Radiotherapy plus nimotuzumab or placebo in the treatment of high grade glioma patients: results from a randomized, double blind trial
(BioMed Central, 2013-06-19)
Background
The prognosis of patients bearing high grade glioma remains dismal. Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is well validated as a primary contributor of glioma initiation and progression. Nimotuzumab is a ...
Defects structure characterization of NiMnGa alloys by PALS
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
We have studied the behaviour of defects in off-stoichiometric Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys by means of positron lifetime spectroscopy. The measurements presented in this work have been performed in six ternary ...

Emergent synchronisation properties of a refrigerator demand side management system
(Elsevier, 2013-01)
In order to analyse the possibilities of improving grid stability on island systems by local demand response mechanisms,a multi-agent simulation model is presented. To support the primary reserve, an under-frequency load ...
Structural Basis for Feed-Forward Transcriptional Regulation of Membrane Lipid Homeostasis in Staphylococcus aureus
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01-03)
The biosynthesis of membrane lipids is an essential pathway for virtually all bacteria. Despite its potential importance for the development of novel antibiotics, little is known about the underlying signaling mechanisms ...
Use of generalised additive models to categorise continuous variables in clinical prediction
(BioMed Central, 2013-06-26)
Background: In medical practice many, essentially continuous, clinical parameters tend to be categorised by physicians for ease of decision-making. Indeed, categorisation is a common practice both in medical research and ...
Asymptotic Hyperstability of a Class of Linear Systems under Impulsive Controls Subject to an Integral Popovian Constraint
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
This paper is focused on the study of the important property of the asymptotic hyperstability of a class of continuous-time dynamic systems. The presence of a parallel connection of a strictly stable subsystem to an ...
Best Proximity Points of Generalized Semicyclic Impulsive Self-Mappings: Applications to Impulsive Differential and Difference Equations
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
This paper is devoted to the study of convergence properties of distances between points and the existence and uniqueness of best proximity and fixed points of the so-called semicyclic impulsive self-mappings on the union ...
Socioeconomic status, parental support, motivation and self-confidence in youth competitive sport
(Elsevier, 2013)
[EN] The relationship between family and competitive sport and its complex interactions has been studied as a key factor by several authors. However, many questions about how psychological, cultural and social variables ...
Ethnography as a linking method between psychology and sociology: research design
(Elsevier, 2013)
[EN] Ethnography is one of the most relevant methods in qualitative research, and both psychology and sociology use qualitative
methods in their research. This is essential when the purpose is to keep the historical memory ...
