reflects an interaction between skin colour and UV exposure, variations in genes implicated in pigmentation and tanning response to UV may be associated with susceptibility to ... -
A Data Dropout Compensation Algorithm Based on the Iterative Learning Control Methodology for Discrete-Time Systems
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)This paper deals with the convergence of a remote iterative learning control system subject to data dropouts. The system is composed by a set of discrete-time multiple input-multiple output linear models, each one with its ... -
A Decade of GRB Follow-Up by BOOTES in Spain (2003-2013)
(Hindawi, 2016)This article covers ten years of GRB follow-ups by the Spanish BOOTES stations: 71 follow-ups providing 23 detections. Follow-ups by BOOTES-1B from 2005 to 2008 were given in a previous article and are here reviewed and ... -
A Delphi Process to Optimize Quality and Performance of Drug Evaluation in Neonates
(Public Library Science, 2014-09-11)Background: Neonatal trials remain difficult to conduct for several reasons: in particular the need for study sites to have an existing infrastructure in place, with trained investigators and validated quality procedures ... -
A detailed investigation of classification methods for vowel speech imagery recognition
(2013-12-18)Accurate and fast decoding of speech imagery from electroencephalographic (EEG) data could serve as a basis for a new generation of brain computer interfaces (BCIs), more portable and easier to use. However, decoding of ... -
A dynamic CGE modelling approach for analyzing trade-offs in climate change policy options: the case of Green Climate Fund
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-09-08)We investigate the trade-offs between economic growth and low carbon targets for developing and developed countries in the period up to 2035. Policy options are evaluated with an original version of the dynamic CGE model ... -
A factor model of seasonality in stock returns
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002)Most empirical evidence on stock market seasonality is based on the Dummy Variable Approach (DVA). Typically, the DVA leaves too much variability of stock returns unexplained and inference usually leads to weak or null ... -
